I've never forgotten you, Xephos. Your memory sticks to me wherever I go. All this time, and I can't seem to shake it off... though it would make things easier for me.

Don't get me wrong. I still love you as much as I did then and it's only grown stronger. It's just I can't seem to take it anymore. So many years and I've not been able to find anyone as wonderful as you. I smile as you told me but things are too different. I'm sorry but I've decided to sleep... sleep forever.

In this future, people willingly close their eyes and never wake up. There are many reasons but mine is so I'm not tortured by you anymore. I loved you so much. I thought I could live without you and be happy reminiscing but I can't. I'm so sorry. This is not what we wanted. This is not what you wanted.

Forgive me. Please forgive me. I can't live forever. I don't want to live forever. Not like this. When I close my eyes for the last time, It will be best for us both. We'll both be at peace. No pain. No loneliness. Just sweet dreams forever.

I'm sorry, Xephos. I really am, but this is my last goodbye. This is the very end.
