first.song: meroko
It is just past midnight, and the
cold, distant moon is the only thing that pierces through the
darkness. Fingers of pale
light search blindly in the dark, grasping
silently at the night. The moonlight settles on Meroko Yui, it's
embrace engulfing
her like a thin blanket, although it brings more
chill than warmth. Meroko Yui, who is wrapped in the moonlight, is
sitting
next to a window, in a room that is not hers, but that she
knows quite well. She is sitting in a house that is not her own, but
that could have been, now that she thinks about it. She is sitting in
a room with a girl that is not her granddaughter, but might have
been had she done things differently, and with a boy that is still her
partner, but nothing more. In
this room that is not hers, she is thinking about the life she could
have had, the life that she threw away, and the existence she is
leading now. She is thinking about love, and about loss, and about
the pain caused by both. Soon the thoughts turn to memories, and the
memories turn to tears, and Meroko Yui finds herself sobbing
silently, in a place where she is and has nothing, with only the moon
to hold her.
