PHILEMON: TO GET THEIR ANSWER, PART TWO.

And all of that...had brought us to now.

"Makoto Yuki is going to die in your final battle against the Shadows. He will give his very soul to save all of yours, and, through impossible odds, attain a power so immense in its scope that not even I would be able to render it accessible to mortals as I am. He will then continue on living the rest of his days for another few months, a soulless and forgotten husk of skin and meat wandering around and dying slowly. On March 5, 2010, his brain will shut down. Only one will remain by his side at that time, and you all will attempt to reach him only to find him unfeeling. Mere days later, he will perish; pallid, cold, withered, and ultimately just another corpse to the rest of the world."

All I had to do was see their faces to get their answer.
