Fire Requiem

I've lost you...
Now I understand how much you suffered.
You were living with a pain like this. It was so hard for you...
You should have hated me... but...
you protected me...
You allowed me to live.

But now you are free from your pain.
You will not suffer anymore.

I will continue to live with my broken heart.

It will serve as my atonement for what I did to you..
I must make reparations for the lives I have destroyed...

It will be difficult but I must do it.
