Suite Precure
Goodbye
Noise could only watch as Cure Muse, slipped away, her amber eyes closing for the last time, surrounded by people who loved her.
It seemed like only yesterday she was a young princess living in the human world with her grandfather, only yesterday he tricked her into tending to his wounds. Now she was a former Queen, a mother, and a grandmother. Only yesterday she was the youngest of a group of brave warriors fighting for their smiles, the last one to join their group. Today she was the last one to die.
It seemed like only yesterday she and the others promised they'd be together forever, and now they were gone forever.
And he was still here. He would always be here.
He had tried once to end his life, but they had loved him, they had stopped him.
He was born of the sadness of others, he knew sadness better than anyone.
It hurt it hurt so much.
He remembered being there for her when her grandfather died, when her father, and then mother died. He had been there when Hibiki died, and then Kanade, Hummy and Siren. He had been there when Souta died too.
And she had loved him, and embraced him, despite the fact he was the very thing causing her so much pain.
"She's gone Pii-chan." A voice whispered. He looked up at the girl behind him. It was Cure Harmony, Major Land's current Queen. Ako's daughter. He remembered when she was born, a happy time. He looked into her eyes full of tears, her mother's amber eyes.
She was looking to him for comfort.
He flew right into her waiting arms, and she squeezed tight.
"I'm so glad you're here," she said, sobbing like the little girl she once was, the little girl her mother was before her, the little girl her own daughter, hanging on her side, was.
He thought back to what Ako told him the day her grandfather died, "You aren't to blame, I'm sad now because Grandfather made me really happy. It will get better, I know you'll make sure of that."
He was sadness. And that was okay. He would be there as long as people were sad.
He would be there to comfort him.
