"There's a line in it that perfectly describes how I feel right now."
"When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with someone, you want that rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
"The rest of my life is both long and short."
"It is called long because it is indeed very long compared to a human lifespan of 100 years."
"I say it's short because I feel it's not enough, even if I added a few more zeros to the end, I still wouldn't feel it's enough."
"Unfortunately, my desires will certainly never be satisfied."
"That's why we should make the most of every day from now on."
"Although we have no experience in this as a duo, I am full of confidence for the future."
"Although, I think we will definitely encounter some problems in our future lives."
"Perhaps, like everyone else, I will eventually succumb to the mundane."
"We might argue over trivial matters; we might worry about the increasingly mundane routine of life..."
"However, I am not worried that these pebbles will affect my steps as I walk alongside you."
"On the contrary, I think these things can help us move forward more smoothly."
Before I begin the rest of my life, I want to tell you...
"I believe that some things were destined on the day we met."
"The more than ten years we've known each other have made me more determined."
"And today, I swear to you."
"I will not become the husband I imagine myself to be, but the husband you approve of and the husband you need."
"If you ever lose your way in the future, I will guide you."
"When you feel tired, I will stay by your side and take care of you."
"This is my promise to you."
"I will remember this forever."
"Because of your arrival, my life has become complete."
Guangyou choked up as he said this.
He frowned, adjusted his breathing, and managed to keep the tears that had been welling up in his eyes from falling.
Without the emcee needing to say anything, Ai took over after Kōyū finished speaking.
Her eyes were also a little red, and there was a layer of mist on them. She spoke intermittently:
“I used to think this day would never come.”
"Like you, I used to think this was a pipe dream."
"Then, after that rainy day, I met you."
"You didn't make a good first impression on me; I found you strange."
"I doubt your identity. I'm wondering who you really are and why you're approaching me."
"But as we've known each other longer, the impression you've left on me has become more and more profound."
"I don't know from which day it started, but when I'm happy, you're the first person that comes to mind. I want to share all of this with you."
"When I'm sad, I want to confide in you."
"Even though I have no experience, I realize that I must have fallen for you."
“I was worried about this and thought about running away.”
"You've always been by my side, patiently taking care of my immature self."
"Right now, I only have one thought in my mind."
"I hope I can walk forward with you."
"Actually, many people have asked me that question too."
Why do you like him?
Jonouchi, one of the bridesmaids, smiled somewhat shyly.
She had asked Ai Haibara this question before.
Coming back to her senses, she focused her attention on Ai and continued listening to her speak.
“I used to answer ‘all of you’.”
"Today, I seem to have a clearer understanding of some things."
The reason I like you is because you are the person I need.
"It is precisely because I realize that you are indispensable to me that I want to make this promise to you on this special day."
"In the days to come, I will always be by your side, just like you are."
"I will do my best to take care of you and our home."
"I don't know what will happen in the future, or how things will turn out."
"At this moment, there is only one thing I am certain of: I have never been happier than I am now."
"Choosing to stay by your side for the rest of my life is the happiest thing I've ever done, and the best decision I've ever made."
After hearing what Ai said, Kōyū's tears, which he had managed to suppress, began to well up again.
As he composed himself, he reached out and wiped Ai's eyes, saying:
"No matter who I am, I belong to you."
"It feels so good to be by your side. I can't think of any better place."
"Stop talking." Ai frowned, trying hard to suppress the tears that seemed about to spill from her eyes with a smile.
She said in a voice that was clearly nasal:
"Your simple 'hello' was enough to make me...fall for you."
Seeing her like this, Guangyou pulled her into his arms, holding her with one arm and gently stroking her hair with the other.
A few seconds later, Ayumi, who was standing next to them, very perceptively brought out the rings that the two of them had prepared.
Feeling that Ai's emotions had stabilized a bit, Kōyū let go of her, took the ring from the side, took her left hand, took off her glove, and put it on her ring finger.
Ai also composed herself and put a ring on Kousuke's finger as well.
Kōyō, who had been holding back his tears, frowned deeply the moment Ai placed the ring on his finger, and tears streamed down his cheeks.
This was a scene that had appeared in his dreams many times before.
