My first Sestuka piece. I think she is very pretty and misunderstood.

Disclaimer- I don't own NAMCO.

Loneliness s a feeling I know to well. I'm an outsider walking alone on this path-trying to find my way. It feels like I've been on this road forever- it's end never in sight. This is just the life of a loner-trying to find her way.

"O-Nii-san! Why?" I hear a small voice cry as I approach a small village. As I get closer my I can hear the girl cry then eventually see her. She's on her knees with her face burrowed in her hands. Her sobbing causes her body to tremor, she's no more than eleven or twelve. I kneel beside her. "What's wrong?"

"M-my brother he killed h-himself…"She looks up to me her face stained with tears. I wrap my arms around her realizing that I saw myself in her

"it'll be okay…"

"No it won't…h-he was the only one I had!" The girl cries. I remember those long years ago when my master died I was an outcast alone-longing for love but always pushed away . He was the only one that kept me company and loved me. And I realize I don't have a right to complain because this girl needs someone and that someone is going to be me. I wrap her in the arms of my kimono. "What's your name little girl?"

"Setsuka…" She answers softly.

"Mine's too. What a coincidence…"

She looks down. "Are you sure everything's gonna be okay? I'm all alone."

"I tilt her face up. "Yes, it'll be just fine because you're not alone."

Constructive criticism is appreciated!
