			            What do you mean whose? It's her fortune to be alive. *He sighs and looks up* Everyone seems to be pairing Kaiori-san up for her...... that's exactly why I don't call myself her lover nor her mine. I'll admit that I do have feelings for her..... but that's all the more reason that I don't claim her. Having feelings for someone is only half of true love.... I realize that now. The other half is, basically, understanding. Kaiori-san is a free soul..... she doesn't deserve to be bound to some manipulative, envious coward...... or myself....

			            *sighs* I suppose so. I just don't want her to feel like everyone's trying to manipulate her. There are people who just want to be a friend..... some of them just don't know that they're using her. *He looks back to Terr* I truly am sorry for your loss...... I won't say I don't know how it feels. Kaiori-san will not be taken like some trophy case prize. She'll go where she wishes to go.

 "It's self sustaining as long as it is attached to whatever would provide it energy. I know it seems crude, but it will most likely help out enough until you heal more."
