"I- I know... but the thing is, It was pure chance. Without Ferdinand's help, I doubt she ever would love me... Even then... everyone I know, everyone I meet die, turn, or shatter... My friends, my family, my foolish crushes... why does everything fall apart..."
The city around him seems to collect itself, repair itself.
"I don't stand a chance..." he muttered.
Diane shrugged, "You can know him again. Look for your memories. 'All that is lost in darkness can be found in light.' Look in yourself, because nothing is ever truly forgotten."
