‘…The corner of your mouth is far too sweet.’

Saying this, the Count wiped away the café au lait from the corner of Ritsuka’s lips with his thumb.

Ritsuka looked a little startled, and the Count continued,

I went to the FGO collaboration café at Sweets Paradise today!

I brought my little Ritsuka plush with me.

The Monte Cristo latte was so cute… 💜🧡

i do think. like. if guda were to lose hope, dantes would still hold them tight and never leave them alone in the darkness. still he'd try to push them into the light but if guda's decision is the former then he has no choice but to accept it. and in accepting, he wouldnt leave them alone just like what guda's been telling him time and time again. for oberon his words of telling them that they can choose an end and out anytime is a comfort to their heart and knowing that is enough to give them hope, so if guda were to choose and end sooner than expected oberon would be surprised but take their hand into his own nonetheless so they could fall into the abyss together as a final curtain call where the world shall never exploit fujimaru ritsuka ever again

Flames. And dreams. Powerful things that leave lasting impressions on your soul when you touch it. yet one drop of water, one conscious breath is all it takes for them to disappear. Both contain a beauty and mystery in their existence, in how it can provide warmth by simply existing, in how it can provide light when you start a small spark, in how there are moving images in your head while you let your body rest...

Sleep, while holding onto an ephemeral dream. The End of a Dream, or the End of Love and Hate.

Both of them dont want to let go, of course. But seeing her offer rest and reprieve, and the man giving the push needed after that rest... both are flames, both ephemeral as dreams wish happiness for the light they love so much. Both of them more fictional than ever, but that doesnt make the love they have for their fate no less true, no less real.

But just like Cinderella at the strike of midnight, just like when the sun starts to peek from beyond the horizon, they needed to leave so that person would continue to be happy.

Because their existence is burning fire incarnate, they cannot stay. Their flames, despite the warmth, despite its light, offers no room for salvation. They can only burn. They cannot stay forever.

But as an act of profound love and deep affection, they leave.

the first Avenger... also being the last as an Avenger... all so that star could reach heights far, far beyond him leaving behind a trail for him and the vestiges to gaze upon and admire, that person who is ever radiant who once was but an ember he protected and gave the chance to flourish has become something so dazzling before his eyes. walking the path of salvation with brilliance unparalleled...an unbridled emotion welling up in his chest, pride at seeing how they've come so far, love for that encounter he met on that day, he wields his flames as the avatar of vengeance beyond love and hatred, as flames for that star who has become so important to him in this life. his sole worry on this bleached earth, that which was his fate, his destiny in this world...

and he also literally looks like goetia because "MY DESTINY" (istfg im going CRAZY. im going crazy!!! my desiny??? MY DESTINY!!?!?!?!?) and both him and dantes had that one on one to guda, goetia also made a hilariously BAD set up against himself so like dantes and guda became partners in crime in prison tower like goetia unintentionally played MATCHMAKER and created the worst duo ever im shitting tears. the probable reason as well why he looks like that in the 3rd ascension is because dantes viewed goetia as "an ultimate enemy guda overcame" which he positioned himself in as well so he could be defeated which was his goal in the first place i think im going to break from so much info bro. theres also the fact that prison tower and pseudo-tokyo are basically the same (that also required huge amount of mana) -> guda was dropped into prison tower, (directly/indirectly) helped by gankutsuou, stuck in chateau d'lf/becoming an Avenger by giving into temptation->bad end || overcoming the trials each floor/understanding the Avenger class, overcoming the flames-> return to chaldea. dantes positioning himself once more as both that tiny light of hope and that enemy who has guda fall into a trap likei am so. n.lromnal. I think i hauve covid

and thinking about. "my destiny" "my radiant one" "my one good thing" "my star" like- to be loved is to be changed. man. to be loved is to be!!!changed!!! and the blue and pink-purple flames that symbolize GUDA having been so special to him in this life that it changed him, BECAME SO SPECIAL TO HIM!!! (you can literally see it in his EYES??? his 4th aascension art where his flame is BLUE AS WELL??????????)

