Ah, Rydia... thank you. It means everything to me to hear such things... you mean everything to me. I love you more than the sky itself, truly. [It's not a declaration he'd ever make lightly, but it's very much how he feels. No one has ever made him this over the top in love before.] But I'm happy you're willing to be with me on the surface. I wouldn't mind visits to the Feymarch, though.

[All right, even that remark about "power couples and Edge" gets one of those rare sort of laughs out of Kain.] I like the sound of that. Well, who knows, if we return, we may have opportunities yet. Though I hope it remains mostly peaceful, there will still always be monsters to fight, and other enemies, I'm sure... I've never cared to think about the future that much, but now... now I have a great deal of hope for it.
