He never imagined he would meet someone like you. Someone who so utterly resembles the first story he ever wrote that it's almost frightening. That's why he's fighting so hard and cares so deeply - for you are the first fragment of his imagination and the very last piece of this puzzle.

You are free of me, free of the burdens I placed upon you, free of the memories that we created together - free to be happy, as none other deserves to be.
