Episode 65
SIR.
REGARDING THE INFORMATION YOU INQUIRED ABOUT BEFORE THE MEETING.
THE TRAIN SCHEDULED TO ARRIVE AT PORTSMANN STATION IS STILL DELAYED.
THANK YOU.
IT'S STRANGE GIVING IT TO YOU IN THE SPRING.
YOU CAN WEAR IT NEXT WINTER, OR...
I NOW HAVE A REASON TO STAY ALIVE UNTIL THIS WINTER.
MY LIFE HAS BEEN EXTENDED, ONCE AGAIN.
EVEN IF THERE'S NOTHING LEFT FOR ME FROM NOW ON...
IF PEOPLE ARE BORN WITH A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS,
I BELIEVE I ENJOYED ALL OF MINE IN THE PAST.
WHAT WAS THE HAPPINESS THAT I WAS GIVEN?
HEINER, COME OVER HERE!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING TOMORROW?
ARE YOU NOT GOING TO SEE ME?
HAHA! FLOWERS, AGAIN?
AT THIS RATE, I'LL BE BURIED IN FLOWERS!
I LOVE YOU, HEINER.
ANNETTE.
MY HAPPIEST MOMENTS WERE ALWAYS WITH YOU.
I WISHED I COULD RELIVE THOSE DAYS FOREVER...
IF A PERSON HAS A SET AMOUNT OF HAPPINESS, LIKE YOU SAID,
...WHISPERING MY LOVE...
THEN I MUST'VE USED UP MY HAPPINESS BACK THEN, HOLDING YOU AND WHISPERING MY LOVE FOR YOU
THERE WAS SOMETHING I HAD TO TELL HER.
SOMETHING I HAD TO SAY TO HER.
WHY DIDN'T I REALIZE IT SOONER?
ANNETTE.
I...
YOU...
WHY IS THE TRAIN SO LATE?
THERE'S CONSTRUCTION GOING ON SO THEY HAD TO TAKE A DETOUR.
STILL, IT'S TAKING TOO LONG...
IT'S REALLY OVER WITH HEINER.
I KNOW THIS IS FOR THE BEST,
BUT I CAN'T HELP FEELING HEARTBROKEN.
IF WE COULD HANDLE OUR UNCERTAIN FUTURE...
AND ENDURE THE PAIN AND WOUNDS AND MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER...
COULD WE HAVE MADE THAT CHOICE?
I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE "WHAT IF"S...
OH MY.
...IT'S TOO LATE NOW, ANYWAY.
ANNETTE.
ANNETTE ROZENBERG.
I UNDERSTAND NOW. FINALLY, I UNDERSTAND.
I NOW KNOW WHY YOU, WHO RUINED ME AND WAS RUINED BY ME,
STILL REMAIN AS THE MOST PRECIOUS PERSON TO ME.
THOUGH I CAN'T EXPLAIN ALL THE DARK, DISTORTED FRAGMENTS OF MY LIFE,
NOR EXPRESS ALL MY FEELINGS FOR YOU INTO A SINGLE SENTENCE...
IF THERE IS ONE THING I MUST TELL YOU, IT'S THAT...
I LOVE YOU.
THE PERSON I WAS WHEN I LOVED YOU WASN'T A LIE.
THE PERSON THAT LOVED YOU,
AND THE LOVE I HAD FOR YOU, WAS NEVER A LIE.
I JUST WANTED TO LOVE YOU.
WITHOUT ANY GUILT, WITHOUT ANY FLAWS.
I WANTED TO STAY FROZEN IN TIME,
JUST TO LOVE YOU.
TO BE HONEST, I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT WAY.
I ONLY REALIZED IT TOO LATE.
I NEED TO TELL YOU. YOU NEED TO KNOW.
EVEN IF IT'S TOO LATE, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE.
YOU'VE LED ME OUT OF THIS LONG, DARK TUNNEL, ANNETTE.
THIS TIME, IT'S MY TURN TO GO TO YOU.
THE TRAIN WILL DEPART SOON!
ANNETTE...
ANNETTE.
ANNETTE...!
HEINER?!
HEINER! WHY ARE YOU HERE...?
ANNETTE. THERE'S SOMETHING I NEED TO TELL YOU.
THE TIME I SPENT WITH YOU WAS THE HAPPIEST, MOST PRECIOUS PERIOD OF MY LIFE.
THOSE DAYS WERE NOT A LIE.
THOSE TIMES WERE TRUE, AND THEY WERE MY EVERYTHING.
TRUTHFULLY, I WANTED TO KEEP LIVING WITH YOU...
AND STAY WITH YOU FOREVER.
EVEN WHEN I RESENTED AND DESPISED YOU,
I HAVE NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU.
ANNETTE, I LOVE YOU.
I'VE LOVED YOU MY ENTIRE LIFE,
WITH ALL MY HEART.
I'M NOT TRYING TO HOLD ONTO YOU.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU,
THAT OUR TIME TOGETHER WASN'T A LIE.
I WANTED YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR FEELINGS AND YOUR LOVE...
...WEREN'T A LIE EITHER.
SO...
I WISH YOU HAPPINESS. I WISH YOU WELL.
ANNETTE, YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE.
...THANK YOU FOR LOVING SOMEONE LIKE ME.
HEINER.
...I'LL WRITE TO YOU.
ANNETTE! I WILL--
I WILL BRING YOU VICTORY IN THIS WAR!
I LOVE YOU.
IN THE RUINS THAT I RETURNED TO AFTER A LONG JOURNEY,
THERE WAS LOVE, AFTER ALL.
BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE,
EVEN THE DAYS UNDER THE SHADOWS WERE A MIRACLE TO ME.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH I SAY IT, IT'LL NEVER BE ENOUGH.
ANNETTE, I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, ANNETTE ROZENBERG.
