.... goodbye


Meryl was outside of Milly's room: one hand on her mouth; her eyes full of tears. She wanted to go to her and to try to console her pain. But she never had been good in theese things and she didn't have the courage.

"At least you have to be strong Meryl. Do it for her... do it for him.... I wouldn't have never thought that it would end like this... Perhaps I deserved it... I never have been a saint... but I thought that this time the things would have gone in another way... Stay near her... She is a really special girl... Bye Meryl"





Vash was sitting with the back laid to the wall while the two suns was setting; an expression of pain hidden behind the sun-glasses.

"You feel responsible of that, don't you? You are tinghing that it is your fault if I'm dead? Right, Spikie?"

"Wolfwood!" Vash said jumping to feet and watching around looking for his friend "... No..."

Wolfwood's gost lighted up a cigarette and put a hand on his shoulder "It's not your fault... Perhaps if I had killing Chapel with the first blow, I would not be dead... or perhaps not... But with 'maybe', isn't gone from no part. And then for once, I felt me in peace with myself... I'll miss you, Spikie! And I that wanted to see how it would end.... Goodbye Vash "





Milly still was seated on Nicholas'bed: her arms around the knees close against the chest. She was crying desparately for the pain.

"Please, Honey, don't do this way... I can't hold you like this... Why?!" and he tightened strongly the fists, "I deserved to die after all I did, but she... she didn't deserve this! Not her... "

Nicholas wanted to console her, he wished it desperately, but he couldn't. He was dead and he couldn't stay with she never more.

"I would like remain a little more with you... but in particular with you Honey.... I wolud like it very much.... and instead..."

"Why?" Milly cried, "I waited for you.... Oh Nicholas... I couldn't even say you that I... I... " the sobs prevented them to continue.

But Nicholas knew what she was going to say "I love you too, Honey" whispered while a tear fought to slide down on his cheek, "... I would have intentional to say it to you, to stay with you forever... Milly forgive me" and disappeared.
