Epilogue A Wish

The rest passed by in a vague timeline of events. After much deliberation I rode the bus a couple hours south and found a ship that would take passengers. I had decided to head for Europe because I had always wanted to the almost the entirety of the voyage I had was riddled with sea sickness and slept fitfully to ward it off until I arrived at port. Then the bus ride to the hotel passed by at a crawl until I was uneventfully shoved off at my destination. In the end I dropped off my luggage in my room and had just left for dinner when-

I blinked. A dull pain ached in my chest but feeling was almost completely gone from my body. My vision was just a colorless blur and my eyelids grew heavier. Blood trickled down the side of my mouth but I didn't have the strength to wipe it away.

Those months truly were the best moments of my life.

No matter how this ended I wouldn't trade them for the world or the universe even. Truth is I'm not scared to die anymore. I had meant something to someone and it was all I could have asked for; to love and be loved in return. I smiled softly. It was bittersweet that it would all end like this. I just only wish I could have told him-

I love you too Ryoma.
