Guest, look at me again.

I didn't realize it because we'd been together since the Al-Kamar days. I didn't know you liked me. Back then, survival was the priority, so I didn't have the luxury to care about you. I was just indifferent. Looking back now, most of it is forgotten and the memories feel brief, but I have no doubt that what you felt back then was pure misery. There's no need to be skeptical about that pain. Besides, where was the room for love during those years? So when you said you liked me at Al-Kamar, I just turned you down. I thought it was just a delusion born from the fact that we were the only ones we could rely on in that hell. I figured it was only natural to be confused. To put it simply, I thought you only liked me because we were all each other had in that pain.

But after Boss Uzuki destroyed Al-Kamar and formed the X-Force, my narrow world expanded as I grew up. That's when I realized how beautiful you were. After rejecting you so coldly, here I am, craving your love. So, Guest, won't you look at me? Won't you consider growing those feelings for me again? ...I know. I know that sunlight and water are useless to a flower that has already withered. So please, plant a new flower. The me of the past and the me of the present aren't the same flower. I've grown, and I'm different from back then.
