I love you more than life itself, Arodi, you mean everything to me. I'm lost without you. I swear by all that is holy and sacred to me that I will never leave you, and I won't die on you. I'm never going to leave you alone. ↗

But just for a moment. Their hatred triumphed and soon their attack had re-doubled. ↗
