Fortuna:  Shaking her head to the kneeling Archi, Fortuna slowly went down on one knee before Emilia. "Emilia, listen carefully. Mom has a duty to protect everyone. It’s very important. That’s why I’ll be away, just for a tiny bit."

Emilia:  "N…no, Mom. I—I…!"

Fortuna:  "Please. Do as I say, just for a little while. I want you to go with Archi and head outside the forest. This forest…is really dangerous, so please." Fortuna spoke to Emilia, who shook her head with teary eyes, then looked back to Archi.

Archi:  Seeing the resolve resting in those violet eyes, Archi felt his slender body stiffen. "L-Lady Fortuna… I—!"

Fortuna:  "Archi…it is a little soon, but I entrust the duty of Guardian to you. Please take Emilia with you out of the forest. It is a difficult world to live in, but surely, there is hope. I know there is. So…"

Fortuna:  "Take care of Emilia. For my brother, my sister-in-law, and me, she’s our precious, irreplaceable daughter." Fortuna spoke in a frail, fleeting voice, so removed from her usual strong and sublime self.

Archi:  Hearing Fortuna, both as a mother and as a woman, brought Archi to tears. He sobbed, covering his face with both hands. "That’s low…! You know that if you say it that way, there’s no way I can refuse… I—I want to fight with everyone, too…! Yet…!"

Fortuna:  "I’m sorry, forcing so many burdens onto you children like this. Forgive us for being so unfair." Placing a hand on the crying young man’s shoulder, Fortuna painfully asked for his forgiveness.

Fortuna:  "You’re not alone at all. Listen to me." Weeping and wailing, Emilia covered her ears, trying to block out her mother’s parting words.

She grabbed Emilia’s arms, though the girl was desperately trying to cover her own ears, and nestled her head in her daughter’s silver hair. Then she brought their faces close, rubbing cheek to cheek with a gentle touch, as if she was taking care to not damage a thing more precious than anything else in all of existence. "Mom is always by your side. When you close your eyes, I’ll be there, inside your memories. When you hug yourself, I’ll be the warmth inside your chest.
