scene 44
Right, so...nothing is given without a disadvantage, and it's not like I used this all that much, anyway. Besides, we get them back, don't we?If there's anyone else in the mirror world who thinks ocean fishing is a great idea, either say something right now, or don't say it at all

No, I wasn't ready at all...I didn't believe him, I didn't trust him. The right thing at the wrong time can still end up being wrong, can't it? It couldn't have happened then.
You're right. I know you are. I know no one is guaranteed a second chance; that if you get one, you should protect it. It's just...of all the things I've fought for, my happy ending hasn't been one of them. It's easier to stand up for someone else, I think. Somehow, fighting for your own happiness is a different battle altogether. The lines aren't so clearly drawn...it's easier to get caught up, to not know where you are, and how...
Then that's your purpose in coming to the City, isn't it? You and Mitsuhide had to find each other. It had to happen. Even if it meant taking you both from separate eras completely. I've told you this before, I know, but it's as true now as it was then - you and Mitsuhide are everything I always wished was possible but never thought could be, until I met you.
I guess I thought...
I thought if I kept it hidden, then it would be my burden, and only mine. Not something he would have to take back with him...not after everything that's happened.
[ooc: This is so beautiful, do you realize...? Your Megumi makes me wibble and get all teary, that's just how spectacular you are. Heavens. You deserve an award, Misa. This is gorgeous.]

Yes, it may have been wrong then. The right thing at the wrong time. But what is important is now. Are you ready? Is he ready? And can you tell when you have to make yourself ready? You have this second chance. What if this is the moment in which you have to face it and grasp it? Second chances in themselves are rare, as you know. Third chances even more. Don't let it slip past you.
Fighting for your own happiness . . . but it is not one that is simply yours. It is his too. A happiness with you, in love with you. He's already told you what he feels, despite everything that you say has happened. He fights for his happiness with you, for your happiness with him, and I think that it is your turn to fight--not just for your happiness, but for his. That happy ending for the both of you.
I believe it, Sarah-san. Mitsuhide and I were fated to meet. But that does not mean that we do not fight for our love, because trials will most certainly come our way, and they have, in this City. Our love is beautiful because we uphold it, and we fight for it, and we live our lives to the fullest together, through hardships, through laughter, through sorrow, through joy, always in love. We have been afraid, yes. But since he promised that we will never be parted, and I answered this promise--I know that we will always be happy together, and I have faith in him, and faith in our love.
Then you are giving him another burden--one of unrequited love. Do not think that I do not understand where you are coming from--I do. You wish to spare him from the pain of being parted, of shattered dreams. And that is noble and admirable too. But you also must see that denying yourselves of this, when both of you can be happy and can fight for this happiness and can make your dreams come true . . . you have this moment in time to make it right. Don't waste this chance.
[ooc; aww, thank you, Beth. ♥ And Sarah's fear is real, and understandable, and makes me want to hug her! This is amazing. ♥]

I was so determined to play the heroine, to set things right again. But things have to be wrong before that can take place, don't they? And I didn't want to see outside of my brightly colored, neatly arranged box. Not just then. Looking back...I don't think he ever really was asking for my defeat, like I had thought. I think it was more deliverance - he wanted a different ending to the story. An ending that wasn't scripted and planned. An ending I couldn't have been prepared for.
Mmm...the things that are most worth protecting are the things that require the greatest faith, aren't they? I know your life with him will be beautiful, because it is now. Because the two of you together - everything you believe in and stand for - is beautiful.
...The pain of shattered dreams.
That feeling of having held everything you ever wanted in your hands, and watching it slip away. That cycle of guilt and regret that never ends because you never stop wondering what if...
No, I don't want him to take that back with him. A moment of that feeling is too long. A lifetime of it is unthinkable.
Then I know what it is I have to do. Even if it hurts, even if it frightens me...it's important. It's a battle worth facing.
It's the only ending worth writing.
[ooc: ♥~! Sarah needs hugs, and Megumi deserves flowers after this. An advice column, too. I'm loving this more than I can say.]

Love is beautiful, and it gives us faith. Hold on to that.
And that happy ending . . . you can write it. You have that courage, and that strength . . . and now is the time.
[ooc; oh yes, Megumi will be sure to give her lots of hugs! ♥ This is so sweet! ♥ :3]
