Aiko: “If we see shooting stars what would you wish for Punpun?”
Punpun: “Wishing upon shooting stars doesn’t make it come true.”
Aiko: “Right, but what if. What would you wish for if they did?”

love is lonely
only
when you're in it alone
passion is love
that can't be controlled
who doesn't love Love?
who doesn't Love, love?
in its truest form
it has no form
(or formula)
it doesn't make sense
it just transmits
and that's
just it

Als ik jou was, zou ik ze van alles op de mouw spelden. Ik zou zeggen dat je je zus gearmd hebt gezien met een man in een cape, of dat je een plukje haar op een van haar handschoenen hebt gevonden dat eruitzag alsof het van de vacht van een olifant afkomstig was... Mensen verwachten de waarheid hier niet... En die willen ze ook niet horen. Veel mensen hier rekenen er niet op dat ze de wens hier zullen winnen; ze zijn hier voor een avontuur. - Aiko

I think I am right

Aiko strolled down the cobbled street as if the world could crumble around her and she’d just keep going. Scarlett wanted to feel like that, but the game seemed to be constantly working against her, and she imagined it was easy for Aiko, since she was only observing. No one had stolen her sister, or the color from her world.

Él pensó... que todo sería más sencillo si pudiera desaparecer en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.
Las estrellas fugaces... no dejaban de caer... una tras otra.
No se sentía triste ni feliz. Solo estaba cansado.
Ya no estaban Aiko-chan ni Dios. Así que él pensaba... en cerrar el ojo que le quedaba... y dormir sin que le importara el mañana.
Buenas noches... "Punpun".
Pero no permití que lo hiciera. Tal vez fue por mi egoísmo.
Mientras Punpun siga sufriendo, yo seré fuerte. No permitiré que vuelva a huir de mí. Por esa razón...
Tú... eres mío.

I promise you, I won’t let even a hair on her head be harmed. After all, she’s my ang— Er, my everything.” Templar Knights Vice Commander, Chase Domino: “I’m prepared to give my all for Aiko-san. Hell, I’d even throw away my faith for her if I had to. So don’t worry, we’ll keep her safe.” Imperial Guard Joshua Augus: “Meeting Aiko-chan must have been fate. How could I possibly let my fated partner die?” Imperial Guard Jade Hatto: “I swear on my life that I will keep her safe. Not as a member of the Imperial Guard, but as a man.
