チェンソーマン: ASSASSINS ARC

dir. by: Tatsuya Yoshihara

☆ angst ! ★ your life fades out in their arms...

Aki

☆ He knew this would happen. Everyone and everything around him died before he could do anything about it. Hell, he even saw with his own devil your fate, yet he was foolish enough to try to change it. Even if it was for a little while, he had learned to harness hope; at least that part of you remained within him.

With whatever free time he had, he'd spend it talking to a small photo frame; it was the only one that you two ever took, your body being cremated. He'd smoke alongside it; he knew you didn't like it, but you couldn't have blamed him; every part of his life felt empty now.

Denji

☆ For so long now, Denji had tried to convince himself that he harbored no real feelings towards anything. Sure, he might have been a little sad before, but why was he this distraught over you? You were just a pair of lips to kiss, but now none called his name, none made him feel wanted or cherished, and none would fill that warmth that once surrounded him. He found himself thinking about you so much that it drove him mad; it made him shed his first tears in so long—he had forgotten how they tasted. He missed you so much that he could barely function anymore; there was no motivation in his life at all, and he couldn't possibly move on. That was until someone tried to fill in your shoes.

Power

☆ It was no surprise at all that Power deemed herself above any other human being and their emotions, but no one could believe her reaction as she saw your mangled body. Before, she would laugh off any human that died near her, deeming them too weak. Now, however, no force, human or not, could stop her from wanting to tear to shreds whoever did this to her beloved. That search fueled her enough so that she could not stop for a single second to truly consider what it meant for you to be truly gone. Part of her hoped that when she returned home, you would magically be there to love her once more.

Himeno

☆ Himeno knew that this would happen eventually, but still she would hold on to that foolish hope, hope that you would never leave her side, just like you promised. Hope that she would not be alone again, that you wouldn't go down like the rest. That you two could someday move out and live together. It was so foolishly stupid that for those precious days, she truly was happy. Now she had to bare that burden, that horrible image that tormented her while she tried to sleep, the weight of your words disappearing as she took to drinking again, trying to drown out your memory, to go back to how she was before, without that pain, without hope.

Kobeni

☆ She couldn't take it anymore; she couldn't, she just couldn't anymore. Her fears, her tears, and everything that she hated about herself would resurface every single day in your absence. She had no one to blame but herself; she could rarely get some sleep, if any at all. That scene was playing over and over in her mind every time she closed her eyes. She couldn't take it; she was so sorry that she disappointed you, but you would never know.

Angel

☆ Angel's fingers would trace around your skin, caressing every single part of your face. He had finally been able to do what he had always wished for; he could finally know what your body felt like, how your lips tasted, and how your warmth felt against his own, but quickly your body felt cold, and his illusion was shattered as he now had to face the reality that the only thing that was worth anything in his life was no more. He was happy in a way that your end was met not by your wounds, but by his own touch. It gave you a peaceful and loving end, but now, as your body was covered by his wings, would he feel alone again?

He spent a while staring at you; no one dared to touch him, and he liked it that way. Your tranquil expression was the only thing that stopped his tears from running wild, and once your body was removed, a part of him left alongside it.

Reze

☆ Deep down inside, Reze knew that her dream was just that, a dream. Eventually she would wake up. She just didn't want it to be this way. Somehow, you managed to convince her that she wasn't just someone's toy, that she could truly live, and that, if she truly wanted to, she could be free from her chains. It was a childish dream, as reality soon struck her and she was left alone again.

She had never been anything, and she could never be; it was just a matter of time before they reminded her who she belonged to, and her entire life longed for a dream once again, only this time, it had a face, and it called to her every single night.

Kishibe

☆ Death was all he knew, and it seemed that death was all he could have. Even those who were the most experienced could make mistakes; it was just so that your mistake cost you what little Kishibe had. He held you in his arms as you slowly bled out. He kept his cool; he didn't want you to experience suffering during your last moments. He shared some drinks with you and talked about some dumb, stupid things as he slowly noticed your consciousness start to spit out nonsense; he could even land a chuckle or two. But when you stopped responding, everything that had been bubbling up inside released, and it would not stop; it never would, not even years after, not even when he himself met his end. They never stopped.

Makima

☆ Makima had made a mistake; something in her plan failed, and it cost you your life. As she stared at your remains, her face barely contorted. This was just a small setback; she could recover. Her true goal was within her reach; your survival meant little in the grand scheme of things. You were just a pet, a simple entertainment as she focused on things far larger than what you could have ever imagined.

But maybe it was just those movies that she kept watching, but a side of her couldn't look away, a side of her left a tear to mark her presence, a tear that she never acknowledged but one that made her consider who she was.
