Life Goes On With Or Without You

“you’re watching rick and morty but your IQ is still low as ever .”

“yeah ...  i guess we do .”  he was taken aback for a moment , it was rare that he opened himself up , rarer still that someone would genuinely attempt to connect with him .  “he wanted me to become a big time swimmer .  like he was in high school .”  battle worm fingers twitch insistently , thumbs twiddling ; he couldn’t will himself to maintain eye contact with her .  “i tried , but ...  it was hard when i had to transfer schools every few years .”       

“i dunno about you but I see the same people every day ...  and the only thing that's not the same is that they're dressed in a different way .”

“ daddy was dumb .  said that I’d be something special , brought me up tough but I was a gentle human .  said that he loved each of my two million freckles ...  when I grew up was gonna be a superstar .”

im gonna regret this but short lyric starter call...

anyway stan yu narukami

the world arcana is the accumulated power of every bond yu has made , and while most arcana that represent the relationships he has forged reach a natural end point ; the world continues to grow with every new connection he makes .  while the universe and its abstract , amorphous nature allows the manipulation of reality itself , the world’s power is far simpler in concept .  it represents the completion of the fool’s journey , but also the ability to continue moving forward and growing indefinitely .  in essence , allowing yu , or anyone that holds the arcana access to a limitless well of tangible power that is able to grant as much as what the holder is willing to put in ; in this case , improving oneself and creating and maintaining new bonds .

“no ...  it just means i have to fill them out again ...”  picking up the papers , now soaked in the freshly brewed tea he’d poured for himself ; he took a breath , finding his centre almost instantly .  “as much as i’d like to skip school , it’s my third year, i need to get into a good university.”  it hadn’t even been a month since he’d returned to the city , and he’d already found an odd character to make his life less drab.  he was thankful , but he seemed like a lot to handle.  

“those were my transfer papers ayano ...   i need those to get into school .”  he’s clearly struggling to hold himself together ; five minutes of this cult child was more than he’s ever had to deal with in his life .
