That old man asked me to go shopping again.

Hey, do you want ot come with me?

I don't think I've got enough hands to carry everything. I'll come get you this afternoon.

P.S.

When we've finished shopping I'll show you around Cradle again. I think there's still a lot of places you haven't seen yet.

I saw you in the garden earlier, tripping over your own feet.

You should be more careful.

But you know lately I feel like I'm seeing you everywhere.

And I feel like your voice is all I hear.

...What's with that?

But I feel like you'd tell me not to even bother asking.

Never mind. It's all good.

P.S.

I know our soldiers are good people and you want to help, but--

You don't need to do ALL their laundry. They can manage it themselves.

I dreamed about you the other day.

I was trying to let go of your hand, but-You were like a little kid, you just kept shaking your head and clinging to me.

But you were holding both my hands.

So I coulan t wipe your tears away. All I could do was smile.

It was the weirdest dream.

[Alice]... that day when I told you to run without me?

I was really glad that you stayed with me.

Thanks.

Well, that's all.

I'm writing this the night before the full moon.

Seth told me I had to give you a memory that you could hold onto physically.

But I can't think of what else to write now.

I can't turn those times we've spent together into memories yet.

And I don't want them to turn into nothing more than pretty memories.

I feel like, if they become memories, that means the part of me that lives within you will slowly fade away

And the part of you that's inside me will fade away as well.

Ahh, heck, I can't give you this letter.

Can I be serious for a moment?

After you read this, promise me you'll throw it away.

And promise me you won't laugh

On the day I accepted my fate fro what it is--

a part of me thought I'd have to spend the rest of my life alone.

But I was wrong.

Meeting you helped me realize that living alone isn't real strength.

In truth, that was a kind og troublesome realization.

Hey, [Alice]? I want you to be a part of my fate.

If you agree to that, I'll give you everything I have to offer.

And I'll protect oyu and make you happy.

Please, will you give me your answer?

Ahh, I'm too impatient. I'm going to go see you right now.

Wait for me.

Everyone is preparing a welcome home party for you right now.

They're so excited.

Every place you are is always filled with laughter and joy.

Hey, [Alice].

I know this isn't my style, but- I keep thinking how much I want these days to last forever.

With you laughing, and the sky bright and clear... nothing makes me happier.

These are everyday moments, but I know just how precious they are.

No matter what it takes, I will always protect you, and these special moments.

Welcome home, [Alice].

I guess I'd better go get you soon.

Apparently it's my job to go get you.

Oh, I forgot to say one thing.

I love you today, just like I do every day.

I want to understand this world.

I still remember when you said that to me.

I thought you were a weirdo.

But also a good person, and that hasn't changed Hmph. Wasn't really expecting to remember this while at the pub today, though.

We were fighting for 500 years, and it hasn't been that long since it ended.

There are still soldiers in the Black Army who don't think much of the Red Army.

But to me, they're friends who live in the same country... in the same world.

That's why I came here, to Red Army headquarters. I came to ask my friends for help.

They've got a great doctor here, plus the King of Hearts, who I know I can rely on.

Okay, but that's got nothing to do with why I brought you here, does it?

That was just because I want to spend as much time with you as possible.

I know that you've been worried this whole time.

And I know you've been flustered and confused, too.

And for the most part, I know what's causing it, too.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but you're not really cut out for keeping secrets.

Your expressions give you away, and the way you push yourself makes it obvious.

Listen... I want you to stop trying to deal with everything on your own. I'm here for you.

Although I guess that doesn't sound very convincing right now, huh?

But just you wait till my arm's healed, and l've got my strength back.

I'm gonna throw my arms around you and hug you tighter than ever.

Just wait a little longer, okay?

I found a reason to get stronger.

And then I put in the effort to get stronger.

It was so I could fight, together with you.

But even so, my strength alone probably isn't enough.

'Cause if all you're pursuing is your own strength, you're gonna hit a limit.

But don't worry, because for me, having friends I can count on is another strength.

My strength combined with the strength of my friends makes for something unbeatable.

And I'm gonna use that strength to protect Cradle, and to protect you. I swear it.

So trust me, and believe in me, no matter what happens.

I've always been looking for a world where everyone's free to be happy.

I was always struggling and flailing, but I kept trying. I kept aiming high.

And that hasn't changed, even now.

But I've realized something.

No matter what world I'm in, my world doesn't even start without you.

Even if the world has a night with no moon, it won't matter how long it lasts.

I'll still go on believing that you'll bring about the dawn for me.

Look, I don't really know what eternity is like.

