I'm alone
Yeah I don't know if I can face the night
______Hitomi runs into the bedroom and falls on to the sheets, her body racked with sobs after just witnessing that small moment of intimacy between Allen and the blonde-haired princess.
I'm in tears
And the cryin' that I do is for you
______Hitomi tries to block out the frustrating sight from her mind and tries, instead, to think about the times when she and Allen were alone; the times where he put his life at risk to save her, to take care of her…those times when she thought that he loved her, while her mind grew oblivious of the danger lurking in the shadows getting ever closer and closer…
I want your love let's break the wall between us
Don't make it tough I'll put away my pride
______A scream is heard in the night and Van raises his head in alarm as he tries to gauge where the voice is coming from. It’s sounds a lot like Hitomi, he thinks to himself before a small orange cat-girl bounds into his room in alarm.
Enough's enough,
I've suffered and I've seen the light
______Van’s heart races with fear as he mounts his guymelef, hoping to get there on time to be able to return a favor once presented to him long ago that saved his own life…
*You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
______Hitomi is thrown on to the cold, hard, concrete floor of the submerging vehicle and she wonders in fear if anyone would notice that she’s gone and if anyone would really care. " Allen," she whispers sadly as a tear rolls down her cheek…
You're my angel
Come and make it alright
______The ceiling of the vehicle is suddenly pried open and Hitomi feels her heart flare with hope. Had her prince finally come to rescue her? She looks up in anticipation , hoping to see his face and realizes in shock that it isn’t a blonde-haired, blue-eyed knight that has come to rescue her…
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight*
______Van drags Hitomi out of the vessel and quickly gets out of the water. With the help of Allen, the king, the cat-girl and the psychic easily escape the clutches of the Zaibach troops and flee to a safer place. Hitomi waves and whispers a soft goodbye to Allen…
Don't know what I'm gonna do about this feeling inside
Yes, It's true loneliness took me for a ride
______After landing on a deserted forest, Hitomi awakens for the second time that night as the slash of the sword reaches her ears. She sees Van practicing and sits down beside him to keep him company. She thanks him shyly for saving her and proceeds to tell him about her family.
Without your love I'm nothing but a beggar
What can I do?
______He tries to comfort her and Hitomi’s eyes open to the truth, revealing another side of Van she never expected existed. He also promises her that he’d get her back home, knowing how much she missed her family and everything and he assured her in his own defiant and awkward way that he’d protect her against all costs…
I'm sleepin' in this bed alone
______They fall asleep beside each other and Van unconsciously puts an arm around her as she cuddles up closer to him, both of them drifting deeply off to slumber…
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
______Hitomi’s heart goes out to Van as they start beating him up. Silently, she curses herself for getting them into trouble in the first place. A cobra suddenly slithers up her body and her captor uses her to get some information out of Van. Hitomi is surprised to find worry and desperation in his eyes as he pleads to them not to hurt her…
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
______Through Merle’s distraction Van is able to free himself and Hitomi and tries once more to retrieve his guymelef. Hitomi tries running away but before she could get any further, the ground suddenly opens up in front of her and before she knows it, she’s tumbling down into the earth’s center.
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby, baby
______Like a vision, an angel appears out of the sky, the same one Hitomi saw many times in her dreams, and she reaches out for his hand…the hand that she knew would save her and bring her to safety…
*You're my angel
Come and save me tonight
______Hitomi opens her eyes to a sound beside her and struggles to read the message that Amano had sent her. A flood of memories come rushing back to her and she feels the tears come once more. A feather brushes past her and she looks up in confusion to see the face of the angel that has haunted her dreams so many times before. " Van," she whispers in amazement…
You're my angel
Come and make it alright
______Van finally reveals to Hitomi the story of his life and Hitomi begins to understand why exactly Van seemed so rough and closed about life. Smiling, she touches the feather that so many people thought was cursed and says softly, as she raises her eyes to met his, " I don’t care what other people say but I think your wings are beautiful…"
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight*
______And I think you’re beautiful, Van thought to himself. But instead, he just smiled at her and turned back to the wheel. Maybe he’d tell her someday. But for now, he was content with having to get to know each other first. After all, they had a long way to go and there was plenty enough time for those unsaid words later.
______And the silhouette of a dragon flew across the tips of the trees and into the welcoming darkness below…