that he is still Avenger, Count of Monte Cristo, he who enacted vengeance and the greatest seeker of it, he who continues to hate and burn eternally yet chooses to love!!!!!!!!!!!!! becoming that tiny light of hope to an innocent soul and now here they stand, that tiny light he continued to protect now shines more radiant than anything else, and because of that love, his flames burn much much more fiercely than his previous saint graph and like he has you stay away bc you might evaporate to nothing and he explicitly says theyre stronger in his Monte Cristo alt!! while hes also trying to distance himself from you again bc he must still hold guilt in his heart for making you go through the Avenger ordeal and as well as the fact that you literally need to leave the flames/Avengers behind due to their conflicting nature with the wall bc being attached would be sooo hard to let go and especially considering what you and dantes went through together like what is this?? its like a giant slap of I LOVE YOU SO MUCH against my face????????? theres literally nothihg left of my remains????????????

"i need/want your flame."

he had to leave. because he cannot stand his accomplice, idle without change, trapped and imprisoned in the throes of fate, he had to let go. because a goodbye was necessary for the star to keep moving beyond the sky towards its destination of happiness aboard noah's ark.

he had to leave. leave and he had to let go. let go, let go!!! a flame such as he does not! deserves not! happiness! deserves not this warmth so gentle so different from flames that sting the very soul alive.

let go, pull away, leave! because the more he stays the harder it is to let go! the longer he remains, the harder it will be for him to make a goodbye, the harder it will be to look the star in the eyes and tell them, that it was a journey that allowed such an irredeemable soul such as he encounter the very thing that changed the trajectory of his fate itself. a journey he is extremely lucky to have spent it watching over each footstep the star made.

god. THIS IS IN NO WAY VOICED but i love his enthusiasm in english and all but THE SOFTNESS ITS ALWAYS THE SOFTNESS OF HIS VOICE IN JP HERE THAT WOULD ALWAYS SEND ME STRAIGHT INTO THE SUN. he is literally the best im choking on my blood..... the way he would laugh, he would encourage you of course, he would already sound triumphant...he sounds so sure and joyous!!!!! his voice, almost like a thunderous applause... to your struggle, to your wishes, to your desires, to your victory, to your humanity and then...

his voice lowers to an octave- to almost, a hushed whisper. the atmosphere turns quiet in contrast to the noise that had breached your heart.

the shadow that guards your soul stands before you, and stretches a hand out, presenting you to the world as the one and true victor in this battle.

yes, to you, alone.

and guda is like im going to hold your hand and stay with you. i will never leave you alone you are not alone i know i cant save you but ill be here. ill be here and thats what he needed. he cant be saved! cant be saved! you cant pull out eurydice anymore because the dead will remain dead, you can cross the river of Styx but never go beyond it. not without leaving the dead behind.

pain, torture, unending suffering he could grit his teeth from and endure but sweetness, ambrosia, love in which it is his achilles's heel: he crumbles before it like a pillar easily destroyed of its foundations. but what is ue going to do before love? hes inhuman past the prison of hell on the surface of the earth. he could only demonstrate his own kind of love through something thats considered inhuman just as him, inhuman through action and logic yet his reasoning rooted is born from love.

so its a kiss not on the lips but on the forehead, the top of the head. fitting for a man who yearns for the bright star in his perpetually night sky who he killed for who he hurt—but as much as he loves them a self imposed punishment must be made in eternal suffering for the price he needed to pay. and so theres just that small so small amount of distance that separates his heart from the star. a punishment to the flame that dared hurt the brilliance that saved him but still cannot help himself when that light continues to smile his way.

so a forehead kiss is just heartbreaking for me. as edmond has did everything he could, and will do everything for the star's sake no matter how big the price is. but still holds himself back, kissing the delicate crown of the star for he feels he does not deserve any sweetness to feel another warm press of lips against his own

thinking about it makes me SOOOOOOO AUFUFJFHFHDHXBDBX DBDBDBAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

in the end, Fujimaru Ritsuka still came for him and called him their "Accomplice"
