"You know, the heroes will rise again. They themselves even said. There's no reason for you to cry."

"Heroes? The ones who no matter what will get back on their feet and claim victory against the evil doers. I'm not crying for them."

"Then who? Don't tell me you're-"

"The villains have their own circumstance. I cannot deny that. But ones my tears are falling for are the ones who cannot longer rise up; the ones who sacrificed themselves in order to save many, a few soul, or even just one survivor. I cry for the one who had to give up their dream of return just for the rest to get back. If the heroes are the swords and swords who will pave way for our future, those who gave up their dreams are the shields.

"They are certain of their no return. They knew it themselves. They had faith, not of returning but of victory. I'm crying because they can no longer go back.

"That is their own circumstance, which is why I cannot help but weep."
