Easier to run

~It's easier to run
Replacing this pain with something numb
It's so much easier to go
Than face all this pain here all alone~

-Linkin Park "Easier to Run"

How many bottles can the mighty Harry Potter drink in one night?

I don't know.

I stop counting after 10.

Alcohol can never bring peace.

It just makes you numb.

But it is okay.

I am okay. I will be.

Does anyone know why London is always rainy?

Because someone is weeping, that is why.

If you notice, you will realize the color of tears seems to be dull grey.

Like ashes.

Like someone's eyes, when the light is gone.

Can someone tell me why heroes always come to sorry ends?

Just like Macbeth.

Strong men became weaklings

Out! Damn Spot! Out!

Ha.

Hmmm. Why do I taste salt?

Alcohol is not supposed to be salty.

All right, I just take another sip. Maybe the taste would just go away.

It does not seem to be working.

It never does.

I once know of someone.

He is everyone's hero.

After all, he did save the world.

 Nope. This hero did not come to a sorry end.

But heroes are not supposed to run away, aren't they?

But run away, this hero did.

From a certain tree in Hogwarts.

Where a tombstone lies.

You must be wondering what is buried underneath?

That makes him run away.

Let me tell you the answer.

My love.
