四十四 (Voice Post, Japanese)

Basically, waiting for this illness to "fade" has only proved impossible. Either the affected wind up dying, or the ones who don't have the strength to fight them.

I have no interest in pointing fingers... What I'd like to know instead is why there doesn't seem to be a better solution. Is there no way to develop a medicine to cure or a seal to bind these people?

Their powers and strength are the real problem. Because they can only use it to harm. It is beyond their control to do otherwise. I haven't been proven wrong yet.

Hmph. If anyone sees death as the quickest method of turning this around... You've let this world change you too much. ...You've let them change you too much.

[He let out a slow breath, not minding how those fingers were being handled by the other. He leaned forward, and puckered his own lips slightly to gently kiss Testament's fingertips back.

It was mysterious what a calming effect the Gear had on his troubled mind sometimes.]

Thank you...

Part of love is giving each other strength when we are at our weakest, Haruka...

-He lets out something of a laugh- Or so I've been told.

[He'll never get over how Testament can just say things like that with a straight face. It always manages to give him a bit of color.]

I... guess there's still a lot that I have to learn.

[His lips parted, as if he had something more to say... but then Haruka just as quickly gave up, letting out a soft and short chuckle.]

You're right.

[He hesitated for a second. Then he leaned forward and kissed Testament softly on the lips. It lingered there a little longer than he hoped for, but he eventually drew back.]

I'll... escort you back down.

mmm..

-He let out a pleased, almost longing sound at the touch of Haruka's kiss. It still felt so exhilarating to him. He could feel his knees grow weak each time...-

Very well... perhaps you can visit Bridget while you're here.
