？！
I came to say farewell. I simply couldn't not do so, after all the kindness you've shown me.
Um, which Miss Crane are you?
It used to be easy to tell you apart, but now, you seem like both at once.
That's because I am. Here, I'm just me, complete and whole. That includes remembering everything we did together.
Then, did we manage to inscribe our songs, and the memories we shared, so that sheyou, will never forget them?
Oh yes, you did. I remember all the hopeful experiences I had clearly as well.
And I think I'll continue to do so vividly, even once this body vanishes and I return to the Throne.
I can't say I will with absolute certainty... But, I'm also no longer worried about it.
Besides, even if these current feelings do disappear, it's enough to know someone remains to carry them on.
Someone who has seen her drawings, and the outfits I tailored, and has been inspired to pass them on to the next generation.
Just knowing that is enough for me.
Indeed, it is all the reward I could ask for.
Um... I know a lot's happened between us, but I just wanted to thank you again. This outfit you made is absolutely wonderful.
Only because you wear it so well, Ex. I hope you'll continue to take good care of it.
Are you sure it's okay for me to keep it? It may be silly to ask this at this point, but...isn't it wasted on me?
Don't be silly. That outfit is all yours. It doesn't want to be separated from you, either. However!
Don't spill tea on it. Don't get crumbs from your snacks on it. Don't sleep in it. And have it dry-cleaned regularly. Can you promise me that?
You saw right through me, huh? Okay. I promise.
Hehe, then it's all good. Now please, come here.
Um, okay...
Aah! We're hugging? I guess we're hugging now.
Dear Ex. My savior. My idol. ...My friend.
You've given me something truly precious: irreplaceable memories, and a song shining with hope for tomorrow.
Now, it's my turn to give you something...
Innocence, The Crane's Tearful Farewell Poem!!!
Oh wow...!
A new outfit...
Consider it a farewell gift as we each set out on our new journeys.
I'm really looking forward to your next concertto what comes next, Ex.
...Please do.
It looks like this is goodbye then.
？！
Yes. I believe now is the time to say farewell.
...Come to think of it, my travels have always ended badly. Every time, I've had to leave with someone seeing me off under the shroud of regret.
The one and only time I saw someone off instead, I was so tormented by pain and sadness I thought my heart was going to burst.
...
But not this time! This time is different. Yes... This is how I've always wanted to say goodbye.
So please, listen closely.
Thank you, everyone! Farewell! ...Until we meet again!
...Yes. Until we meet again!
I'm sure we will again someday.
We may be parting ways, but we do so not just with regret, but with joy as well. If you should ever have need of the finest clothing...
...then please, use these regrets as the bond with which to call upon my True Name: Tsurume-no-Kimi.
I promise you now, I will gladly repay your kindness by weaving the finest garments this world has ever seen.
I'm holding you to that!
？！
Please do. In the meantime, I'll wait as patiently as a crane possibly can.
...All right, everyone, it's time. Please exit the venue in an orderly fashion.
And when you do, please don't look back. Even cranes don't always wish to be seen leaving.
We won't, Miss Crane. ...Take care.
See you again someday!
？！
Oh yes! Someday again, for sure!
...They're gone. And it won't be long now before I am, too.
Maybe...I really will see them again someday.
That day will probably never come...but I can still wish for it.
It's just like she used to say, just as people have believed almost forever: hope springs eternal!
All right... Now that we've parted ways, let's see what lies beyond this twilight sky!
...The moon is so beautiful tonight. It reminds me of my moonlit room in Chaldea.
That was where you so kindly gave me the time I needed.
It seems the threads of fate you left behind led me straight to the travelers I met today.
I now see clearly what it was you meant back then.
"It's a fight against death and separation in what precious little time one is given. It's a repetition of meeting and parting, in spite of knowing all things end."
So if the dream stage I arranged created a meaningful story for those travelers...
...does that mean I was able to return your kindness, even if only indirectly...
...Dr. Roman?
