⌜ Scene: Balcony ⌟
ー The door opens, a bloody Ryuuto appearing. ー
Yui: …!
( Blood… )
Oh my… Ryuuto, you almost made me worry, running off last second like that.
I was hoping you could join me for a drink, tonight. In celebration of my return. Although... Seeing you so very bloody… Fufu.
Grab a glass, and tell me just what you have been up to, won’t you? I’m very curious.
Ryuuto: I would be honoured, thank you.
ー He comes over. ー
Allow me…
ー He pours her a drink. ー
Yui: Fufu…
( … … )
ー Cordelia and Ryuuto clink glasses, and drink. ー
I had no doubts you would bring me back. Even if those others tried to stop you, I had faith you and Richter would do whatever it took, for me.
Speaking of those others… That bloody scent, it’s so very familiar.
Do go on, Ryuuto. I can’t help but feel it’s somehow related, after all.
Ryuuto: I hope it’s no disappointment to hear, but it is not the blood belonging to those triplets, if that’s what you were hoping for…
Nor, those other women’s sons.
Yui: Then, just who else does that leave?
Ryuuto: Why don’t you have a taste for yourself and see?
ー Cordelia approaches Ryuuto, and takes some on her finger. ー
Yui: The scent… I almost can’t place it. Although…
Don’t tell me it’s Richter?
ー She tastes it… Suddenly she drops her glass. ー
Kc…!!
There’s no mistaking it!! It’s… K-Karlheinz’!?
D-Does this mean…
Ryuuto: I wish I could tell you not to worry… But I’m afraid he did, indeed, die a slow and painful death. He deserved nothing less, after all.
Yui: You! I-I’m going to…
Throw up!?
Ryuuto: From the shock? Or, perhaps…
That would be the resurrection potion I slipped into your glass.
Yui: R-Resurr… Resurrection potion!?
( Ryuuto-san… you mean…!? )
Ryuuto: It was just perfect you happened to have this celebration tonight; I didn’t know how I was going to get you to drink that potion.
This was my only shot at resurrecting Yui.
Yui: ( Me…? )
That p-potion… is the one that Beatrix’s boy made!?
Ryuuto: Indeed. The only bottle of it he had, I hear.
Yui: “Only bottle”…? I-I have no way… no way to…
Ryuuto: With that as the only bottle, I had Reiji destroy his notes. You won’t be able to resurrect him. Karlheinz is dead.
And will remain so, for good.
Yui: Ts…!!
Ryuuto: …Cordelia.
There is nothing left for you here. I’ve grown sick of your stench… Corrupting Yui’s body, corrupting her soul… Corrupting me.
…I finally found somewhere I belong, with her. And, I will be damned if I stand aside and watch, once again, what is important to me perish.
Yui: H-How dare you… you speak to me th-that way…!!
ー She seems unstable on her feet. ー
Ryuuto: Thank you for leading me right to Karlheinz, Mother…
He only had you to blame for exposing his whereabouts, all because you couldn’t resist trying to find him. To crawl back to him…
Fufu… You know, I never thought of you as this pitiful before, pining for his affection.
Yui: Gr…!!
Ryuuto: Cordelia. Make this easier on the two of us, won’t you? If you want a merciful death, one far more so than his…
Let go.
Yui: …
… …
ー She collapses. ー
…Ryuu…
Ryuuto…san…
Ryuuto: …!
Yui…!?
ー As she stands, Ryuuto embraces her. ー
Yui: She’s…
Gone… Cordelia is gone, I can’t feel her anymore!
Ryuuto: …It was truly that simple, then.
She was always hopelessly in love with that guy… Her heart, it had already settled on Him long ago.
In a way, this was a blessing in disguise.
Alongside tricking her into taking that potion, I figured killing him once and for all would give you enough of a window to break free.
Yui: To be with you again, Ryuuto-san… I’m so relieved.
It’s… embarrassing to say, but you’re all I need.
Ryuuto: You took the words right out of my mouth.
Yui: I knew you would save me… You said so yourself, after all, and I accepted that; I accepted you as my saviour.
Ryuuto: I suppose I did, didn’t I?
… …
ー Yui wipes away Ryuuto’s tears. ー
Yui: You’re… Ryuuto-san, what’s the matter? You’re crying…
Ryuuto: …These are happy tears, can’t you tell? I thought you would have understood your Master well enough by know to tell sadness from happiness…
After all, how could I be upset, when you’re by my side?
Yui: Saying goodbye to that woman… even if she was terrible, she was your mother…
Say, what about Richter? Are… you going to kill him too?
Ryuuto: Perhaps it would be more merciful to do so…
With what sort of a man he is… I cannot stand the thought of sharing another woman with him, not again. That’s not the life I want for myself…
I want to be greedy… For you to be mine alone.
Yui: I am yours, Ryuuto-san.
Just like I vowed at that alter.
Ryuuto: …Fufu, of course.
ー They kiss. ー
Yui: Forever, and ever…
I promise to remain by your side, and to love you, even long after I die.
Ryuuto: That won’t happen… I won’t allow you to die; You’ve already begun to change, to become a vampire, since Cordelia took hold of your body.
Can’t you feel it? That thirst?
Yui: You’re right…
Ryuuto: So, insteadーー
Promise to remain by my side, and to love me… until even the stars all burn away, and until there’s nothing in this universe left but us.
And I’ll promise the same.
Yui: I promise. Forever…
