RUNLIMIT ~CASE 2~ [ENGLISH]

Once again it took me quite a while to finish this translation but here it is. I need to say that Taki is really sweet and I liked his volume a lot. Oh, and also, please try to pay no mind to my weird grammar.

RUNLIMIT ~CASE 6~

[CV: Kaji Yuuki]

Track 01 – Past memories

If I had my wish come true. One only. I’d like to see you again, even if just once more.

*bells*

What are you reading? Ah, a book about constellations? Eeh, is pretty interesting since it also includes myths. Me? I’m reading “The frog prince”. It’s a fairy tale. The title doesn’t ring a bell? You got to be kidding, it’s very well known. If it’s okay with you I can read it to you. Sure! Hold this book. It’s okay. This way I can read it from my position.

[01:01] Once upon a time in some kingdom lived a beautiful princess. One day the princess went to the forest near the palace. She played throwing in the air a golden ball at the side of the pond. However, the ball fell into the pond when she used too much force by mistake. The princess cried and cried filled with sadness.

Then a frog appeared before the princess and said: “Why are you crying so much?”

“You see Mister Frog, my golden ball fell into the pond”

“If you take me as your friend, have dinner with me and allow me to sleep on your bed I’ll go fetch it for you”

Hehe. You dislike frogs? If you were in the princess place what would you do? You’d have to eat with the frog and share the same bed. Yeah, the frog might be really unpleasant to look at, but is actually a prince. Ahahaha. You’re very honest; it shows on your face. On the contrary, if you were turned into a frog and you told me to eat and sleep together I’d gladly fulfill your request. Because you’d still be you on the inside so it’s okay. What’s more, I’d probably feel the urge to protect you since you’d be so tiny.

[02:53] Eh? It’s not about our social standing. Well, it might be burnt into my body the duty I was given since I was little to protect you. You are on the side of the masters and on my side we’ve been servants for generations, that won’t change. Yet, it has nothing to do with it. If you became so tiny it would be dangerous and preoccupying, right? Ah, right, we should continue. Where was I? The scene where the princess is about to answer, right? Let’s see…

“Sure, let’s make a promise”, said the princess…

*bells*

Here comes a scene I particularly like.

“Princess, I have one last request. I beg you to kiss me”, said the frog shortening the distance between him and the princess…

Eh? What’s wrong? Oh, she’s fallen asleep. Precisely at the best part. I wanted her to listen to the very end. Well, it can’t be helped. Hehe. She’s sound asleep. Her sleeping face is so cute. *yawns* This is bliss. I wish I could feel this warmth forever and stay together forever.

Track 02 – The storm that came out of nowhere

Gh… it hurts… I can’t move. Is it because I went berserk yesterday? *sighs* I hate tranquilizers.

I’ve been lock in this institution for five years. At night my cells get out of control, if I left the institution I’d destroy everything I found in my way. I’d freeze it all in a frenzy. By the time I recover consciousness I’ve been sedated and put back here.

How many people did I attack yesterday? Did I go berserk in the room? It was a quite impressive one…

[01:33] My beloved book. It’s a relief is intact. It’s the only think I must take care of no matter what. Even though I couldn’t make her listen to the story till the end. I wonder what she’s doing now? Fufufu, even if we met she doesn’t remember a thing about me. I won’t be able to tell her the story till the end. *sigh* Those were happy times.

[02:38] Year 2045. The world has reached the era of human enhancement. The Japanese government decided to create humans with no need to neither rest nor sleep. The name of the experiment is: Runlimit. The civilians chosen as subjects are injected with a unique substance developed by the government. Nevertheless, the substance wasn’t compatible with the human cells. The experiment failed. The subjects suffered after effects on their bodies: flaws. Among them, I, Taki Ikuto, acquired the quality called “frostbite”. I can freeze everything around me. I’ve become that kind of monster. The reason for which I was chosen for the so called worst experiment in history is…

15,620 hours left for the Rulimit experiment to conclude.

¿15,620 hours? If there’s 8,760 hours within a year, then 15,620 hours are not even two years. How…? Until recently I had two years and a half left. Why? No! I get it. I’ve been going berserk frequently. If this continues to worsen I’ll reach my time limit soon.

