Teito: They say that when the Chief of Heaven gives humans life, he gives them the chance to make three wishes. Three wishes that they are willing to exchange their lives for. Iād never thought of having dreams. I believed I had no choice but to follow the path the military had laid out for me. 07-Ghost Drama CD: Michael.
Teito: [Opens the door] Mikage! How are you feeling?
Mikage: Teito! Iām feeling great, hehehe.
Teito: Thank god! [Closes the door] I was so worried!
Mikage: Sorry! The bishops have taken great care of me. Iām all good now.
Teito: What are all these gifts by your bed?
Mikage: Got āem from the sisters! And, look, Frau even gave me this!
[Oh yeah!]
Teito: Ugh! Porn!
Mikage: He said itās a must-have for all men.
Teito: Damn that freak! I knew I shouldāve been the one taking care of you.
Mikage: Hehe. Were you feeling lonely without me? [Pats Teitoās head] Haha!
Teito: No? Donāt get any wrong ideas! [Swats Mikageās hand away] Huh? Your hand isā¦ so cold.

Frau: So we really canāt save him?
Labrador: No. Mikage will die soon. And only half of him is with us right now. Iām sorry. We could try, but given past casesā¦
Frau: Ugh. Iāve never seen someone with half a soul before. How the hell did that even happen?
Teito: (Help! Someone please help Mikage! Heās my friend!)
Frau: (Somethingās up. Weird things have been popping up left and right ever since that brat appeared.)
Frau: So we for sure canāt do anything to save him?
Castor: No, Labradorās prophecies are absolute. Iād like to make sure Teito gets enough time to say his farewells.Ā
Labrador: Someone will come for Teito soon, hoping to destroy his world.
Castor: Are you referring to Mikage?
Labrador: Itās someone else.
Frau: Ugh. Well, you know these subjects are bit too complex for little old me, but if need be Iāll just skip mass and-
Archbishop: Cooking up evil schemes again, are we?
Frau: Agh!
Archbishop: Listen up. You absolutely cannot miss todayās mass.Ā
Frau: Stupid old fartā¦
Archbishop: Put your cap on! Weāre holding our annual baptism today. Donāt you dare make a fool out of yourself in there.
Frau: Ugh, I get it, geezer.
Archbishop: Call me by my title! [Smacks Frau]
Frau: Ugh!
Castor: Iām observing Teito and his friend. Donāt worry.

Mikage: Dang! What a huge greenhouse. I didnāt know churches had these.
Teito: Yep! Oh, and you can eat this flower!
Mikage: Man, youāve become a full-on church resident already. [Sighs] You look well. Iām really glad.
Teito: Heh. How did you know I was here?
[Castorās doll makes a sound]
Mikage: (From a distance) Donāt be silly. You canāt just crash your Hawkzile into district seven and not expect me to start my search here.
Teito: Sorry. The people of the church are so nice to me. I havenāt told them anything about myself, but theyāre letting me hide here. Ah! But the guy that gave you porn is bad news!
Mikage: Really?
Teito: Heās huge and he looks like a creep. Why would a guy like that become a bishop anyway?! But he does say some nice things sometimesā¦ But no! Iām just not okay with someone like that!
Mikage: Teito?
Teito: Ah, sorry. Iāve been talking too much.
Mikage: Well, thatās why Iām here! You can tell me anything and everything you want.
Teito: Okayā¦ (I told him about everything Iād remembered so far. The fact that I was from the Raggs Kingdom that the empire destroyed... That a Father took care of me as a kid, and that he also got killed by the empire... Mikage listened to everything I said without saying anything. It made me so happy. But there was still a weird pain in my heart.) ā¦And thatās it. I know itās weird that a slave like me is saying all this. Must be hard to believe. Sorry.
Mikage: I believe you.
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: I mean, youāve always had some sort of nobility to you, or, like, a stuck-up attitude. It was a headache keeping up with you! I kept thinking āMan, is this dude a prince or something?ā So I get it. You couldnāt befriend anyone but me like that. I was worried.
Teito: Gee, thanks.Ā
Mikage: When the Raggs war ended, I was only 5 years old.
---
Kairen: Hahaha! We did it! We did it!
Mikage: What are you so happy about, dad?
Kairen: Huh? We won the war! Weāve beaten our enemies!
Mikage: Enemies? Uhhā¦ (Why is he happy that weāve killed people?)
---
Mikage: I was born in the country that destroyed yours, so I may not have the right to say this, but Iām glad youāre still carrying your parentsā love in your heart. Teito Klein, youāve never been alone a day in your life.
Teito: Hehā¦ (Iāve only been here in the church for a couple of days, but our days back in the military academy feel so far away.)
Mikage: So, what do you want to do?
Teito: I- Ugh! Aghhh! Ah! [Falls on his knees]Ā
Mikage: Teito?

