[ Allen pauses at that then, before he turns Lux. Head cocked to the side with such a small but gently wrought sort of smile. ]

...when we fought him, he was inconsolable and mad with rage against her, thinking we were part of her return. But in death, he wanted his last words to be for her and her alone.

With them, it seemed like he was finally at peace.

So I think, perhaps, because he could finally admit that and his soul finally found peace—[ even if only in death ]—that's why the fortress collapsed finally and freed the island. Because where he fell, there was also the feather of a phoenix. [ One that, presumably... he'd held onto all those years.

One that Allen had held onto then. ]

That's why it was sad, being a place that existed because of his feelings like that. Because everything that happened was because he loved her and couldn't accept that or her.

So it's appropriate I think, that this inn is named like this.

[ It honors the feelings of the dead. Something that Allen appreciates more than most people can understand. ]
