I liked her a lot. [As a friend and... well. He knew she was thinking of other people more. And that was ok. That was always Okuyasu's life. ]

I wanted her happiness and protection than anything else.

Mari-chan, you, and Niles were the only ones who were able to know me as... myself. It's not much, but I liked that enough that I'd help you. I'm glad to be known as myself and not just someone that Rohan knows or "Rohan's friend" like others did since day 1.

I'm grateful for you guys.
