Maria: There's something I was meaning to talk to you about. *looks at Shadow with a sad face* It's kind of important.
Shadow: What's wrong? Did I do something?
Maria: No, of course not!
Shadow: Then, what is it?
Maria: I just wanted to talk to you about this in case something happens to me. *sighs* In case my disease causes an effect which I can't back away from.
Shadow: Maria, why are you talking like this? You're... you're... *breathes heavily* you're acting like you are about to die... Are you?
Maria: No. But like I said, it's just for in case.
Shadow: Okay...
Maria: No matter what, our outcome in the end is death. Well, for you, it my take longer. So, if anything does happen to me, please promise me, you'll be strong.
Shadow: Maria, I-
Maria: I'm saying this for your own good, Shadow.
Shadow: *tears up* Maria-
Maria: We've grown so close with each other that I know you may not be able to move on without me.
Shadow: *cries* But, I don't want you to go.
Maria: *lightly smiles* Oh Shadow. *hands Shadow a blue flower*
(A/N: There were a few bell-flowers on the ship. The one Maria is giving to Shadow is another bell-flower, it's not the one Shadow gave to her; this is a different one.)
Shadow: *takes the flower while still crying*
Maria: *kisses Shadow's forehead*
