Consolation Prize
(( Sei get’s crushed in all good endings except for the true ending…))
The world is falling down around me. I can only stand to watch everything fall to the ground. It reminds me of the leaves that change color and flake off of the trees onto the Earth below to feed the soil in order to fertilize the ground. I have read about it many times in books.
But right now, the place I once called my home is falling. I will soon also become one with the Earth from which I came.
I stand up from my red throne and float as the ground collapses at my feet. Soon, it is gone completely.
I am floating in the mess of rumble and rock falling down upon me.
Glass, metal, concrete- it is all floating.
Time feels like it has gone still.
I continue to look up at the sky for the first time in my life. Now that the glass that protected the entire Jail had been slightly broken, I can see something bright.
It is the sun.
I have never seen the sun before.
Currently, I am floating and surrounded by beautiful shards of glass that shimmer in the sunlight. The sun looks warm and welcoming, yet I am cold and weak. I reach out for the sun, but I never make it.
The world begins to darken all over again when a large chunk of rock blocks my view from above and falls. It becomes bigger and bigger until it touches my head.
I stop floating and am returned to the ground.
I can no longer see.
I can no longer feel.
I can no longer hear.
I can no longer speak.
Silence fills my world once again and my breath falls short.
I am not sorrowful for myself, nor am I in need for revenge.
I do not hate Toue, the Alphas, Trip and Virus, or anyone from the Tower. I feel like they have simply lost their way. But soon, they will find it.
I do not feel like I had ‘so much to live for’ or ‘potential to become a better person.’ I am too weak for that and I lack the knowledge for it.
I do not wish that I could have passed a different way.
No, not at all.
I feel happy for once.
My wish had finally been completed. I can die and rest in peace. I can no longer have to fear about what the day will bring me, what tests I will have, nor what sort of abuse my body must go through.
I am at peace.
Thank you, Aoba. This is the end I have been longing for.
Despite my wonderful ending, I do have one small regret.
I wish I could have stayed in the sun for a bit longer and talk about everything with my younger brother. I wish that we could become close and talk and talk. I wish…
I wish he knew I existed.
((WHAT HAVE YOU DONE..but..but that was beautiful… ))
