   Summary

   It was something that should have been left behind, something that as much as he may have pleaded long ago to have been made bare to the people he loved, he absolutely could not let be known. But what will a lingering and pertinent sorrow, acting as a catalyst entail for those conflicting desires? What will it mean for those he promised to protect, from the world itself and his own secrets?

   An alternate take on the story of Re:Zero, branching off from the ending of Arc 9.
