"A Love For Peace"
By: Strange Mikoto
I have been walking this land for some time now. My partner in "crime" lags behind, and for good reason. I could never carry that cross; his trademark weapon, I guess you could say. Wolfwood is a good man fighting for the same cause as me. Love, and peace.
My mind is on the enemy. I wonder if we can beat him and sometimes doubt that peace is a reality. This is the way most men of Gunsmoke reason, but my will is strong and I can usually brush off the problems in my own life for those of the people. I don't want anymore suffering.
Wolfwood always asks, "How many more people have to die?" He doesn't know what it's really like, though. No one does. The people I loved, the ones dear to me, are gone because of me. I was naïve, Rem. You were the only thing that mattered. I didn't see him change. I wasn't aware of his hatred. But soon…
This barren planet is all that is left. It seems that even now I cause death and destruction where ever I go. Did you know it would be like this? Is that why you spent so much time with Knives and myself? I'll try my best, Rem. I know he has to be punished for his mistakes. Even so, won't killing him make me the same? To kill my own brother… I don't want to become a monster, Rem! I don't want to look in the mirror and see him. Please give me the strength and love to overcome him. For peace.