[Jingles]
Krom: Teito.
Teito: Dad?
Krom: Iāll only tell you this once, so please listen well. [Takes out the Eye of Michael] The Eye of Michael carries all of Raggsā history. Teito, you must carry our legacy on. That is your mission.
---
Teito: Ughā¦ My missionā¦ is toā¦ learn the history of Raggs. Agh!
Mikage: Teito! Are you okay?
Teito: Mikage, Iām so sorry. I know youāre here to take me back to the military, but I canāt go.Ā
Mikage: Oh. Hm. Can you stand up, Teito? [Helps Teito get up]
Teito: Thanks.
Mikage: (He looks so much better than he did when we were at the academy.) Iāve got it. Youāre putting your life on the line for this, right? In that case, youād better see it through!
Ayanami: (Is that your answer?)
Mikage: Agh!
Teito: But will you be okay, Mikage?
Mikage: Ahā¦ Teito, listen to what Iām about to say very carefully. [Grabs Teito] Listen as long as my voice is still able to reach you.
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: First off, donāt turn the military into your enemy. You wonāt gain anything by taking revenge. Killing someone you hate wonāt help you in any way. Always face forward. Walk the path of light. Second, I know you canāt bring yourself to accept help or to open up to people, but youāre the best friend Iāve ever had! Iāll always pray for your happiness. Iāll always be by your side. Donāt ever forget that.
Teito: M-Mikage? Why are you telling me all this?
Mikage: Heh. Well, Iām in a bit of a jam. I canāt return to the military either.
Teito: Oh! Then-
Mikage: I have one final request. Kill me, Teito.
---
Hyuuga: You were with Teito Klein when he ran away, right?
Mikage: How many times do I have to tell you this, Major Hyuuga? He was holding me hostage. Torture me all you want, but Iāve got nothing to tell you!
Hyuuga: Oh? Is this a photo of your family? You have such a cute little sister.
Mikage: Huh?
Hyuuga: On your application form, you said you wanted to join the military for your family. I was so moved when I read that. Youād make a fine soldier. So let us give you a choice. Your family or Teito?
Mikage: Thatās such aā¦
Hyuuga: Right, Aya?
Ayanami: [Walks over] Bring either him or your family to me.
Mikage: [Gasps]
Ayanami: Iāll put a mark on you so that you canāt run away. Think carefully. If you canāt choose either, you will die.
---
Teito: What are you talking about? Like hell I can kill you!
Mikage: [Gasps] Thenā¦ run away! I canāt hold him back anymore!
Teito: Huh?
Mikage: Itāsā¦ not me, butā¦ someone is after you! Ugh! Dammit! I couldnāt just sell you out! Youāre like family to me!
Teito: [Runs towards Mikage] Whatās going on?! I canāt just leave you here!
Mikage: [Pushes Teito away] Ugh!
Teito: Agh!
Mikage: What are you doing? Just go off on your own! (Iām so scared, Teito. Donāt leave me.)
Teito: Mikageā¦
Mikage: Ever since I met you, Iāve always felt so happy and warm. (Donāt let my family die.) Go away before I hurt you!Ā
Teito: [Gasps] Has the military done something to you?
Mikage: I love you, Teito. Farewell. / I wonāt let you run away, Teito. Youāll be coming back with me. [Attacks Teito with his Zaiphon]
[Castorās doll shields Teito from the attack]
Aya!Mikage: Oh? Looks like someone here likes making ugly dolls.
Teito: [Gasps] No, thatāsā¦ not Mikage!
Aya!Mikage: [Attacks Teito]
Teito: [Gasps] [Runs away] (Was someone from the military hiding within Mikage?! How?! How could they even do that?!) Agh! [Keeps running] (Iāve got to go outside, or else the people of the church will get dragged into this! Goddammit! How could they do this to my best friend?! Mikage! What should I do?!) Itās a dead end. Wait, no, thereās a door.
Person: Oh? Hey kid! That place is off limits!
Teito: Agh! [Kicks the door open]
Person: Woaaaah!
Teito: [Gasps for breath] Have I lost him? Huh?
Aya!Mikage: This game of tag is over, Teito Klein.
