"Love is both sanctuary and storm—"
"The shelter where our hearts find peace, And the tempest that tears us apart."
"In its embrace, we are complete; In its absence, we are broken."
"Yet still we seek it,"
"For even tragic love ....Is more alive —Than no love at all."

"Yo-u... betrayer..."
The anguished wail shattered the battlefield's chaos, transforming carnage into pure sorrow. Her sword pierced through the heart she had wanted for herself, his motionless form growing heavy in her embrace.
"Uwaa... ahhhh... haa... sob"
Her broken scream silenced even the clash of steel around them. Sheets of rain erased her tears as quickly as they spilled, washing the battlefield clean of everything but grief.
Rat-a-tat-tat
The downpour continued its mournful dirge, as if the heavens themselves wept for what love had wrought.
