the pain felt like nothing. you had to keep on living, for both of us.
( her expression.. turned into a more sad one. her gaze is slowly drifting away. )
i know that, more than anything in the world. having you by my side, truly saved me from these dark days.

as your servant, it is my duty to keep you safe.
