One hand reached up to grab the Crest that hung at his throat, that symbol of his belief in the worth of love and of his feelings for Roze. Part of him said that he should have expected this, that everyone he loves vanishes sooner or later. His mother, Vergil, those few ordinary people he'd come to care about during his days as a common mercenary. All had died and left him behind. Why would Roze stay?
But another, stronger part of him said that it was worth it. Loss happened, but pushing people away because of it was a sure road to misery. Broken hearts might never heal completely, but the pain faded over time, while loneliness only got worse. It didn't stop the tears that came to his eyes, but it kept him stable.
"Yeah, she'd...she'd be pissed if she got somethin' for everyone and it all fell apart."

"What about you two? Will you be alright?"
