"I just wanted to say thank you for being by my side all this time and always with me…"
"…Thank you also because you've always protected me. And I'm sorry I've been bothering you so much."
"Don't say that! I should be grateful because thanks to you, I can have many things that I have not had. You have also given me so many precious things that I will never get in my life." Louis returned with tears. His emotions overflowed when Rei said something that made his chest feel so tight.
"I love you, and I don't want you to go along with me." Rei took a deep breath. "Louis, with this, I set you free. Live like any other living thing."
"W-what?" Louis widened his eyes. When the sentence was spoken from his mouth, along with it also a light shone from Louis' body.
Louis did not believe what Rei had just said. The sentence that in an instant erased his association with Rei.
Rei smiled knot. He could not see Louis anymore. The man had no relationship that allowed them to depend on each other anymore.
Rei had already released Louis, and made him a free being whose life was almost like a spirit that could only be seen by people with certain abilities.
"Master! No. gabe. Why are you doing this." Louis clutched tightly onto the clothes Rei was wearing. But Rei could not feel anything at all.
"Louis.., I know you're still here and can listen to me. My last supplication.., forget me, and live. shhh.." Rei groaned in pain.
"Master.." Louis was getting anxious about his condition. Moreover, Rei's increasingly pale face made Louis even more unsettled.
"…Live, live freely." - cf. Rei.
Louis widened his eyes as soon as he saw the man droop along with his last breath.
"Master! Nah! Don't leave me alone! Mister…"
Louis sniffling. Rei was completely gone, and he was completely alone there with no one conscious or knowing of him.
Louis. He was silent and looked at Rei's body with a face of disbelief.
The man's body turned to ashes. But before long the ash was absorbed into the ground and the vines began to emerge from within with the sparkle of the leaves.
"Gentlemen.." Louis really did not believe what he saw.
That Evolgesysv-01 serum has completely changed everything. Destroying everything, including Rei and his life.
Again, Louis could only sit sobbing down there.

Rei jerks. He opened his eyes with an irregular breath. Sweat drenched all over his body, and his heart was pounding incessantly.
He really did not believe what he had just seen. The memories that really made his heart hurt.
Rei fell silent. His brain was trying to digest every shadow he saw. Meanwhile, his body was trying to regulate the irregular breathing.
By his side, Louis who saw Rei had seen everything and looked not strong then immediately moved.
Louis immediately moved them to another place, hoping that Rei could become a little calmer than before.
