[ It's obvious this is being filmed in one of the many temples, all cool hard stone behind her, and, given the subject matter of the video, most likely to be Hope's. Sharon does not look pleased. Furious might be the better descriptor but it's a calm sort of fury. There are a few spatters of dark blood on her cheeks, dried and cracking; old. She has no wounds just stains and memories. She leans in towards the lens and whispers: ]

So, which one of you fuckers killed me? [ Her killer could reply, he might not, but she won't stop until she finds him and returns the favor. ]

You haven't lost me, Sharon. You won't lose me - not if I can do anything about it. I promise.

[And he knows there's always a very real chance that it won't be within his power. But until that point, he resolves, here and now, to never stop fightinng for Sharon - for them.]

You know where to find me when you want to see me again. Take care of yourself. I love you.

[ I promise. Sharon knows they can't keep promises in a place like and that makes Mello a liar—not that he hasn't always been one—but it's a lie she accepts. She makes her own silent promise: to ensure he stays with her, even if the end is fire and brimstone and mechanical machines ready to rip them apart. ]

I love you, too. I'll be careful and I'll... I'll come home tomorrow, all right?

[ And just for good measure, as if she hasn't said it enough. ] I love you, okay? More than anyone I've ever met.

I believe you, Sharon.

[That's a significant distinction, in his mind - it's one thing to know, and another to believe.]

Tomorrow, then. I'll see you tomorrow.

Tomorrow. [ She promises, voice solemn, exhausted emotionally. God, life fucking sucks. ]
