[sobsobsob....

Cue him sighing to himself.]

I suppose that does perhaps help to balance it out...

Still, you shouldn't take such behavior so willingly! You must learn to fight back against those that would harm you!

There may come a time where I will not be there to save you, after all.

I didn't take it willingly at the time, but you had threatened Master Luca if I did not cooperate.

But now I know you wouldn't have actually brought harm to him. It was a bluff.

[ that's right. he's human. ]

I know.

Before that time comes, I want to save you.

I know. It's that fierceness I want to see when you fight to defend yourself and others.

Tch... This
is true.

[Not only human, but a cursed one.]

Save me...? No one can do that, Jeanne...

[ all sides, was it?

if only she could see his face too. ]

For you, I'll do anything.

[Every last one.

It's a red, blushing mess right now.]

Anything, huh... Even moving the sun and moon, then...

If that's what will save you. If that's what you want.

What if

I don't want to be saved?

[Hypothetically speaking...]

What do you mean?

What if after I complete my revenge, I've decided I've had enough?

Why would you decide such a thing?

It's tiring. Carrying around this pain.

[

]

It is.

But you taught me something, Vanitas.

You don't have to carry it alone. We can rely on other people if we give them a chance.

You can't die yet. You can't die until I do.

[ and that won't be for a very long time ]

[Oh, the irony...]

Hah... What a cruel, cruel woman you are, Jeanne.

Throwing my own words back at me like that.

I suppose you're right though. I did promise to kill you if you ever lost yourself. I have to live for that. For you.

I've been told that I am.

[ she didn't expect it from vanitas, however. ]

You are a man of your word. Of that I am certain.

That makes two of us, then.

[Since he's been described as such as well. Not that he means it in the strictest sense.]

That I am. I don't make empty promises.

Which means you have to stay at my side.

Understood. I shan't be leaving you anytime soon, in that case.

And I still have my revenge, after all.

Saving all vampires.

There are many more to save, Vanitas. Vampire doctor.

Précisément! So have no fear about me dying anytime soon. It's not in the cards just yet.

[ thank goodness... ]

If I could be selfish and wish for one thing.

I want you to live.

[wait what]

That would be your wish?

Why?

[ because I love you ]

My world became better and worth living again when you came into it.

I want you to find that moment and that person too.

[Sometimes the simplest words are hardest to say...]

Jeanne...

I don't know that I'll ever reach that moment or find that person, but... for you, I'm willing to try.

[Maybe he's already found them and just can't acknowledge it yet.]

[ that and she doesn't want to scare him off........ ]

That's all I can ask.

[Probably a wise idea haha...]

I will always try my best for you.
