Everyone envies childhood-sweetheart romances, but they say meeting someone early is not as good as meeting them at the right time. In the male protagonist's world, the female protagonist is his only salvation. He once told her, "You're the only light I have left. I will protect you, no matter what." That short vow lasted far, far into the future. She remained by his side, and so did his promise.
