Ponte dei Sospiri (English: The Bridge of Sighs) is one of many bridges in Venice built in the 16th century. The bridge is of white limestone and has windows with stone bars, the summit of this enclosed bridge. It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.
The view from the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment. The bridge name, given by Lord Byron in the 19th century, comes from the suggestion that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice out the window before being taken down to their cells. In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built, and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals.

Takashi rushes in through an old wooden door, looking back over the canal through one of the windows. He sighes. Good, we're safe now.

"What about Judge? Will he be safe? Why did he stay there? Or did he go elsewhere?"

Takashi laughed, his hand on her rear end... He ordered me to go, I go. I don't ask questions.

Takashi groaned and let go, also letting her gently fall to her feet onto the floor. Once she was down he looked up at the ceiling and dropped backwards with tears streaming down his face.

"Takashi-san?? What is the matter?" She inquired while stepping towards him and taking a handkerchief from her small purse to hold out.

Mitsukai paused and stared at him for a moment before speaking. "Takashi-san...it is alright. You were...You got us out of there safely. Thank you."

Takashi scooted closer and "slyly" reached for her rear end once again.

As he moved closer, Mitsukai held out the handkerchief once more then quickly withdrew it as well as herself when upon noticing Takashi's hand. "Do you think that is truly prop...that it is safe here?" The girl had changed her question in hopes of preventing another tantrum.

Takashi grabs a handful of her rear end and grins from ear to ear without responding. Drool started to seep from the corner of his mouth.

Samael pushes open the door and sees Takashi. He sighs and then strikes him with a chair. Knock it off.

"J-Judge...thank you and thank goodness you're here and safe as well." Mitsukai moved closer to him and further away from Takashi as she spoke.