[04:59] Because of the experiment the time limit is around the age of 20. I’m still 17, I should have three more years to live. In comparison to Yori-kun and Haru-nii that are already 19, I should be on a lower level. However, we’ve all been given a time limit so in the end we’re all heading towards the same destiny. I wonder what death will be like. What will become of me? Will I go somewhere? I wish I went to a happy place, like heaven or something like that. It would be nice if it was a warm place. But I guess that’s impossible, I’ve attacked so many people, tried to use them as food. I’m a monster. I will certainly go to hell. I wonder if hell will be worse than now. I don’t want to… *knocking* What do you want?

Man: Taki, come with me.

Why?

Man: Today arrived the supervisor in charge of you. We’ll go say hi.

Supervisor?

Man: Just follow me.

[06:49] Man: *to you* Excuse us. This is Taki Ikuto. He’s 17. His flaw is “frostbite”. Level 3. *to Ikuto* Hey you, raise your face and greet her.

*sigh* !!! Why are you here?

Man: What’s the matter? An acquaintance of your?

…No

Man: *to you* Well then, I leave him in your capable hands.

H-hi. Eh? “Nice to meet you”? I see. No, it’s okay.

Why now? To think that I’d meet her again when I had already given up to her. We even made her forget. I wanted my beautiful memories with her to remain untouched. And yet here she is in front of me.

Um… what do they mean by supervisor? We’ll have to stay together at all times? I don’t mind it but I’m a monster. It’s dangerous.

[08:27] That’s right, I’m not the same I was back then. I’m no longer human. I’m no more than a terrifying monster now. Just by being by my side people can get hurt.

You musn’t touch me under any circumstance. Take data? I understand. If it’s solely for research then there’s no helping it. However, I’m a test subject; don’t get involved with me more than is absolutely necessary.

Track 03 – Human ≒monster

*knocking*

Come in. Do you need something? I’m reading. It’s none of your business what I’m reading. If you don’t need anything then leave. Even if you talk about doing research you know very well that nothing occurs during daytime, I just read books as I’m doing now. You don’t need to come see me. I like it, but you don’t need to take note of me enjoying reading. You don’t need to know me. Have you forgotten what I told you of not getting involved with me more than is absolutely necessary?

What do you plan on doing? There are many different books I want to read. A book I like? None in particular. If you want to read then pick one for yourself and take it with you. Which one? Eh? Wait! Not that one! That one is absolutely forbidden. “You caught me”? What do you mean? Stop! Don’t overthink it. Don’t remember. Quit it! Don’t touch my stuff without my permission. Leave.

*you leave the room*

*sigh*

[02:15] I might have overreacted. But this book…

It contains a precious memory of the two of us.

Aaaah…

*Ikuto searches for you*

There she is. You see, a moment ago, I overdid it. That book is forbidden but I’ll lend you this one instead. It’s a book about constellations; it has tons of mythology so it’s interesting. I’m glad. I thought it’d piqued your interest. Back then you also read it enthusiastically. Ah, it’s nothing. Yeah, take it.

No, I’m okay. Do I look pale? Don’t come near me! I told you already! You musn’t touch me under any circumstance! I don’t have a fever. On the contrary, since the forehead is exposed to the air it’s no good to measure the temperature correctly. It’s something I read on a book. Besides, my temperature is different from common people, so there’s no point.

[04:13] Naturally. You know my flaw is “frostbite”, right? No matter how hard I try warming myself up this body can no longer warm up. I’m telling you not to! Don’t touch me! If it’s for research then use a thermometer! No! Not even for an instant! Get away from me. If you come any closer I’ll get really mad! It’s not that I dislike it, it’s for you own sake… ah…

!!! I told you, my hand is cold. Don’t touch me ever again. I’m a monster.

Even though I only felt the warmth from her hand for a brief instant, the sensation still lingers on my cold hand. My chest hurts. I’m not the same kind of creature as her. Her expression of shock when she touched me… I’m sorry, I’m already a monster.

[05:58] I’ll go back to my room. Don’t follow me. Leave me alone.

14,125 hours left for the Runlimit experiment to conclude.

!!! Shoot, it’s time… Ggggh!!! Don’t touch me! I must hurry.

Track 04 – The magic of happiness

Why did you follow me? *panting* That’s right, before I go berserk my temperature always drops at once. Cold, I’m so cold. I’m telling you not to come near me. Leave here at once. Don’t come close. Aaaaaaaahh!!

