"How is it possible
to exist without
a sense of wonder?"
This gnaws
at the back of Kyo's mind
because, as Tohru says,
There's something people lack:
a kind of warmth, a kind of innocence,
unmarred by cynicism.
Kyo has long forgotten
what it means to view
the world from the
rosy tinted, glitter painted, sunkissed, clear sky
opening your eyes
and
guiding you toward the path that makes
the most sense.
And so many of the paths Kyo crossed
had similar outcomes:
all the blood sweat tears,
all the bruises scrapes broken bones
all the chipped teeth split lips black eyes
all the memories, painful and terrifying.
Somehow, his path was guided by Tohru
and if Kyo believed in
a higher power existing,
then Tohru's endless patience compassion purity messiness desire for approval
was the first step in
reconciling divinity with reality.
