—That day, you died.

You, who dreamed of eternity and warmth, left first, collapsing on the cold, chilly floor.

---

You seemed like a fool, always grinning no matter what I did, making me look forward to whatever you said. And yet, that innocent, foolish side of you became strangely familiar and dear to me. Laughing together when happy, crying together when sad.

Living like that, I began to resemble you, and that influence reached the prisoners—

—Or so it was.

---

I knew well that I could never see you again. Unless the world had gone mad, meeting someone who had entered eternal sleep was nothing more than a story in a novel.

Even so, I missed you. I didn't want to believe that you had killed me with your kind, warm words and then left me all alone. Paradoxical, isn't it? I know. I couldn't let go; I looked forward to the day we might meet again, yet feared how you would never forgive my actions until now.

I felt as if I would drown, sinking deep into the waves of longing and mourning. My heart and thoughts were stained blue, submerged.

Just when I thought I would sink and die with you—

I faced you once again.

---

You, with your unblemished, clear, and pure light, and I, broken and shattered in every way, seemed like a strange pair. It might be more accurate to say we are the most mismatched things in the world.

To someone like you, is it okay if I utter these foolish words?

And no matter what I say, could you forgive me and love me?
