When I first met her, the snow seemed to glimmer with light. Even now, I remember it as if it was only yesterday.
Every day I'd return from work to find a home-cooked meal waiting for me. That alone was enough to make all the snow of Emberglow shimmer with a warm, inviting light.
Before I met Rinyuu, all I could think about was creating a new elixir.
Now, my mind is preoccupied with thoughts of what I can do for her.
I'm convinced that everything I learned at Atlasdam was all for her sake.
Lord Tytos is graciously allowing me to use the Scarlet Wings' facilities even outside of my work.
I must perfect this elixir as soon as possible to pay him back for his generosity as well.
If I do manage to bring light back to her eyes, I wonder what this world will look like to her?
I'm plenty happy with the way things are right now. If something changes, what then will lie ahead of us?
When I voiced those thoughts to Dmitri and Jurgen, they laughed.
What would happen to me if I were to lose her? Just imagining it sends shivers down my spine.
After speaking to Rinyuu herself about it, she smiled at me gently, told me I'm silly, and gave me a hug.
Yeah. I am being silly. I'm just a man who's content to do nothing but love her, without thinking about anything else.
And that's fine. That's what I mutter to myself as I gaze at her sleeping face, then follow her into the world of dreams.
