nikkari aoe to ishikirimaru:
i wish i could tell you
i love you.
i'm sorry.
you don't need it.
you shouldn't accept it.
i want to give it to you.
you should be among them.
they love you better than i ever could.
look how i've tainted you already.
you're stained with me.
infectious.
aren't you meant to ward off things like me?
purify, cleanse.
yet here i am.
together for all these years,
too close, too far.
i share my smile with you.
i'm telling you i love you.
i'm sorry that it hurts.
i used to be like you.
not anymore.
diminished.
i wish i could tell you i love you.
but for now,
come, i'll take care of you.
