[At the moment, Rin can be found in the church - what used to be Abel's church, holding his letter in her hands. It's a little crumpled now. After all that, she didn't want to be alone, and Abel has always been such a trusted source of comfort.
She'll have to figure out something else.
It's never fair, like this.]

... You just had to choose now, huh?
Why am I still here? After all of this? I don't think you even like me. Not really.
I wonder if you'd really have done something if they actually manged to get a foothold in. Riful killing everyone would break the balance, wouldn't it? She'd be a show-stopper. If she managed it, what would you have done? Just revived us all like normal? Given the people trying to stop her a boost? I know there are people here who could stop her...
[She'd say more, if she had any idea what to say. But, alas.]

[Neatly written:] Please let me know when you're at Flora's next.
[Abel Nightroad]
Father Abel,
I will miss you so much. I don't know what else to say besides that, to be honest. You've been there for me since we became friends and you mean a lot to me, your confidence and belief means [meant... still means,] a lot.
You became so much more important to a lot of people than you realized. I don't know if you realize how much you'll be missed.
In case you come back, I know you won't remember [...] anyone you met here, and you certainly won't remember me. But, as long as I remember, I will make sure to be your friend again. I will remind you with this letter that I know about Crusnik and I don't mind. We know a lot about each other by now, I would say; you know more about me than many people I know.
I'll miss you and I'll be thinking of you. I hope you go back to the best of things, at home.
Rin
[And now, written publicly, neatly printed:]
This place sure has a devilish sense of timing, doesn't it?
