Oops... I must remind me not to talk alone so loud here in Aoi-ya...
I had no parents by my side, but somehow I didn't miss them all that much. For sure I'd like to had had mum and dad around, but I was always surrounded by an outstanding crew and I had never missed anything. I don't complain about the people that I live with, I don't complain about the Aoi-ya folks... But I miss him!
After all, he's the person that spent more of his time with me when I was a child! I got affected to him! I have good memories of the time he was here at Aoi-ya, with Hanya and the others. They were so nice and I felt the family I needed all over.
They're all wrong! Aoshi-sama didn't change all that much! I know he did an awful thing to Okina, but Himura promised me he'd bring him back, the way he had been! He's just like that, and maybe he's done some things wrong, but he's not a bad man!
I thank everybody for having been around all the time and making me feel secure and having tought me things about life and stuff, but now I think I know enough to fly alone. And that's what I'm gonna do! I wanna be me and do the things I think that are the right ones. I'll proove everybody I'm able to develop alone. I'll show I'm not a child anymore. I'll show you, Aoshi-sama, that I had grown up and that I'm now a woman, by helping you out, cause I know you just need some contact with people to come back to what you used to be, not matter how aloof you act like. You know why? Because I know you don't feel like this! Even if everybody rejects you, I'm not an "everybody", I'm Misao!
I'm adult enough to live and act by myself, I'll show you. And you made me like that, Aoshi-sama.
I wasn't walking with angels
I was talking to myself
Rising up to the surface
Raging against the night, starless night
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Oh, sweet miracle
Love's sweet miracle of life
