Regret Message

"I will tell you, a secret lore."

- Allen Avadonia

Regret Message is a song released by Akuno-P on May 25, 2008. It is the third song in Story of Evil, following after the events of The Servant of Evil.

Plot
The song starts in a harbor outside a town where Riliane stands alone. She recalls a legend that Allen once told her that states that if she writes a wish, puts it inside a bottle and throws it out to sea, her wish will come true. As such, Riliane writes down a wish in a bottle and sets it out herself. Recalling on her past, she regrets her actions as she realizes how selfish she was and how Allen would follow her every command, even when it caused him pain. She hopes the ocean will express her gratitude. She writes her wish with the words, "if we could be reborn again."
