You were always as beautiful in character as you were in appearance. What I wanted to say is that I l........" Rail stopped, afraid to continue. What if she rejected him? What if she laughed at him? Rail was beginning to sweat, feeling like the eyes of the entire guild were focused on him. Then, his words to Fielo came to forefront of his mind.

Would he really let himself live with such a heavy burden. Screwing together all his courage, Rail swiftly blurted out exactly what he had to say. "I LOVE YOU, MIRAJANE!" If their eyes weren't on him before, surely the guild must be looking at him now.
