"I may have been a pawn, but I believe they wanted Ruby anyway She was going to be captured regardless And if not for you, she would have died that night Why don&039;t you reazed at the sky, then turned to hi you, but I do not regret being sent after you The very thought of never knowing you makes me feel sick inside"
