An insertion on Soshi's thoughts after he found the manual on Nightly Series 01. (TV show based)
I'm sorry. I just had to write something down after I watched Zettai Kareshi. A great show as it is, it made my heart break. Wonderfully made. :)
Musings
How could I ever compete with an appliance…no…a guy, made exactly according to her preferences, and has been programmed to love Riiko?
More so, I had to fall for THAT girl.
I seem to always fall for the wrong girl. Three years ago, it was Natsumi. Sure, she made the practical choice, and I hated her for it, but then, feelings that have long passed cannot be returned. Now that I have someone else—Riiko—I cannot accept Natsumi's feelings anymore.
I was so sure that something is odd about Night, and seeing that book, or manual, however it may be called, could Riiko really have love for him?
I left immediately after I saw that book, I had no idea how to react. I guess my brother's right as well, I usually run away. But I can't run away now, can I?
Now, here I am in the bar, contemplating where I really stand in Riiko's life.
Riiko's a great girl, I wonder why she would let herself be loved by a robot. But maybe, it may be because of guys like me as well. It took a long time before I took notice how great she was, and it also took a long time before I could realize how deeply I felt for her. I seem pretty lame right now, but I guess I can't help it. I have confessed to her already, and she gave a somewhat positive answer to me.
Confessions with words don't count much, I guess. If Night would have been a real person, a real guy, this defeat might have been easier to accept, but shouldn't it be much easier really to accept defeat from the perfected "ideal robot" lover?
Riiko…your care for him seems so genuine, and I know that you are aware he is a robot, is there a chance that I could still win you even after you have met your ideal?
Right at this moment, my phone rings, and my father gives me a call. He says Lucien is interested in taking me and Riiko as apprentices, I thank him, and I lay my phone before me.
Riiko, would you be willing to go to Paris with me? I guess I'll find out, soon enough.
It's really short. But I just wanted to let out how much sadness Soshi might have felt.
Thanks for reading!
Review if you must! :)
