It's oddly freeing to feel your body disintegrate. To simply stand by while you slowly crumble into spirit particle dust, because what else is there to do?
Absolutely nothing.
And what a way to die. Vanishing away in front of the human who regrets how he killed me.
How pathetic.
Lord Aizen will be proud.
How will he react when he finds out the demise of his most loyal subject? Disappointed? Shocked? Aloof?
But.. alas.. I will never know. And at this point, I'm beyond caring. Or feeling, for that matter..
For the numbness has spread completely over what little is left of me.
You look sad to see me wasting away before you. Why?
I almost killed your precious Kurosaki-kun.
Again.
You should be celebrating my death. Not mourning it.
Regretfully, I will never understand you.
Though I would probably not have anyways, even if I had had all eternity to try.
Your emotions are unrestrained and displayed constantly. This trait of yours used to frustrate me, but now makes me curious. You gaze at me and your eyes water with unshed tears.
Again, why?
I outstretch my remaining arm to you and ask the question that has been on my mind ever since you slapped me.
Your answer is strangely reassuring as your fingers tentatively reach towards mine.
And before I die, I want to hold your hand.
"Yeah, you got that something
I think you'll understand
When I say that something
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand."—The Beatles
…
Melodramatic? Check. Mushy? Yes. Incredibly OOC? Probably.
And yes, I'm aware that this has been done before(and a lot better). The song popped in my head as soon as I read the chapter... I couldn't resist..
Why do all of my favorite characters in books, movies, and manga always end up dying?!!!
