Best Friends ... Dio and Lucciola
Left: Dio Eraclea
Right: Lucciola
The meeting of these two was promised. But Delphine had nothing to do with this fate. Dio and Lucciola are like two wings of a bird. One existence between two people.
Dio called Lucciola a friend. Staying alongside one another is a natural existence, and they're a single irreplaceable existence to one another that they mustn't lose. Therefore Dio feared it. The ritual to become an adult means devoting everything to the Maestro, there's no friend or freedom in Delphine's sky.
Lucciola called Dio his friend in front of Delphine. The Maestro of the Guild and everything. Other than loyalty to the Maestro, there is nothing. But Lucciola vowed to dedicate his life to Dio, from that day Dio called him his friend.
Lucciola, in order to give Dio his freedom, fought against the Guild and died. But Dio, who had his heart crushed by Delphine, disappeared into the Grand Stream.
Two people were torn apart, but their hearts joined together as one again in the Grand Stream. Like two wings of a bird. And, the flapping of their wings was powerful. To the land of the blue star to carve out a new history...
Text under screencaps:
Dio and Lucciola met when they were children. For the first time, there was a presence that eased Dio's heart.
Dio worried and cared about Lucciola. Lucciola was deeply moved by it. This was the beginning of a relationship that went beyond that of a master-servant.
The unbridled Dio got a taste of a life of true freedom on board the Silvana. But it was also a prelude to tragedy.
