El Schatt

[El Schatt]

What? What's that look for?

Oh, you must have spoken to

Manainne. Look, memories are

nice and all, but I don't dwell

on the past. I think about the

future. That's what's best.

Hey, I've got some great

memories of this place too,

but you know what? I've decided

to let go of them before they

get too painful. That's life.

Besides, it's not all bad.

My father's been wanting to

build a shop here for so long,

and now, I think it's about time. And this business will help the

entire community. We should've

done this a long time ago...

C'mon... Take a look

around. I won't deny that

this is a quaint and lovely

town, but how much money do

you think these people enjoy?

I need to look to the future...

This is the perfect

location for shops.

Yeah, I'll build a whole

plaza, and rent it out to the

merchants. Build up some

commerce, attract businesses...

Everyone should just

forget about that tree.

When you think about it,

it's just a waste of space...

You've spoken with my father?

Hmpf! Don't tell me you're here

to change my mind. I'm building

those shops, and that's final.

It's useless to try to convince

me otherwise. Understand?

It's true that I used

to think differently...

I'd protect that old tree

with my life, I won't deny

it. But that's an old story that should be buried in the past...

The past is behind me

as it should be. Now

I must focus on building

my family's businesses.

Father was right all along...

What did you say...?

You met Kanainne?

Listen, that's not funny.

I won't tolerate that kind

of sick joke, so get out

of here before I get angry.

No way...!

Kanainne is dead!

There's no way

I can believe this!

............

K-Kanainne! *Sob*

I've missed you so much!

Why did you leave me?

Oh, my dear,

sweet El Schatt...

I'm so sorry. But

that was my fate...

It was my time to go...

You have to let me go...

I can't take it anymore!

It hurts too much without you!

I can't stop thinking about us,

and all the memories... all of

the memories hurt so much...

Is that why you want to

cut down that tree? Because

it reminds you too much of

all of our days together?

Y-yes! Seeing it makes

me so angry and so sad!

I wanted to get rid of it!

If I don't forget you, then

what will I do? I c-can't

forget about you, c-can I?

Will destroying that tree

make you happy? Do you think

you'll be happy if you forget

all about me? I know you're

not like that, El Schatt.

You're not that cold...

No... I don't want

to forget you. All of

our good times. But I miss

you so much... I think I'm

going to go insane! I don't

know if I can endure this pain!

Please be strong for me,

El Schatt. Someday, time

will heal your wounds, and

your memories of me will only

bring you fondness, not pain.

I miss you El Schatt, and I...

Kanainne...?

K-Kanaine?

What's happening?

El Schatt, I'm so sorry...

But I have to go now. I can't

stay in the world of the living

for too long, and my time limit

is almost up. I still... I...

N-no! Please, stay with

me! I'm not ready to lose

you again! D-don't leave

me again! Nooo! Kanainne!

I need you here with me!

I can't do that...

But please, El Schatt...

Promise that you'll be

yourself from now on...

Be kind... And follow

your true dreams...

Don't cut down

that tree... And make...

make beautiful music.

Please finish the song

that you made for me for...

for both of our sakes...

Anything for you,

Kanainne. I vow it...

El Schatt...

I still... I still...

Y-yes...

*Thud!*

Kanainne!

...I...

...El Schatt...

She's gone again.

It's... I'm Manainne...

*Sniff* She had to go back...

Oh... Oh dear

sweet God... My...

My dear Kanainne...

No.... No... Please...

...Would you please

leave me alone? I have...

I have an awful lot to

think about. And there's

music that I have to write...

Father was right...

This area is the perfect

place to build some stores.

All that's left is to chop down

that old tree. It's in the way

of a whole lot of things...
