[ She was still crying, but not as uncontrollably as earlier. But at her encouragement, Lacus found herself sighing and smiling. No, she couldn't stay sad after that.

She knew she didn't have to hide anything from Mitsuki.

Before Takuto came, she could understand her feelings of being separated from someone she cared about. Now, seeing her so happy Takuto ...

... she couldn't have but miss having that in her life too. But Mitsuki is a miracle indeed. She waited three years.

But I wasn't always sad when I wrote to him ... sometimes I did write to him because I was happy ... or sometimes when I was frightened.

So I have no regrets.
