To protect my family from the enemies outside,

to keep my sister's power suppressed,

I've spent day after day without a single moment of respite...

...until one day, before I knew it, we had forgotten the meaning of respite.

We grew ever taller, but our hearts were left behind, always...

Kogasa faced us down—we who had become like that—without budging a single inch.

Of all things, she'd managed to pull off something that I couldn't even do for five whole centuries...

Unexpectedly...

we no longer have to push ourselves forward any more,

for we now have the luxury to take respite from the rain...
