"I know... I know. My brother cherished you a lot, just as you did with him... but Saber, I do understand your feelings. I understand it better than anyone else. But as much as we grieve, as much as we weep... there is no room for regrets. To call yourself a fool... are you saying you are a fool for experiencing such happiness in your life that, as you said, never had loved in any other way?"
That's when he opened his eyes and gave her a small, warm smile. "If it is foolish to have a heart and acknowledge what I feel, then so be it. I will be a fool with you."
