I love your hands.
Statements like that didn't mean anything anymore, and it had been an odd thing to say. I appreciated it anyways.
Memories from a life that didn't exist anymore dripped into the present, though I tried to forget them.
I know it's odd, but you have such lovely hands, Gonou.
Gonou. A name that didn't matter anymore. It was a hideous name but she always said it so sweetly. Everything was right in her mouth and eyes.
You make such beautiful things with these hands. You pass knowledge. You shape minds.
People say that you had to let go of the past. But how? How could we when it shapes our present? Our future? It shaped our love.
So no. I won't let go.
I love your hands especially because they are a part of you.
I will shoulder it because everyone else involved is dead. I will wear that blood-that stain- because no one who deserves it is alive-other then me. And I will keep looking West because there is no where else to go-the final frontier.
And one day, I may burn away the blood and I may give Kannan a burial-not for my sake, but because she deserves it. I can give her that.
And I try not to think about it. Because I am not unhappy. Nor am I alone.
But sometimes…I can't help but wonder…
I love your hands.
I wonder if you could love them now.
The End.
