VERSION 1:

Was lowk just experimenting with this but I'm lowk so proud of it 🤭🤭

EDIT: VERSION 2

Unrequited love.

An entertaining trope in literary mediums, and a hell to suffer from in the real world.

You wouldn’t wish such pain on your greatest enemy, but alas, the powers beyond your control have bestowed such a tragedy in your own life.

She didn’t love you, nonetheless truly acknowledge your existence.

The Guuji of the Grand Narukami Shrine was regarded as a flirt, a devious trickerster, but never an ugly woman.

Her elegance was boundless; irrevocably unparalleled in a world where nameless beauties lived and died being nothing more than a vague memory, but Yae Miko was unforgettable.

Whispers would warn of her false kindness. A heartless creature with a pretty face forced to show mercy to worthless humans for the sake of her God’s approval, but you could hardly blame her.

Why should a kitsune wise beyond her years and ageless beyond mankind’s ability be expected to lower herself to such beings?

You let yourself fall for the fake smiles and sweet lies.

A shrine maiden quickly muttering to Yae Miko whenever you approached told you everything you already knew. Your muse did not remember your name, nor did she care to.

She’d welcome you with gentle words and a warm hand on your shoulder, but the unfamiliarity flickering in her eyes was the only real thing about her.

Deluding yourself into a false sense of care was better than facing the reality of the tragedy at hand.

You prayed to the gods you didn’t believe in that when Yae Miko turned her back on you for good, your death would be painless.

Suicide in the face of unrequited love is not unheard of, but blood needn’t spill for you to die.

One needn’t stop breathing to be gone from this world.

And physical pain needn’t be inflicted for you to feel your insides rip out from your pathetic, weak human form.

For the day Yae Miko faces you without lies, you will already be dead.

I wrote this in maybe 15 minutes and I love Yae Miko. Angst on a random Thursday morning because yes.
