I.
You were always there
Before I even knew you were.
You were asleep in me
Before I was whisked back
To where you and I became one—
I was just child, a toddler even.
And you awoke on that full moon,
Welcoming me home,
Beckoning me to sign my life
Away for the upcoming year.
No one knows who you are,
No one can see you but me.
Who are you?
Are we...
Friends?
II.
Where are you going?
Why are you leaving me?
Why now?
Come back
Please...
Can you hear me anymore?
Pharos?
III.
Is that you, Pharos?
Your eyes are unforgettable,
But do you remember me?
Look at me.
It is you, Pharos,
No,
Ryoji,
It is you who stand in front of me,
In front of us,
But what are you?
She doesn't like you,
but why?
But it's fine because you're here.
Please stay this time.
Please.
IV.
So you are Death,
Our friend,
Our Enemy.
Ryoji, how could you ask this of me?
You are more like us
Than you imagine,
We could never,
I could never.
I will find a way to save you,
Save us.
I will.
V.
I did.
