Saviour-V teleports in...
It seems that I've gotten quite complacent over the past few months.
GemWing teleports in, upon sensing her master's approach...
Indeed you have, my lord. I've also noticed your melancholiness off late for the past 6 months or so...what troubles you?
Nothing. And everything. While I look forward to the possibility of being fully employed by UNISEL to serve them in Batang Berjuntai, my heart seems to ache for company. In a way, GemWing...
Saviour-V turns to face his Guardian Spirit...
...I would like to say that it's your fault, but I can't lie to myself.
You ARE lonely, Saviour-V. And you don't REALLY need me to feel that. It's no longer "I need to get you a host body," but more of "I wish I just had someone to keep me company, and bring me out of my low moments." Sou ka, taicho?
Sou desu, GemWing. Indeed, it is quite a pain to have to contend with loneliness in a sense, but a much more painful situation to contend with the loss if you ever loved, and lost, someone.
Still missing Maryam? You seem to have become quite the ghost with regards to her name. Even though you were advised not to continue, you do worry for her, in a way. And I know, Saviour-V, that a part of you still aches for her.
Indeed. But I doubt that she would return, GemWing; I hurt her feelings as much as she hurt mine, but my own transgression is much worse than hers. Perhaps I should've given the two of us one more chance.
Perhaps NOT. Riz, you know full well that there's bound to be someone better; just like what Maryam once said to you. Just keep your head up, and keep on fighting.
I don't really know, GemWing. It's owing to you that I've not lost my mind fully, although I have been getting rather forgetful about things. Now, I seem to wonder what my purpose of existing is.
Pull yourself together, Riz...you can't afford to give up on Life just yet!
But I failed to keep my relationship together. I mean, after all I said, and did, for her, why did I not give her the chance to be the woman she could've been? Heck, why couldn't I even help the other people I knew in my younger days at all?
Saviour-V yells...
WHAT KIND OF SAVIOUR AM I, FOR GOD'S SAKE?!
My lord, you do realize that for all that your identity means, you can't really save all of mankind. The one thing you can do is to save yourself from yourself....and right now, my lord, forgive me for being frank...
GemWing promptly slaps Saviour-V across his face, hard...
....but you're NOT doing a good job of it!
This isn't like you, Riz, I mean, the Saviour-V I once knew would get up and keep on going, keeping his head high, and giving more of himself to others!
There will be someone for you, Riz, just keep on looking, and don't give up on living. Please...it's for both our sakes.
GemWing hugs Saviour-V close to her, tears streaking across her face...
Just don't give up...please...
Saviour-V, shocked, hugs GemWing close, as the Sanctuary's lights dim...
Thank you, GemWing, for being you. I just hope that I CAN survive and give it my all.
Saviour-V, still hugging GemWing, kisses her, as the Sanctuary darkens completely, leaving only the silhouettes of a fallen hero, still holding onto his beloved Guardian Spirit...
