Teito: They say that when the Chief of Heaven gives humans life, he gives them the chance to make three wishes. Three wishes that they are willing to exchange their lives for. I’d never thought of having dreams. I believed I had no choice but to follow the path the military had laid out for me. 07-Ghost Drama CD: Michael.
Teito: [Opens the door] Mikage! How are you feeling?
Mikage: Teito! I’m feeling great, hehehe.
Teito: Thank god! [Closes the door] I was so worried!
Mikage: Sorry! The bishops have taken great care of me. I’m all good now.
Teito: What are all these gifts by your bed?
Mikage: Got ‘em from the sisters! And, look, Frau even gave me this!
[Oh yeah!]
Teito: Ugh! Porn!
Mikage: He said it’s a must-have for all men.
Teito: Damn that freak! I knew I should’ve been the one taking care of you.
Mikage: Hehe. Were you feeling lonely without me? [Pats Teito’s head] Haha!
Teito: No? Don’t get any wrong ideas! [Swats Mikage’s hand away] Huh? Your hand is… so cold.

Frau: So we really can’t save him?
Labrador: No. Mikage will die soon. And only half of him is with us right now. I’m sorry. We could try, but given past cases…
Frau: Ugh. I’ve never seen someone with half a soul before. How the hell did that even happen?
Teito: (Help! Someone please help Mikage! He’s my friend!)
Frau: (Something’s up. Weird things have been popping up left and right ever since that brat appeared.)
Frau: So we for sure can’t do anything to save him?
Castor: No, Labrador’s prophecies are absolute. I’d like to make sure Teito gets enough time to say his farewells.
Labrador: Someone will come for Teito soon, hoping to destroy his world.
Castor: Are you referring to Mikage?
Labrador: It’s someone else.
Frau: Ugh. Well, you know these subjects are bit too complex for little old me, but if need be I’ll just skip mass and-
Archbishop: Cooking up evil schemes again, are we?
Frau: Agh!
Archbishop: Listen up. You absolutely cannot miss today’s mass.
Frau: Stupid old fart…
Archbishop: Put your cap on! We’re holding our annual baptism today. Don’t you dare make a fool out of yourself in there.
Frau: Ugh, I get it, geezer.
Archbishop: Call me by my title! [Smacks Frau]
Frau: Ugh!
Castor: I’m observing Teito and his friend. Don’t worry.

Mikage: Dang! What a huge greenhouse. I didn’t know churches had these.
Teito: Yep! Oh, and you can eat this flower!
Mikage: Man, you’ve become a full-on church resident already. [Sighs] You look well. I’m really glad.
Teito: Heh. How did you know I was here?
[Castor’s doll makes a sound]
Mikage: (From a distance) Don’t be silly. You can’t just crash your Hawkzile into district seven and not expect me to start my search here.
Teito: Sorry. The people of the church are so nice to me. I haven’t told them anything about myself, but they’re letting me hide here. Ah! But the guy that gave you porn is bad news!
Mikage: Really?
Teito: He’s huge and he looks like a creep. Why would a guy like that become a bishop anyway?! But he does say some nice things sometimes… But no! I’m just not okay with someone like that!
Mikage: Teito?
Teito: Ah, sorry. I’ve been talking too much.
Mikage: Well, that’s why I’m here! You can tell me anything and everything you want.
Teito: Okay… (I told him about everything I’d remembered so far. The fact that I was from the Raggs Kingdom that the empire destroyed... That a Father took care of me as a kid, and that he also got killed by the empire... Mikage listened to everything I said without saying anything. It made me so happy. But there was still a weird pain in my heart.) …And that’s it. I know it’s weird that a slave like me is saying all this. Must be hard to believe. Sorry.
Mikage: I believe you.
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: I mean, you’ve always had some sort of nobility to you, or, like, a stuck-up attitude. It was a headache keeping up with you! I kept thinking “Man, is this dude a prince or something?” So I get it. You couldn’t befriend anyone but me like that. I was worried.
Teito: Gee, thanks.
Mikage: When the Raggs war ended, I was only 5 years old.
---
Kairen: Hahaha! We did it! We did it!
Mikage: What are you so happy about, dad?
Kairen: Huh? We won the war! We’ve beaten our enemies!
Mikage: Enemies? Uhh… (Why is he happy that we’ve killed people?)
---
Mikage: I was born in the country that destroyed yours, so I may not have the right to say this, but I’m glad you’re still carrying your parents’ love in your heart. Teito Klein, you’ve never been alone a day in your life.
Teito: Heh… (I’ve only been here in the church for a couple of days, but our days back in the military academy feel so far away.)
Mikage: So, what do you want to do?
Teito: I- Ugh! Aghhh! Ah! [Falls on his knees]
Mikage: Teito?
---
[Jingles]
Krom: Teito.
Teito: Dad?
Krom: I’ll only tell you this once, so please listen well. [Takes out the Eye of Michael] The Eye of Michael carries all of Raggs’ history. Teito, you must carry our legacy on. That is your mission.
---
Teito: Ugh… My mission… is to… learn the history of Raggs. Agh!
Mikage: Teito! Are you okay?
Teito: Mikage, I’m so sorry. I know you’re here to take me back to the military, but I can’t go.
Mikage: Oh. Hm. Can you stand up, Teito? [Helps Teito get up]
Teito: Thanks.
Mikage: (He looks so much better than he did when we were at the academy.) I’ve got it. You’re putting your life on the line for this, right? In that case, you’d better see it through!
Ayanami: (Is that your answer?)
Mikage: Agh!
Teito: But will you be okay, Mikage?
Mikage: Ah… Teito, listen to what I’m about to say very carefully. [Grabs Teito] Listen as long as my voice is still able to reach you.
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: First off, don’t turn the military into your enemy. You won’t gain anything by taking revenge. Killing someone you hate won’t help you in any way. Always face forward. Walk the path of light. Second, I know you can’t bring yourself to accept help or to open up to people, but you’re the best friend I’ve ever had! I’ll always pray for your happiness. I’ll always be by your side. Don’t ever forget that.
Teito: M-Mikage? Why are you telling me all this?
Mikage: Heh. Well, I’m in a bit of a jam. I can’t return to the military either.
Teito: Oh! Then-
Mikage: I have one final request. Kill me, Teito.

