...
The war is over...
...
But this is only the beginning...
...
Complain, complain, complain...\nWhat is it now?
Hm?!
You are a fool! Just standing there and\nacting nonchalant!
Have you already forgotten about me?!
You said you were going to vanish...
I also said I would always be with you!
But perhaps you would have preferred it if I had\nvanished without a trace!
Hmph. You were alone... And so I chose to come\nback to this world...to stay with you.
I was doing OK...
I was lonely.
Do not put on a show! You know you cannot hide\nyour truth from me.
I know, I know. Keep back your tears.\nYou have me now.
And I must say...that you have done quite well.
Of course you have. I chose to join our souls\nbecause I have great faith in you.
And yet, I must admit I did not know you would\nachieve so much.
To think you could have died so early on...
Was it you who saved me?
That was a close call...
Well, who can say? My memory is faint...
And that is all you have to say? You are impossible\nto stir...
But all is well that ends so well. Is that not what \nthey say?
Since you're here... I want you to have this.
Huh? What is that thing?!
A ring, of course. But I must ask... For whom?
My pocket.
I see... Or no. I take it back. You are not making\nany sense!
Could it be...that my own feelings were\nsomehow influential?
But when I think about it like that, I can't help\nbut feel that...that...
That I'm so in love I should make an eternal vow!
Do you really love me that much?
What?! Oh! I! Were you...eavesdropping?!
Oh, fine! I shall admit... I do.
I love you deeply! Overwhelmingly! Passionately!\nOurs is a love without an end!
And so... I guess I shall accept that ring of yours.
You will?
Indeed. It's only right, for you and I are joined\nwithin our souls.
And that is much the same as marriage,\ndon't you think?
The stone within your chest is little more than\ndecoration now.
The stone within your chest... It is no more.
That means...it is within your very soul that I exist.
...
And so? Whatever are you waiting for?
How do I...
Hm? Ah. Well, just wear it on your own finger!\nOur love is all that matters, not a ring.
The two of us are one, for now and ever. I hope you\nare aware of that.
In sickness and in health, and come what may, I shall\nbe deep within your heart.
I...I love you. And I can feel the warmth of love\nfrom you as well.
I love you too.
I know. You can no longer hide a thing from me.
The day you die, I'll follow you. We shall journey\nas one until the end of time.
I never tire of being around you.
Since we could not trade words for far too long,\nI have much that I wish to say to you!
I know just where to start. Do you recall what we\nspoke of before?
I had told you not to let your guard down...\nHonestly, I adore you, but you can be so childish...
