Staying with her all these years made her think there was something between us when there wasn't. It's like she's wasted her entire life on me.
I wasn't good enough to make him love me.
Kaede...
It's not that surprising. Some of the awful things I've done shouldn't be forgiven. Nonetheless, I took care of his every need. He was all I cared about. Everything I did was for Rin. It was the one thing I could do to try to make up for what I've done. But then, after awhile, I realized that what I really wanted was for him to fall in love with me. I wasn't honest with myself. Everything I did was because I wanted to be with Rin. I haven't been fair to him. The truth is, I took care of him out of love, not debt. Despite what we've been through, I think I will always love him. I wasn't being honest. I was afraid of the truth because I knew he wouldn't love me the same way back.
But he knew, he knew that you cared.
I could never forgive myself for what I did. Never. It makes sense though. I can't blame Rin for choosing someone like you over someone like me.
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Kaede.
You will make him happy, won't you? Because, Rin deserves it.
I certainly plan to, but so far he's the one that's been making me happy.
I can see it in your eyes, you really have fallen for him, haven't you Asa?
He caught me off guard.
Good for you. I hate to think about the suffering he went through because of me. But if you make him happy, I think in some way it will sort of make up for it.
Asa, I need you to let me make one selfish request. I want to see him. If I'm able to see him, I can keep on loving him. I know he's not mine. He's never been mine but I need to keep loving him.
Kaede...
I'm so sorry, Asa. I know it's selfish, I just... I know how Rin feels, and Asa, I know that you love him. But I still, I still...
Stop that. If anybody's selfish it's me. I should have seen it from the beginning, you've been in love with Rin for as long as I've known you. I'm sorry. Forgive me.
Asa and I got caught in the rain. I asked her if she would take good care of you. I needed to make sure, since I'm not going to be able to do it anymore.
Kaede. Just listen, I think I'm falling in love with...
Don't say another word. Please Rin, I can't hear it from you. I know how you feel. I don't need to hear it, not from you.
Now hold on, that isn't fair. You need to hear this, right now from me and no one else.
Even though I don't love you romantically, I will always love you Kaede.
What happened? You're all messy.
Yeah, I made dinner.
So do you promise that you'll try to protect me Rin, just like she has, the person I admire more than anyone else in this world?
I promise, I'll protect you.
