"You can change your appearance, and your voice is amazing. Are you a forest spirit?"
<I...>
He, who had been licking his lips, bent his knees and met Edgar’s eyes. It seemed that he had finally understood what he should do—what he wanted to do.

He just wanted to see Edgar Otis happy.
I wanted to walk with you, see your smile, and hear you say that it was a really good life.

That was all. I was simply so attached to it that I couldn’t leave this place until now.

<I’ve just been waiting for you. That’s all I am.>

"Do you know me?"
<I don’t know you.>

This body was made for—
Edgar’s eyes widened with interest and excitement. The boy simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Are you saying that you’re like my guardian angel?"
<Okay, if you want.>

"Then, may I ask your name? Since this is Rose Forest, is it Rose?"

A longed-for name came with a longed-for voice. A sobbing laugh escaped.

<Whatever your name is, do as you wish. I will be who you want me to be.>

Rose reached out and intertwined her hand with Edgar’s. Warmth passed through her fingertips.

I wanted to feel this warmth again.
Even just once.

<Edgar.>

The path that had been cut off for a long time was finally reconnected. This time, I will listen to you, know you, and walk slowly for you.

<Welcome back to the Rose Mansion.> So that we can have a beautiful farewell.

<End>
