As our friendship grew, I got to learn more about you. Although I must admit, there were times when it was difficult to know what was wrong or what kind of things which had troubled you. I do remember one incident, that time when Ryo-kun came back. I only have a vague clue of the words I had spoken, but I could never forget how much it affected you and what it did to your relationship with Ryo-kun. I could never forget how happy you were nor how grateful you were to me. But I wasn't the only one who had something to teach. I had learned from you too, Ami-chan.

You always saw right through, and purged on with the fight even when everything has completely vanished... You have taught me to become a better warrior. Ami-chan, you shall always be one of the greatest inspirations in my life. You have taught me to become a better and loyal friend with the way you stood up for me. You have taught and given me inner strength. You have given these to me, enabled me to possess them. They are a part of me now, and you're the one who's responsible for it.
