Please forgive me...
I wasn't there when you needed me most...

I can never forgive myself...

Some kind of "guardian" I turned out to be.
In the end, you still ended up...
But how did it happen...

When I had first heard the news...
I immediately came here,
Running, telling myself it couldn't be true,
That they had taken you when I wasn't there.

But of course it was true.
I had failed in my duties as your guardian...
Please forgive me,
For I cannot forgive myself.

What you taught me
Is far too precious to throw away.
I will continue what you had started.
Even if it costs me my life.

I am sorry.
I have to leave now.
Sylphiel is worried about me.
She conducted your funeral, did you see?
How her words brought tears to everyone's eyes.
How she herself broke down in front of everyone.
She wishes you a peaceful rest.
As do I.

...
Goodbye...