[01:06] Fufufu. Why didn’t you run? Despite my warnings you’ve followed me here. Ah, you’re cold, poor thing. Should I hug you to keep you warm? But if I did so all of your internal organs would freeze. Hahahaha. Me? Of course I’m cold. I’m so cold I can’t stand it. However, when I go berserk I no longer know how I feel. Could it be I got used to this after so many years? Aaah, it’s terrible that my body got used to something like this. Or will you give me warmth? I miss human warmth. Even though I’d already resign myself to never feel any warmth. It’s because you touched me a moment ago that I’ve come to miss it again. Can I touch your cheek? It looks so warm. I’m sure it’s soft, warm and nice to the touch.

[03:16] Haaa, I knew it. It feels warm against the palm of my hand. So this is how human skin felt like. *sigh* Your cheek’s gone cold. It must be because I touched it. What a shame. I’ll touch some other place. What’s wrong? You dislike being touched by me? Of course you do, I’m a monster after all. What a drag. Hey, let me eat a bit of your body. You know it well, I’m hungry. Since you’re my supervisor you’re aware of the details. Our condition as test subjects implies that when hungry ordinary food doesn’t satisfy us. Due to the medicine developed after shark cells that we were given, when gone berserk we care nothing if they’re humans, we only want to satisfy our hunger so we attack. *breathes in* You smell splendid.  You look so delicious.

[05:17] Wait, are you escaping? You’re afraid of me? What are you doing? Don’t tell me you’re considering to use a sedative? I won’t allow it. You’re mean. I absolutely hate those. I’m weird? Hahaha. What a funny thing to say. Obviously I am since I’m a monster! I don’t have a warm body like yours, I can’t sleep either! Why pointing it out now? Even if I look normal during the day I am not. I’m still a monster. Right now I can’t help the urge to eat you. I wonder if I’d get warm by eating you. Aaah, I can’t resist anymore. Don’t tell me to stop. You knew very well what would happen and yet you followed me. Then why!? Why did you come here!? Why did you appear in front of me!? I had worked so hard to…

[07:23] ‘Cause you want to help me? Hahaha. There’s no need to. Shut up! All the test subjects are destined to die. You won’t be able to help us at this stage, so there’s no need! *sobs* Shut up!! Don’t make me angry. I’m going to put an end to all this. I will make sure that noisy mouth of yours won’t say another word ever again. *tries to attack you but you shot him with the sedative*

*flashback*

Runlimit? It’s the investigation the master is working on, right? They’ll use shark cells on human brains. Ha! They’ll use it on her!? It can’t be! If they do, she…! I oppose too! It’s impossible to know what will happen if they use it! We can’t let them! Ren-kun is to…? Wait! We can’t leave Ren-kun all alone on this!? I will volunteer too instead of her. I want to protect her.

*sobs* I’m cold. Will I be like this from now on? Will I be locked forever? Look! She’s come to see us! She’s crying again. Why? She cries her eyes out every day. Even though I can finally see her the only thing I see is her face wet with tears. *sobs* If it’s going to be like this then as Ren-kun said, it would be better to erase her memories. *sobs* I get it. I’ll feel terribly lonely but if it’s for her well-being, if forgetting all about us can make her happy, then let it be so… *sobs*

*flashback ends*

[11:32] Don’t cry… *sobs* Eh? I’m in my room? Uh, it hurts… Ah, I see. I went berserk again yesterday. That girl! Did I…? What a relief, there she is. But how? Ouch. Right, she shot me with the sedative at the last moment. I’m glad I didn’t hurt you with these hands. Seriously, there you are, asleep with a defenseless expression on your face. How can you sleep in a place like this? By the side of a monster that just yesterday tried to attack you. Don’t you know your place as a supervisor? Why? Why didn’t you escape? Why did you follow? Why did you say you want to help me? Because of you I, I, I might get my hopes up in vain. I’m happy to be able to watch your sleeping face once more.

[14:16] It’s painful. I was certain it was a feeling I had given up long ago. Nevertheless, here I am longing to have more chances to see her sleeping face. Even though I was the one who told her not to get closer to me. Why is it that my chest feels so warm? Is it because of the blanket? Did you put it on me? *sobs* Yeah, I just woke up. My physical condition? My head hurts because of the sedative. Why do you apologize? You’re the supervisor and I’m the test subject that went berserk, it’s only natural. What’s more, I think you should have shot me long before, if you took any longer I would have… Why? How can you say it’s okay? Even now, you’re there peacefully asleep. It’s not about being a nuisance! At least use the blanket. What if you catch a cold? Even if you say so, I remember quite clearly it was you who caught a cold the very next day we napped together on the sofa. One of these days it will cost you your life that “I scarcely catch colds” belief of yours. You should take better care of yourse… !! Ignore what I just said. It’s not true! I got confused. I’ve never had a nap with you. I’m telling you I got confused. Don’t touch me! Don’t come any closer to me. I’m only a monster. Leave me alone. What is it? Eh? You want to ask me something?

