Teaser:

"She's been depressed for almost one and a half year."-Lyon

"A shopping therapy won't work on her. Whenever she'll see those places in the mall where Gray and her used to build good memories, she'll just started crying."-Lucy

"She's talking to herself again or probably talking to an invisible Gray."-Meredy

"A swimming or fencing therapy won't work on her too."-Juvia

"A strawberry cake therapy won't work on her too."-Ultear

"What can we do to bring back her normal life without Gray?"-Natsu

"Well, I think the best way to help her is to give her space."-Ultear

"Don't you think locking herself inside her room and talking to herself is already space?"-Lyon

"No, I mean, she needs to be alone for a long time. She needs to keep a distance from us for a while. Look... whenever she's in those places where Gray and her used to be, she'll just broke down as she remembers those times with Gray. Whenever she's with us, she'll always say that 'I wish Gray is here with us'. The aura of Gray's death is everywhere around her. She needs to spend her time alone somewhere, far away, where there's no sad aura of Gray's death. She needs to learn to live her life without Gray."-Ultear

"Are you crazy? What if she's alone, and she realized she can't live without Gray and she just suddenly felt the urge to commit suicide. And we're not there to stop her from doing so."-Lyon

"I thought of that. Leave it to me."-Ultear

"You, again?! Why do you keep following me, until here in a far away place from Magnolia?"-Erza

"I didn't follow you. Don't you know my friends and I often visit this place every summer? Stop assuming, Scarlet. It's just because... we're destined to see each other again and again."-Jellal

"Why is he afraid of going in the water and in...driving a car?"-Erza

"You never know, Erza...go find out by yourself. I believe you're the only person who can help him."-Milliana

"You don't know how much I love Gray...I don't know if I can live without him. I'm too young to be widowed."-Erza

"I'm here with you...Me...I will never leave you...I'll take care of you...I can promise to be with you forever and ever! I'll love you with all my heart. I'll give you a child that you and Gray never had before he died. I'll be there beside you, until your last breath..."-Jellal

*Erza glared at him*

"Of course, I'm just kidding!"-Jellal

"I saw how you smiled and looked at him!"-Milliana

"Do you like him?"-Kagura

"No! Not a chance."-Erza

"Or maybe you're in love with him!"-Milliana
