Quote:"Do you regret having fallen in love with him? Don't you wish you could have loved someone else, someone healthy...? Someone who would love you just the same?"

"Of course not. I can't imagine a world where I would fail to have loved him."

"Ah... Perhaps love really is blind."



My body burns with passion. My body hurts from the flames which engulf my body. Starflame and holy light scorched my flesh, but I didn't care then, I don't care now. The only thing I care about now, is Him.

He, engulfed by his own sin, by his own revelry, reached a point of no return. I watched as his very being was devoured by that which he tried to take control of. So I take a step forward. I take another step. More and more, I hear voices and shouts, concerns and panic, and yet all I can see is him.

It'll be fine. I've endured worse. I want to apologize to Her, to the one that will have to continue on in my stead. I'm a selfish being at heart. I hope she will one day recall and realize what love is as well, because I could not show her, myself.

Ah. I'm no longer scared. The fear I felt when he first devoured himself is now gone. All that's left is the adoration. The endeared smile. The acceptance that we will be together no matter where it will be.

...

It's fine. I've gone through worse pain before. Being eaten and consumed entirely, that isn't something that I'm against. So long as I end up in the same place as my beloved, it doesn't matter.

The creature that is my beloved barely turns towards me, only seeing me as a meal. That's fine, too. Because that isn't actually Him. It's a monster that took him away.

I smile and brush some hair from in front of my face. My tired eyes stare, with the sweetest words, I say to him-

"I love you, Lyseroth."

...

I'm devoured, and I'm taken away. My very soul is rended into fragments, and yet I willingly allow it. I allow the me that is so in love with him to be fully taken and eaten.

I hear a voice. Gentle, sad, but encouraging.

"Good Night, Sanctum."