[17:28] The medicine you developed is that one over the desk? I see. Is that what you wanted to ask me? I’m not concerned. You said you wanted to ask me something with a mysterious look on your face so I thought it could be something related to me. Ha? It worries you that I dislike you? *sigh* Silly. You should see me as your investigation material only. There you go again, it troubles me that you treat me as a regular human. It’s nothing. I get it. Is this arm okay? Ugh. Is that it? No, it doesn’t hurt and I don’t feel indisposed either. Will it really work? Ah no, I’m not doubting your ability. So long will it take? You see, there’s something I’d like to know. Why did you become a supervisor at this institution? Why getting involved in the Runlimit research? I certainly recall you went to study abroad after all that. Ah, no, I heard it from the other supervisors. Did something happen during your stay abroad? The news? Just because of that? Because you watched the news you thought of helping us? It’s weird. Even when you don’t remember about us why did you feel that way? During these five years of despair it might be that you, on a faraway land, were my only hope, my only strength to continue. When I look at your eyes filled with hope I get the feeling that maybe your medicine can cure me. Yeah, I will also give my best for a little bit longer.

[21:02] Kkkkhh!! Aaaghhh!! I know, it’s supposed to stop the berserk from going onto the next stage. Even like this I still keep my reasoning, it’s progressing my way. I’m not the incredible one but that medicine. It had never happened something like this before. What are you doing? Your touch feels warm but it’s dangerous, make some distance. We don’t know how long it will last the effect of the medicine. Go away now. I get it. But if it becomes dangerous go away immediately. Thanks.

Track 05 – The curse continues

*knock knock*

Come in. What do you need? My physical condition? Without change, same as usual; actually no, I might be better than usual. Yeah. Did you come only to ask me about that? Oh, you’ve read the book I lend you. Astronomical observation? Hehe, you felt like watching the stars after reading a book about constellations? It was that. If it’s about watching the stars do it by yourself, it’s impossible for me to do so. Stars come out at night, right? Nighttime is the most dangerous for me. Since the experiment five years ago I haven’t watched the stars once. I haven’t been on my senses either to do so. Besides I can’t leave the facility. What do you mean? Out of the question! No matter how many times the medicine has worked is unpredictable what may happen next time. Even if until just yesterday everything was alright what will it happen if I start going berserk again… Eh? Permission?

[01:49] I wonder if it’s really alright to go outside. It’s okay? They won’t get mad at you? If you say so… To see Saturn it is better a dark quite place where the light coming from the city won’t get in the way. Oh, watch out! You scared me. Are you okay? Oh, I’m sorry! My hands are cold. I’m sorry I touched you. Don’t you lie to me, I know. Your body temperature is warm to the touch. Come on, let’s hurry. What’s wrong? Eh? Did you hear what I just said? My hand is freezing, quite opposite to yours. So if we held hands… Eh? You’ll give me warmth? Wait! Stop! Why are you being selfish? I keep telling you it’s dangerous to touch me! Mmm… okay, but just for today. Now give me your bag. It looks heavy; I’ll carry it in your stead. It’s fine, let me carry it. Come on.

[03:56] Good. We’ll be able to watch the stars from here. Uh? Ahaha, you brought seats, drinks, sweets and even blankets to put on. Haha, you are well prepared. However, do we need so much bread and sweets? Don’t tell you brought those in case I went berserk and felt hungry? Hahahahaha. There are too many! It’s almost as if we were on an excursion! Hahaha. No wonder your bag was heavy. *sigh* No, I appreciate it. Okay, let’s sit.

