Music Intro: Quiet, somber piano, cello.)
(D) Daniel, (M) Monika, (S) Sayori, (N) Natsuki, (Y) Yuri, (ALL) All Dokis
(Verse 1 - Daniel, concise regret)
The battle's now over, Libitina's hold fades,
The monster she made me, through dark masquerades.
I was trapped by her will, watched the horror unfold,
This shame for the pain caused will never grow old.
(Chorus 1 - Daniel, concise shame & decision)
This guilt is a shadow, beyond my control,
The evil inside me has taken its toll.
I must walk away now, and tear us apart.
(Verse 2 - Daniel, concise departure)
The trust I have wrecked, the love I betrayed,
I'll fade in the grey now, the price must be paid.
You deserve peace and sunshine, not shadows I cast,
This goodbye, I swear, it must be my last.
(Bridge - Dokis' Intervention, more direct)
(M) "Daniel, don't go!" (S) "Please don't walk out that door!"
(N) "After all this, you think we'd want no more?"
(Y) "That darkness, we saw it, it tried to take hold,"
(M) "But the real you is shining, more precious than gold!"
(Chorus 2 - The Dokis, concise forgiveness & plea)
(S) That shadow, it wasn't your choice, not your way!
(N) We heard your true spirit that dark, dreadful day!
(Y) The pain that it caused, we won't let it define,
(M) Forgiveness and love are the ultimate sign!
(ALL) We love you, dear Daniel! Please stay!
(This is where your provided lyrics for Daniel's turning point and the finale slot in perfectly):
(Verse 3 - Daniel, voice overwhelmed, tears of relief, slowly finding strength)
Your words... like a sunrise... chasing the night...
This hug... this acceptance... it feels like a light...
I thought I was lost, to the shame and the dread,
But your love is a lifeline, pulling me from the dead...
(Looks at each of them, a fragile hope in his eyes)
Could this truly be real? After all I have done?
(Final Chorus - All, including Daniel joining with growing conviction; music soars, full band, orchestral, triumphant)
(ALL) This love is the power that conquers all pain!
(ALL) Washing the shadows like a healing, soft rain!
(D) No monster can break us, (ALL) no evil can part,
(ALL) When friendship and true love reside in the heart!
(D) I'll stay, and I'll heal now, (ALL) our new story will start!
(ALL) Together, we'll mend every fragment and shard!
(Outro - Music becomes gentle, warm, and fades out slowly with a beautiful, resolved melody. Perhaps a soft, shared laugh or sigh of relief.)
(M, S, N, Y - softly, almost a whisper together) Love wins...
(D - a contented sigh) ...Love always wins.
(Final, warm, sustained chord.)
