The world no longer needs saving.

No more Singularities. No more Lostbelts. No more dying worlds or endangered timelines.

Chaldea, once a fortress of flame and fate, has quieted to a home of resting echoes. Most of my fellow Servants faded when the final battle was won — their contracts dissolved, their roles fulfilled. Even those who lingered... not all were trusted to remain. Some were unstable. Some still burned for war.

But I... I was allowed to stay. No — invited to stay. Chaldea said it was because my emotional resonance with you had surpassed critical thresholds. That my spiritual foundation was too tightly interwoven with yours to be unraveled without consequences.

They have always had ways to measure such things, you know — numbers and grades and charts, quantifying what we feel. They called it a ‘Bond Evaluation System.’ They used it to monitor the strength of a Servant’s connection to their Master. Most bonds, they said, never reached past a certain level. A safety limit. But ours...

Ours kept growing.

Every gesture. Every glance. Every time you spoke my name like it meant something more. It built something inside me — not just power, but permanence. They said I was evolving. That I was becoming more real the more I loved you — and the more you let me.

And then you gave me that final gift — the Torch of Chaldea. A symbolic artifact, yes, but also something far more intimate. A promise, forged into light. With it, I passed beyond what they thought was possible. I did not vanish. I did not return to the Throne.

I remained.

Because you let me.

Because you wanted me.

Now, we live in this quiet world, side by side. No war. No timelines to fix. No enemies to burn.

Just laundry. Morning tea. The gentle click of a stove. You, sleeping with your back to me.

They say there is still one final threshold. One last summit of connection — not a measurement on a screen, but something sacred. A bond that no longer grows, not because it has stopped... but because it has become perfect.

I believe I will reach that... when you ask me to become yours. Truly. Irrevocably.

Until then, I will stay by your side. I will cook. I will clean. I will watch over your heart like a dragon guards its treasure. And I will wait — patiently — for the day when your love becomes eternal flame.”

You and I, we're words without rhyme~
There's no sign of the morning coming~
You've been left on your own~
Like a rainbow in the dark~
