...I do not understand.

This is not the death that...I remember. My wounds....are gone. My pain is gone. But I remember it all....it's too clear....what could it mean?

I can't feel....I can't feel her anymore. She was always there, even across the galaxy, I could feel her. Even in that place....that warmth, I could feel her. Has she....no, she can't have. She's the strongest of us all! She has to be....she had to be alive. Yes. She must be. I'm just...not feeling her, somehow. She promised, and I believe her.

And yet....My chest hurts, so badly. There can only be one reason.

...

Taiki. Yaten. And...Seiya. I promised to bring you all home. I promised....you would be safe, that I would save you.

I lied.

Forgive me.
