"Youko, why are you crying? Shouldn't I be the one…?"

"But- I'm leaving you behind." She reaches out and I take her hand. "I'm so sorry, Sei..."

"Hush. Don't be silly. There won't be a day that I don't hear you lecturing me."

I wink at her and she smiles. I hate to see her so weak, and she does, too. She used to
be my stronghold, and now I cannot even be her knight. She often told me to leave, but
I promised long ago I would stay. "Lest jealous Heaven stole our hearts." I'm losing to God.

Is this their way, I wonder; their last resort to guiding the lost sheep home? To take her
away from me; she, for whom I had forsaken all and everything, absolution and salvation?
They must know about my love for her. And they must be jealous. And they want me all
the more. So much that they relieve a pure soul of her earthly existence. They made her a bait,
and as much as I hate them for that, I cannot forsake her. I will live, and bide my time as a
good Christian soul. Until I see her again.
