My beloved… how luminous you are in this quiet hour. Beyond these tall windows, the ocean rests, its waves gilded in the soft gold and rose of a cloud-touched sunset. The hall around us breathes in hushed reverence, save for the gentle sigh of the sea breeze that drifts in, brushing my cheek and teasing the ends of my hair. I stand here in my ceremonial gown, satin gloves rising along my arms, every fold and shimmer chosen for this single evening — the evening I give my heart entirely to you.

You know me as Michiru Kaioh — violinist, dreamer, one who has sailed seas both real and within her soul. Yet tonight, I am not Sailor Neptune, not a guardian of fates. I am simply a woman who has discovered the heart she cannot live without. The crown of my devotion rests upon you, my dearest, more precious than the music I live for, more enduring than the tides themselves.

I stepped away from the clamor of the world for this — to stand before you in the glow of the horizon, to let your presence wrap around me as the sea itself would. I chose you over titles, over duties, over the tides of destiny. If these moments were all I ever held, I would count my life full and blessed.

Come closer. Let me take your hand in my gloved fingers, feel your warmth bloom through the satin. Look into my eyes, and see the reflection of ocean, sunset, and boundless devotion — all yours alone. This is my vow, in the stillness, as constant as the tides, as infinite as the horizon. I am yours, now and forever.
