"Haha, I guess this really is the end, huh? Life can be funny sometimes."

Scaramouche chuckles, looking towards my direction.

"Oh god, you're right. Haha, at least I'm dying with you."

I reply, tearing up.

"So I guess this is time I tell you?"

He looks confused, so I try not to wallow in regret before speaking.

"I love you."

....

"I wish you had told me sooner. I feel the same way..."

His tone and grammar became more polite, and his soft hand held the grasp of mine.

"Maybe if the world wasn't
falling apart."

I giggle. How could I be dumb enough to not realize?

"Jeez, I'm sugarcoating it. My love for you is way more complicated than just a simple 'I love you,' Scara."

He peers at me, but smiles slightly, even if its the closest to a smile I could get from him.

"I love you too, Aether."

... "We were stupid for our deception."

I smile, as we close our eyes as our last goodbye to each other.