[05:24] In the blink of an eye the sun set and the moon is out. Probably the stars will become visible soon. Yeah, the time is coming. The coldness intensifies and my head begins to ache. Ah, but I’m still fine, I feel better than usual. Thanks. It’s warm. I can’t believe I’m watching the night sky like this. Until recently the thought wouldn’t even cross my mid. Even though I’m going berserk and I could get violent at any moment. No, it’s still manageable at this stage. Ah, are you not cold? If it’s okay with you we could both cover up with the blanket… no, it’s best if we don’t. I’m sorry, forget what I just said. I’m so happy to be able to spend a regular night that I got carried away. Oh, wait. Here you go again. Seriously. *sobs* It’s nothing. Don’t look at me. Instead of staring at me you should be staring at the sky… ah, it’s beautiful. Look, there are so many stars. I can’t believe the beauty of the stars… it’s as if the tiny sparks could fall down at any time. Magic? It might be. I’m probably under the influence of a happiness spell right now. Despite having a long and terrifying curse casted upon me I’ve been released from it this moment and filled with a great joy. It’s really amazing how gorgeous the night sky is. I’ve spend so many nights at the facility but I was never able to look at the stars as I’m doing now. Aaah, I should have brought a camera with me. I wanted a picture so I could watch this starry sky at any time. Haaa, though I believe a regular camera wouldn’t take a good picture in this place. Eh? Yeah, I wonder if we’ll be able to watch them together again. If the medicine continues to work I’ll be able to watch the starry sky with you. Hehehe, I’m happy. Let’s make a promise. Let’s watch the stars again just the two of us.

Track 06 – Falling

Oh, good morning. It’s almost noon though. Did you oversleep? I guess it was to be expected considering you stayed awake last night. It’s okay. If I didn’t suffer from this condition I’d probably be asleep now. Despite the raptures are under control now I’m still unable to sleep. Yeah, well, I do feel I want to sleep but no matter what I do my brain remains active. It is a great improvement not going berserk though. Yeah, I’d like it too, sleep normally. Okay, I’m going to the dinner room. It’s lunch time. Yeah, see you later. Ghaahhhh… Why? Gaaaahhhhh… it’s dangerous, stay away. Aaaaaaah!!

[01:42] Man: Get inside. *addressing you* Stay away from the subject. You’ve seen it, right? This moment the brain of the test subject is most unstable.

Why!?

Man: Because of Runlimit the brain went through a transformation, by taking continuously the new medicine developed to restore the cells to their original estate it opposes Runlimit.

Is there something the matter with that!? Thanks to this medicine I’ve been free of violent raptures up until now.

Man: Because of the new medicine the modified brain is in process to go back to normality, in other words, this in-between condition is the most dangerous. Anything could happen; it might even be that your time limit shortens.

You’re lying! Until yesterday I was getting better steadily!

Man: The reality is that you are going berserk on daylight.

That’s…

Man: Until now all of the medicines tried on the test subjects were incompatible and all of them died. Your case has no precedents and the risk is too high. We’ll collect data for some time.

Data…

Man: Well, if the raptures continue your time limit might run out, or maybe your body won’t endure.

That’s!!

Man: *addressing you* Very well, you will continue in charge of Taki Ikuto observation. However, it is absolutely forbidden for him to go out.

!!

Man: *addressing you* It’s also forbidden going back to his room. Taki Ikuto must remain in the research laboratory at all times. Understood?

That’s…

Man: *addressing you* It is an order. If you are to disobey you will be asked to abandon the facilities. Do you understand you duties?

Khh… Why are you apologizing? It’s okay, probably it will be only temporal. The medicine will work soon and we’ll be able to go out together. Don’t cry. I’m hungry; I was on my way to have lunch. Could you fetch something for me? Anything is fine. Actually, I’d like something sweet for dessert. Strawberry daifuku for instance. I like those. Thanks.

[04:49] It was impossible after all.

4,390 hours left for the Runlimit experiment to conclude.

I thought maybe… khhh… it can’t be, I just had one… khhh… No, I don’t… Damn… Gaaaaaah…!!

Track 07 – Into the future

Are you busy? Yeah, I’m feeling well. I can stand up at least for a little while. I’m more worried about you, actually. You’re not getting enough sleep, right? That’s not good, you should rest. You might say so but your physical condition will soon be affected. I’m sorry, it’s my fault. You’re so kind. Thanks. You see, I want to ask you a favor, can I?

[00:57] Are you confortable? Won’t you fall off the bed? I wanted to read you this book no matter what. It’s the book that caught your attention in my room when you arrived. I’ve caused you many inconveniences all this time and you’ve done so much for me. This is my thanks to you. It’s okay, I want to do it. It might be the last time. The favor I’m asking is that you let me thank you. I’m reading it now. Pay attention.

Once upon a time in some kingdom lived a beautiful princess. One day the princess went to the forest near the palace. She played throwing in the air a golden ball at the side of the pond. However, the ball fell into the pond when she used too much force by mistake.

