Welcome to the Black Parade

Prologue
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city
To see a marching band.
He said, "Son when you grow up
would you be the savior of the broken,
the beaten and the damned?
"He said "Will you defeat them,your demons,
and all the non-believers,
the plans that they have made?"
"Because one day I'll leave you
,A phantom to lead you in the summer,
To join The Black Parade."
The small boy sat under the tree, a small, grubby hand wiping away the last remnants of his tears. He knew he had to be strong, it's what his father would have wanted. But he just found that so hard. How could he possibly feel any emotion except for sadness? The only person he had ever talked to, the great Inu No Taisho, had just gone, leaving him alone.
Alone.
How he hated the feeling; the feeling that no one loved him, no one cared for him, no one even knew him. He felt as if his heart had been ripped out, stomped on, and in a clumsy attempt, had tried to repair itself, becoming a small, broken, mock imitation of what it once was. The wind blew over him, sending chills over his small body. He was so cold.
And even though he was chilled to the bone on the outside, the feeling didn't even compare to how cold and empty his heart felt. It was as if a great void had ripped apart everything he had ever known, casting it down into it's deep abyss, lifeless, careless, meaningless.
But even though these feelings raged through him, he refused to shed another tear. He would fulfill his promise, his promise to be strong, to lead, to save others, even if he couldn't save himself.
So it was that he tucked away all his hurt, pain, anger, and sadness, ready to live up to his role: the son of the Inu No Taisho. He would do his best to hide his emotions, do his best to pretend. He would make his father proud.
