The pain I feel comes with the curse of being the Rose Bride. But… the pain I caused you! You were swept up into this against your will. And even knowing that, I… I used you and your naivité. I took advantage of your kindness. Forgive me, Miss Utena. I’ve cheated you. I’ve used you. I’ve betrayed you from the very beginning. I—”
“No. I… I never realized the pain you were in. I never noticed how much you were suffering. And despite that, I… I kept acting like I was a noble prince that would save you! The truth is, my protecting you was just for my ego. And the night I learned about you and Akio… I thought that you had betrayed me. Even though you were suffering so much… After I had said we should help each other, come what may… I was the one who cheated you! I was the one who used you! I was the one who betrayed you!”
“It doesn’t matter now. Just leave this school. Forget about everything that happened here!”
“You know I can’t do that! That’s right, there’s no way I can do that.”
