I'm not ready for this

[Shunrei is looking at Shiryu, who is sleeping in his bed, at Rozan, after he had fought with The Silver Saint Perseus and got blinded.]

Though I thought I would be

[She remembers when Saori had called her to go to Japan because Shiryu had been hurt in a battle and needed someone to take care of him.]

I can't see the future

[The girl walks away from the cottage, running to the waterfall. She prays silenty to God to cure Shiryu's illness. She can't see his suffering day after day anymore. At first, she had thought he would be okay soon. The doctors had said he wouldn't see anymore, but she still had faith in the herbs from Rozan.]

Though I thought I could see

[But the days passed and Shiryu's blindness continued. And worth of it: He was dying to stay there like a invalid while his friends were fighting to protect their world.]

 I don't want to leave you

[Shunrei gives her back to the waterfall, watching the distant cottage. She was dying with him, but she couldn't leave him to his own pain. She had to be there with him, suffering at his side. He had to know she was there with him. Forever.]

Even though I have to

[She walks slowly back to the house, remembering Roshi's words about Shiryu's blindness: "He have to face his pain alone. If he was good enogh to use the Dragon's Armour, he have to be good in facing his own problems. I can't do anything to help him."]

I don't want to love you

[Entering in his room again, she remembers how much pain she had suffered because of him. When he had been defeated by Seiya at the Gallatic War...and so many times...
"Why do I had to love you, Shiryu?", she whispers softly to the silent room.]

I still do

[She pass the night without sleeping, looking after him. Despite all the bad things that had happened to her because of her love, she couldn't help but to continue loving him...more and more as the time pass...]

Need some time to find myself

[In this same night, she keeps thinking about what she could do to her life and his. She had to find what she really wanted. She knew she didn't want him to be good and go back fighting with his friends. It was enogh of this for her. She wanted him at her side...didn't want to leave him. But she knew his friends were too important to him...and he could never live happy there, only with her, knowing his friends were in danger.]

I wanna live within

[She wanted to live with him wherever he went...but she couldn't leave her Master alone.]

Can I go my own way

[The morning is coming. Shunrei looks at the window sadly. She couldn't go by her own way.]

Can I pray my own way

[She couldn't pray her own destiny.]

I don't want to leave you

[And she didn't want to be far from him. She wanted to cure him from that terrible illness.]

I need you

[She needed him.]

Am I ready for this

[But she wasn't ready to break her life's chains. She feared the future.]

Did I think I would be

[She thought she would be ready to help Shiryu...but she hadn't notice how much injuried she was herself. How much locked in her own life she was.]

Can I see the future

[She couldn't see the future...she could just hope Shiryu to get cured from his blindness and go back to Japan...and she could hope she would have someday the streight to follow him wherever he went as she wanted.]

No, I can't see

[Slowly, she gets up from her chair and goes to the kitchen because Roshi would get up soon and she should prepare the breakfast.]