*Flashback*

The princess cried and cried filled with sadness.

Then a frog appeared before the princess and said: “Why are you crying so much?”

“You see Mister Frog, my golden ball fell into the pond”

“If you take me as your friend, have dinner with me and allow me to sleep on your bed I’ll go fetch it for you”

*Flashback ends*

“Certainly, I promise”, said the princess and therefore the frog jumped into the pond with a great splash. Then he recovered the golden ball and the princess received it happily.

*Flashback*

On the contrary, if you were turned into a frog and you told me to eat and sleep together I’d gladly fulfill your request.

*Flashback ends*

“Princess, I’ve got one last request. I beg you to kiss me”, after saying this, the frog approached to the princess and puckered his green lips. As soon as she kissed him, the frog in front of her eyes turned into a beautiful prince. Soon after they bewedded and lived happily ever after.

What’s wrong? Why are you crying? You remembered… No, I am sorry. It had occurred to me that by reading this you’d remember everything. Even so, I wanted you to listen to the story no matter what. I was lying when I said I wanted to thank you, it was a whim of mine. I’m really sorry. You’re wrong! You’ve done nothing wrong! Your memory was erased without asking you.

[05:02] Five years ago the government asked your father, who was a researcher, to develop that medicine. He then chose his own daughter as the first test subject for Runlimit. The optimal condition for the test subjects was: not having reached adulthood and possess a healthy body yet to grow up. In other words, they should be children. Of course we were not going to allow them to make you go through something so dangerous. When we heard his plans we begged him not to do it but he wouldn’t listen. He insisted he had to since it might become the hope of humanity. That’s why before the inevitable menace you were under we offered ourselves in your stead. We wanted to protect you. Back then you had the same expression you have now. After hearing what happened to us you came to visit every day. But seeing us turned into monsters cause you to drown in tears. It hurted to see your face wet with tear; that’s why I didn’t oppose when Ren-kun made the proposal. With the aid of Yori-kun’s “hypnosis”, his power for manipulate conscience, we erased your memories. Don’t blame yourself. On the contrary, forgive me for not being able to protect you to the very end. Since the other day’s rapture I’ve realize I’ll soon reach my limit.

[07:23] See, the alarm has gone off. I must be over my time limit now. I have not strength left. *he drops the book* *sigh* I’m relieved. I always wondered how painful would it be to die, but right now I’m just very sleepy and comfy.  To me it is enough to know you are still alive. Back then I wanted to protect you so I offered myself in your stead. I, since always, have been in love with you. I’m glad I could finally tell you.  My curse didn’t break, however, meeting you again, hugging you, and making new memories made me really happy.  I’m even able to tell you I love you. I’m not cold anymore. It’s because you’re here with me I feel so warm. I’ve got no more regrets. Thanks for crying for me.

[10:27] Where am I? It feels so warm. I wonder if I went to heaven in spite of all the people I caused trouble to. Maybe God felt pity for me. Yet, I wanted to keep protecting her. The last thing I saw was her sad countenance. *sigh* God, I beg you, allow me to meet her again, even if only a dream. I want to feel her warmth once more. I beg you.

Eh? You… is this a dream? Did God hear my prayers? Ouch. It hurts! Then, this is no dream? I’m okay, have I been sleeping long? A week? Why? I was under sedatives? But, wait, my wrist, it feels strange. The bangle is gone! Why!? My time limit… I don’t have one, you say? Is my curse broken? For real?

[13:20] Then I was told everything. The new medicine she developed defeated Runlimit. Sleeping for so long was a reaction of my brain after returning to its original state. There’s no need to say I was saved by the medicine she created. Because she didn’t give up during the time my condition was unstable and continued to shot me with the medicine.

I’m sorry. Come a bit closer. I’m sorry; I needed to make sure you’re really here. Your warmth tells me you are here. I can finally hug you properly. I’m at last a normal human being. Can you tell? Your body is warm but my body is too. *sobs* I’m glad I’m still alive. We can read books and watch the stars again. *sobs* I’m happy. I’m too happy. Thanks. You released me from my curse. I thank you sincerely. From now on I’ll be by your side protecting you. I will always protect you. Remember? At the end of the story the prince married the princess that released him of his curse and swore his eternal love to her. I’ll make an oath too. I’ll become a prince and will always protect you. I love you throughout eternity.
