“Just the thought of crashing
through that sounds scary.”
I speak my mind, trying
to vision that happening.

“It won't be. We will be free.”

Tetsu smiles at me a warm
smile.

“If we stay here any longer
and feed into despair, we
will die a second time and
become reprobates.”

“You mean wicked just
like Ronin and Cerise?”
I asks Tetsu who nods
in agreement.

I think back to the glass
painting of the Holy
Rose.

I really do want to leave
this God forsaken place.

I know Tetsu desires
the same thing but
where will we end
up after?

I rest my head on
Tetsu’s shoulder,
feeling so cold.

Tetsu feels warmer
than me.

I wonder why.

More images of the Holy
Rose flashes through
my mind.

“Allow me to save you
both.” A voice whispers
in my ear.

A voice that surely wasn't
Testu's.

Who was that?

Sudden peace washes
over me and I close
my eyes.

My mind is quiet
and my heart feels
at ease.
