->"Serena, I don't know about love and all that other stuff, but I know that I love having you by my side. From the time we reunited in Santalune City, you've done nothing but encourage me and drive me forward. I might've given up if not for you, and the same thing happened with Zinnia. I heard you calling for me, and it made me get up again and keep moving forward. So, if wanting to keep you by my side means it's love…then…I love you, too, Serena."
