my final post forthe rpg ☝
"" Farewell. . .
Goodnight.
To a dream.
Wouldn't it be crazy if this was all a dream, and they'd wake up back in an inn somewhere. Not in Inazuma, not in their lonely little house. Just away from everything. Free from the knowledge that they were less than human.
. .They can't tell if that would be nice.
( They didn't want to forget, remember? But there's still guilt, and there's still hurt. There's still some kind of resentment towards themself. )
I am alive. I am breathing. This is living. This is being alive. Or, something like it. There's still something thrumming under my skin. And I think that's what keeps me standing.
There's something more within me, hidden away. I think I want to learn more about myself. Is that a bad thing? Will you forgive me for it?
A single flap of a butterfly wing. . .
Things change.
They watch Dottore walk away. They watch Jinlong and Shizu walk away.
( . . . Is there a happy ending for someone like me?
I'm not a princess. But I was never really a knight, either.
I was just playing pretend. To escape. Because I wanted to give myself a purpose.
I am not mindless. I am not broken. )
There's a place where Ayume belongs. There could be two places, if the universe allowed it. If the people who offered allowed it.
Whatever happened, at least they wouldn't be alone.
At least they belonged.
And they were happy with that.
Good morning, here's to another day. ""
