"Strange... to begin with, all I ever intended... was to use Priscilla to bring everything under my control, and yet... somewhere during that time, watching Raki mature with Priscilla by his side... I actually found myself becoming contented with nothing more than the bare minimum of meals... I don't want to die... Even if that makeshift family... was all nothing more than an illusion, doomed to fall apart someday... I really wish... really wish it could have lasted even the tiniest bit longer..."
