The sixth!

"footsteps"

They say the first step towards something real is the hardest.

"My name's Maka."

"I'm Soul."

And that it's what you do when you think no one's watching that really matters.

"If you go through with this, it'll kill you."

"I don't care."

"You idiot, if you die-"

"I don't care about you. I'm doing it for her."

And it's true.

"Soul..."

"Yeah?"

"...Thank you. For everything."

"Anytime."

Because after that first, signifigant, determining step, everything falls into place.

Sometimes you get lost, but you never lose sight of the one reason why you pushed yourself so far.

"What, Soul? You've been looking at me weird all day."

"...It's nothing, Maka."

Because, eventually, you'll get there.

"Maka, it's going to be fine. Everything's okay..."

"Th-they killed Papa, a-and now th-they're after you!"

"Nothing's gonna happen to me, Maka. I'll be fine..."

"No i-it won't!"

"Maka...Don't cry."

"It's my f-fault, Soul!"

"..."

"I...I don't want you to die, Soul."

"I won't."

I'll never leave you behind...

...

...

...

...I promise.

Because one day you'll finally realize that there is no going back, there is no second try.

"Why do you fight?"

"..."

"You're going to die here. You might as well make the most of it."

"...Shut up."

"Who is she to you?"

"..."

"You left her behind, Soul Eater, to protect her. You knew that you were going to die as soon as you stepped into this room. All I ask is why."

"I came here to kill you, you bastard."

"Surely not."

"You killed her father."

"And why do you care about that? You're only her weapon."

"You don't understand anything about us."

"Us...? Are you in love with her? What a waste..."

"SHUT UP!"

She'd do it for you.

Everything that's worth the time is worth the fight.

"Soul! SOUL!"

"It's...It's done, Maka. We won."

"You won."

"...Heh."

"Thanks, Soul. And I..."

"I know. Me too."

and would you find that one you're dreaming of?
swear up and down to God above
that you'd finally fall in love...
if today was your last day...
