"Although... she didn't recognize me at that time, even if I stood right in front of her, she might not have recognized me; furthermore... I owe her your life, I have no face to introduce myself. But I thought, I must find her, I must see her well, I must—replace you, quietly guarding her by her side."
"In her heart, you are a symbol of justice, her guardian angel. But you are gone, and her faith has collapsed, then she would no longer be herself, so someone must become like you, guarding her as you once did, only then can she find her true self again."
"So, I shamelessly continued to live. And with a thick skin, step by step, returned to her side, step by step, let her regain her love for me... Old man, I know I am truly a shameless scoundrel. I should have gone to your tombstone to commit suicide as an apology, yet instead, I ask you for the most precious treasure."
