X.

That was what they called him.

X for the scar he bore across his pale face.

X like a nameless, faceless character. Just like hero, and nothing more.

X like an experiment. "Add Copper (II) Sulphate to Solution X to form a white precipitate..."

X like the cross that marked the spot on a treasure map.

X like the red ink smears on a school kid's paper, denoting a wrong answer.

X, like him.

Rurouni Kenshin slit his wrist quickly, and soon, a hollow lifeless shell of X was lying lifelessly on the stone, cold-blooded floor.
