[This is what Yeul was born to do. To guide others. Her age doesn't matter. It's a blessing in her eyes to have the chance to help the one person most important to her. And right now, she'd give just about anything to ease his heart.

You do not need to apologize. You have done nothing wrong. I should.

I know, I'm not permitted to change my fate. But... I wanted to. I wasn't ready to leave you. I wanted to stay with you forever.

You were never going to be able to save me, Noel. So please, do not blame yourself. If anything, blame me for leaving you.
