Spotlight for Shion, whooo!
I would call her underrated but she barely shows up lol, so her lack of popularity is pretty understandable. I'm going to be honest: I'm not a humongous Shion fan. Like the rest of the fandom, I like her and that's about it. Not really many strong feelings, mostly just "wow she's pretty! And nice! And caring! And protective!" Ok, so her whole character is just "I am mom", which, you know, isn't bad but also isn't mindblowing
Anyway, as you can tell by the english subs of the video I used, I deviated A LOT from the original song mostly because I felt that singing something close to the original lyrics would sound really awkward, so I mostly just used the original song as a baseline and focused on trying to get across Shion's character and feelings.
This song slaps btw. My mind was blown when I first heard this song in its entirety

Lyrics:
Memories of the past now flying by
To the days where you were by my side.
“Please stay with me till I close my eyes”
Looking back upon our old story
Falling rain while you sleep happily
I hope you’ll smile tomorrow morning
There’s a world outside you do not fear.
I’m so sorry that you must stay here.
You’re just the only one that I hold dear.
Yes, I know that you think it’s just for me.
Everyday I won’t stop worrying.
But it’s ok if you forgive me.
Now, the world’s trying to spin out of my control
Promise I won’t let it harm my only loved one at all
“Don’t look in their eyes”
The world right now won’t treat you very kind.
Please don’t wander outside, stay with me, promise we’ll be alright
I hated yesterday and the world that tried to rob me
But through you, I have changed and for you I will love tomorrow
One day, you’ll meet someone who will love you like a family
And hopefully by then we will have moved past our sorrow
Maybe you’ll finally truly be at rest
It would fill up my heart, I’d be overflowing tears of gladness
In the dark, everything’s standing still.
The land beyond seems so surreal.
But I know outside the world’s a cold place.
Someday, the sun will be shining bright.
Till that day, I’ll keep you by my side.
Even so, I know that you want to live life.
As I lie awake through dragging nights,
suddenly a memory reignites.
A somber sadness back from the old days.
Everyday waiting for miracles
Everyday hoping for new and old
And still life never seemed to have changed.
But even still the days will not stop ending
I had finally learned to appreciate and love my own self.
I finally felt free!
I’m sure that someday you will feel the same.
Look upon the world and smile, you’ll find people who won’t go away
Though time is ever fleeting, though someday I’ll be leaving
I hope you will still love me and try your best to be happy.
Until you have become strong, I’ll help you to move along
Or so I would’ve thought but sadly, sorry for being wrong
But the future will come knocking still anyway,
I’d like you to face it with a bright soul, ready for a new day
Leaving a world behind I’d come to love
Leaving a sad goodbye, the words you’ve heard enough
I’m so sorry that I cannot be there
But I promise that one day you won’t be scared
Because you’ll find somebody else
Who will stay with you, won’t leave you by yourself
I can already hear your cries drift away
Once again, the rain starts falling down
Looks like you finally found out.
Even now, I can hear your teardrop fall
Even still, I can hear your lonely call
