I panted, wavering to stay upright against the cracking wall.
My body heavy with inflicted pain that licked fire against the flaring wounds.
The shadows all around me dancing as if telling me to just close my eyes, telling me that I didn't have to see anymore.
I remember someone saying, coincidence didn't exist, there was only the inevitable.
My ears ringing to the soft notes of that locket I had dropped; his present. I guess it was too late now though.
So whether if I liked it or not at the time, I knew the journey ahead was my Hitzusen, even if all I wanted was my old life back.
Slowly, I looked up through the mess of hair in my tired eyes, straining to keep fighting.
To survive and help another; I just had to.
Even if I knew their fate.
But I couldn't move as he came closer, step-by-step.
I was just paralyzed, like a wolf who had locked down it's shimmering eyes onto it's vulnerable prey.
Freezing it in fear.
Even if I knew this story.
But I wasn't in fear, even as he reached his betraying hands for me.
Having incased himself in the confusion and unknowing lies of his own life.
Even if...I would shatter from the broken memories I had forgotten.
I couldn't bring myself to regret anything, even with him.
"I'll always forgive you,"