Hyuuga: You were with Teito Klein when he ran away, right?
Mikage: How many times do I have to tell you this, Major Hyuuga? He was holding me hostage. Torture me all you want, but I’ve got nothing to tell you!
Hyuuga: Oh? Is this a photo of your family? You have such a cute little sister.
Mikage: Huh?
Hyuuga: On your application form, you said you wanted to join the military for your family. I was so moved when I read that. You’d make a fine soldier. So let us give you a choice. Your family or Teito?
Mikage: That’s such a…
Hyuuga: Right, Aya?
Ayanami: [Walks over] Bring either him or your family to me.
Mikage: [Gasps]
Ayanami: I’ll put a mark on you so that you can’t run away. Think carefully. If you can’t choose either, you will die.
---
Teito: What are you talking about? Like hell I can kill you!
Mikage: [Gasps] Then… run away! I can’t hold him back anymore!
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: It’s… not me, but… someone is after you! Ugh! Dammit! I couldn’t just sell you out! You’re like family to me!
Teito: [Runs towards Mikage] What’s going on?! I can’t just leave you here!
Mikage: [Pushes Teito away] Ugh!
Teito: Agh!
Mikage: What are you doing? Just go off on your own! (I’m so scared, Teito. Don’t leave me.)
Teito: Mikage…
Mikage: Ever since I met you, I’ve always felt so happy and warm. (Don’t let my family die.) Go away before I hurt you!
Teito: [Gasps] Has the military done something to you?
Mikage: I love you, Teito. Farewell. / I won’t let you run away, Teito. You’ll be coming back with me. [Attacks Teito with his Zaiphon]
[Castor’s doll shields Teito from the attack]
Aya!Mikage: Oh? Looks like someone here likes making ugly dolls.
Teito: [Gasps] No, that’s… not Mikage!
Aya!Mikage: [Attacks Teito]
Teito: [Gasps] [Runs away] (Was someone from the military hiding within Mikage?! How?! How could they even do that?!) Agh! [Keeps running] (I’ve got to go outside, or else the people of the church will get dragged into this! Goddammit! How could they do this to my best friend?! Mikage! What should I do?!) It’s a dead end. Wait, no, there’s a door.
Person: Oh? Hey kid! That place is off limits!
Teito: Agh! [Kicks the door open]
Person: Woaaaah!
Teito: [Gasps for breath] Have I lost him? Huh?
Aya!Mikage: This game of tag is over, Teito Klein.
