I don't know if you knew him, but I had a friend. A quiet dragon friend named Shin-ah. I guess he had to go back to his home and be with his friends there.

[He really liked Shin-ah, for all that they were different people. He would definitely be missed.]

The other person that left? Shinjiro Aragaki. I think you heard me talk about him before. One of the teenagers that I started looking after.

[Auron's voice is naturally raspy but it seems to get even more so as he's starting to contain whatever strong feelings he has about Shinji's leave taking.]