But to me, eternity is just the time I spend with you, here in this world.

I love you, [Alice].

Even when I realized you were stuck in the Land of the Looking Glass, I didn't worry.

But that's because I knew you'd always trust me, and wait for me.

If anything, this month has made me realize something.

To me, you're the place I come home to.

It doesn't matter what comes between us, or what tries to separate us.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

Yeah, in other words... what I mean is, I love you.

But the truth is, that phrase alone isn't enough.

But I feel like no matter how far I search, I'll never find the words to express what l'm feeling.

So will you spend your life helping me find the perfect words for it?

I bet we can find them, so long as we're together.

Your voice is so mystical to me.

Even when we're in a crowd, I can always hear it.

And it gives me incredible strength.

Are you actually the goddess of victory?

I know that isn't true but still you supported me so much, [Alice], that I can't help wanting to believe it.

So I want to say thank you.

I hope you'll always be there to support me, [Alice].

I won't lose to anyone else.

And I promise that I'll dedicate all of my victories to you.

It's dawn on the 25th and the sun has just risen.

Since you're not waking up, I'm passing the time by writing a letter to you.

I feel wide-awake now.

In my mind I keep seeing the beautiful landscape we saw from the sleigh last night.

Your smiling face is forever etched in my heart.

Even though Christmas comes every year, I'll remember today forever.

Who would've thought we'd be Mr. & Mrs. Claus!

I'll also never forget how you make my heart race every time

I'm with you.

I'm sure I'll still feel the same way no matter how old we get and I'll always be by your side.

And I'm sure your smiling face won't change either.

I needed to write this down so you can look at it whenever you want.

I love you. Not a moment goes by that I'm not thinking about you.

I'm always in awe of your determination and strength and it makes me want to grow as a person, and as a man that is suited to be by your side.

But on those days where you're not that happy-- on the days where you feel bone-tired and weary, know that I'll be right there to offer you a shoulder and a warm hug.

As a matter of fact, I think I'll go give you a hug now.

Wait for me.

There's something l've been wanting to tell you, but I'll just write it in this letter.

No matter what, there's no way I could never get tired of loving you.

Whenever you look at me, my heart races in my chest and it feels like the moment I realized I loved you.

When you smile at me, I feel like everything will be all right.

Ever since the night we met, my life has completely changed for the better.

I think of that day as a present, the best one I could've ever received.

Thank you for loving me, [Alice].

At times like this, I dunno what to write. Always at times like this.

Whenever I want to express how I really feel, I can never express it in words. On top of that, it's only when I need to express it to you. That's strange...

Well, all right then. It might be hard to say, but I need you to listen. I was so happy you celebrated my birthday with me. Your well wishes, the time you shared with me, your smiling face-everything about today. I will never forget it.

So... what are you gonna do about this? I can't imagine a birthday without you, and I don't want to... Can I make just one last birthday wish?

I wish... you'd always be by my side. I know in my heart I can make you happier than any man in this world could.

Take your time in answering me. Since... you and I still have plenty of time to spend together.

I'm at here at the Central Quarter for the training exercise now.

Since I can t see you, I thought I'd write you a letter.

The other day was so crazy but now we can laugh at it.

Although having our hands stuck together was not an ideal situation...

I did really enjoy being with you the whole day and seeing you smile.

After I get back, l'm going to tell you how much I love you.

I want to say 'I love you,' so that I can see your smile ASAP.

So look forward to me coming home soon.

And don't get into any trouble while I'm gone.

PS

I'll say it for today— I love you.

Love, 

Ray

Every full moon, I remember back to that night that you suddenly fell from the sky.

On Valentine's night, you gave me your love under the same full moon.

I was deeply moved, just like that very first night we met.

In other words... I fell in love with you all over again.

It was a nice feeling.

I'm not so great with my words, so I wanted to convey my thoughts in this letter.

I want you to always remember how I feel.

I love you from the bottom of my heart.

I treasure you more than anything else in this world.

I want to spend the rest of my life with you.

I will use all of my strength to make sure you're able to smile each and every day, so let me take care of you.

On days where you're unsure of my feelings, read this letter again.

My feelings for you will never change for as long as we live.

Thank you for helping me every day despite the heat.

Everyone's hard work allowed us to open the beach without any incidents.

The fireworks that night were beautiful, don't you agree?

How you looked in that yukata was also... very pleasing to the eye.

So much so that halfway through, I had to show you just how beautiful you looked.

Please wear it again sometime.

I'll make sure we're both alone so we can fully enjoy it.
