Do you remember me? I remember you.

Memory can be a cursed, cursed thing. Do you know what it is like, my precious Chosen One? There is a reason that the wheel of reincarnation spins on, and each life is rewritten. Those who cannot be purged of their shackles are pathetic indeed. For the past binds them, cruelly, and they can never stop looking back.

What if…

There are so many regrets, so many lives wasted. You are a carefree child, but you blossom quickly and die in a spark of glory. And I wish you would not. I wish you could stay…

But it’s all right. I will bear the burden for you. For you must stay innocent, or else you would have no hope.

Those of us who see the failures cannot even hope in love…

I’m sorry, Red. I’m sorry… you deserve better than me. But I still want you, and I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine.

Anything.
