dramatispersonae | Guy Cecil's Heart

...I'm still afraid.

. . . "If you keep being caught up in the past, you can't go forward."

...I can't just let go of it, Gailardia.

It isn't that you have to let go just like that.

. . .

Then what should I do?

. . .

The world kept existing, even if ours was gone. We could have learned to claim our own world again. Built anew, instead of hating how easily the world can keep living despite what happens in it.

You hadn't even lived half your life. There's so much you could have done. There's no giving up the past completely. But throwing away your future is awful, too.

I want a future where Vandesdelca Musto Fende is the man he should have grown to be. That I know you can be.

...And if that man doesn't want a future?

. . .

I can't accept that. If you don't want a future, why does your life in the past matter so much to you?

Because I was happy then.

. . .

I understand that you want to die.

But . . . we're in another world. There's still things we can't fathom out there. You could live three times as long as you have lived now. Three lifetimes. And even with all your penance due, the crimes you've committed, there's a chance in front of you even now to have a new life, keep a world from dying. You could become happy again.

[...clenches his fists.]

I don't care.

. . .

[shifts from next to him to kneel in front of him, and puts his hands over his.]

[blinks, looking straight at him.]

Tell me what you care about.

...Sapphire, Hunter, Echo, Kitsunebi, Mako, yourself...and Tear.

[hesitates]

The people in my memories as well. Mary, my mother...Ion, Arietta, Sync...The woman who tried to kill me and the man that died for me. Asch, and Luke.

[He listens quietly, and squeezes his hands.]

Van...

We can save Tear. And Luke. Asch is out there. He's done amazingly well.

Didn't you just meet Mako? You're able to know him because your heart was open just enough.

[looks back at him quietly, then pulls his hands back]

. . . Vandesdelca?

[moves out of his chair and kneels down beside Guy, wrapping his arms around him and holding him close]

[...

pulls in a deep breath and hugs him back, tight.]

[...]

[lets go after several moments]

. . . [straightens up, standing in front of him]

You have a place with all of them. If you're not there, that place is just empty. We've lost enough to know that.

I want you to claim whatever you need from me if it means you can hold onto your life longer.

[...takes a breath and looks down.]

I don't know what that is yet.

I happen to be very patient.

[...laughs weakly.]

I'm sorry.
