Aeris' eyes widened
He turned to walk away… then stopped
Aeris: "Can I really belong here?"
Yuri smiled softly
Yuri: "You belong here."
Days passed, and they grew closer
Their eyes spoke more than words ever could
Slowly, they fell in love
Eventually, they confessed to each other
Yuri's soul, scarred and heavy, began to heal in the warmth of Aeris' pure love
Aeris' heart, hardened and wounded, softened in Yuri's pure love
Their days together were beautiful — moments filled with happiness, even though their love was forbidden in the eyes of others
But somehow, happiness never lasts forever
Someone discovered their secret
The words… echoed everywhere, spreading like wildfire
Before they could comprehend, chaos arrived
A thousand people surrounded the church, their footsteps heavy, their voices loud
Yuri quickly closed the church doors
Aeris stepped in front, shielding him
Yuri gently turned Aeris to face him
He cupped Aeris' face in his hands, pressing their foreheads together
Their eyes locked
With a cracked voice, Yuri asked:
Yuri: "Is… it a sin to… love?"
Aeris: "It—"
The dialogue was interrupted by Ash
Ash: "No."
Irel looked at him, but said nothing and continued reading
Aeris: "Is it a sin to love a holy figure… when God itself is love?"
Yuri: "N—"
Ash: "No."
Irel continued silently
Yuri: "Is it a sin to love men…?"
Irel stopped and looked at Ash softly
Ash (softly): "I already answered you. It is not a sin to love."
Irel's eyes — and everyone else's eyes — widened in surprise and awe
It was as if Ash's words had slipped out unconsciously His eyes widened too, and he lowered his head
Ash POV: Aeth…
Irel continued reading the script, cutting the part Ash had said
Aeris walked toward the door, and he slightly turned to look Yuri
His eyes sparkled with tears
Aeris: "I love you, Yuri."
Yuri fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face
Yuri: "Aeris…"
Aeris opened the door
He fought everyone outside, killing almost all of them
Then — a blade pierced his chest
Yuri, who had promised never to shed blood, gripped the sword and struck down the person who had stabbed Aeris
Mercilessly, he fought and killed the attackers
Meanwhile, the church was engulfed in flames
He stood there alone filled with blood and with all dead people around him
The red moon glowed above him
Yuri desperately tried to use his healing power again and again, refusing to accept that Aeris was dead
His eyes blurred, his heart shattered, as he whispered:
Yuri: "Open your eyes, Aeris… even with my healing power ,I couldn't save you…"
Ash's heart clenched with brutal pain
It suffocated him
Yuri took aeris in his arms and walked toward the burning church
Inside the burning church:
He put aeris head on his chest he hold him tightly
He murmured
"I love you"
He kissed on his forehead softly
_"My love"_
The church burned down
Irel looked up from the script
And saw everyone looking down clenching their hearts
Ash stood up and walked away.....
