“
You've done your best, Izumi-san. Good boy, great job... It must've been so tough, and so painful.
But you can take it easy now. This time, I'll protect you just as much as you've protected me.
I might still have a bunch of things to work on, but thanks to your tough training...I've gotten a little stronger.
So instead of embracing me, embrace the little kid who's even now still crying within you.
That child who, under all those beautiful folds of clothing, is still scared and shaking.
Give him love. You act like you're a blade that only hurts the people around you, but in fact...
You're someone who can protect others with your whole heart -- someone who can truly love. After all, I know that better than anyone.
