Not Giving Up
by Meilanu
It has been going on for centuries. The same conflict, the same ending. On the day of the festival of Watanagashi, I will die. As soon as Takano and Tomitake enter the shrine house, my fate is sealed.
There have been close calls, almost happy endings, but I'm getting tired of high hopes. No matter what Hinamazawa I will be in...it will be the same, won't it?
No, I can't think that way...
I will not give up. I will go on, trying to change the fate that I am destined to. I'm not going to run away.
I don't want to die.
Is that selfish of me? I have yet to find myself. I have yet to see past June. I want to see the flowers bloom, I want to see the snow fall. Do I not deserve that as much as anyone else? What differs me from anyone else?
Keiichi...Rena...Mion...Shion...Satoko...I don't want to die. I want the happiness to last. I want to truly smile.
But please understand that I must do this alone. Even if I tell you, you won't understand. That's how it's always been. Why? Because you will never remember what happened in the previous Hinamazawas.
I will fight on, for us.
I wish the answer to all my problems were smiling and saying...Ni-paah!
A/N: My favorite character is honestly Rika o: And her catch phrase is the most adorable thing ever. (: I haven't been writing any stories lately (I've been busy watching Higurashi to be completely honest with you), and so I came up with this. It's a short drabble, but I'll definitely be writing more Higurashi stories soon!
