ok i am still not ready, this hurts! yuri always ends alone...yet those words always made my hearth cry "thank you for everything ,karen!" I always think that yuri was indeed a trully strong man, he did suffer a lot: loss, fear, danger and despair, yet he still fighted, even agains the inevitable: he fought. alice made his heart warm again and saved him and then when he lost her, he continued, but karen acompanied him, and made him happy again. oh shadow hearts...i loved "from the new world", it was damn fun, yet i do would have like that the third one made a clousure to the game. even then, im thankfull to shadow hearts, it has been years, but at the time it trully gave lots of fun playing and a story that moved my heart as not one has before.
