And finally know this, Lucrezia. My death frees you of all bonds to the past. Dearest soul, live. Live today, live for the days to come. Forgive Rodrigo, Juan, your ridiculous Cesare. Forgive us one last time, so that we, too, may be free. I kiss your hand. I kiss your lips. Wherever forever is, I will love you.
