Never Meant to Be
'It's too late... for us to return to how we were……'
Rinrei. The most beautiful name I'd ever heard.
She was so perfect, the only person who ever treated me, the heretic, as an equal.
But I knew we could never be together in perfect harmony.
I knew that time flies too fast, and life doesn't go the way you want it to.
And it didn't, for us.
Fear and hate was so strong. They were whispers echoing in the night, mocking us.
And yet, I thought our love would be so beautiful. Darkness into light.
There's no moment I regret being with her. Without her, I'd have lived my whole life through, empty as the sky. Lost forever.
If only They knew the passion we felt. But They didn't.
I knew Rinrei died the day They exiled her. And so did I. The two of us – cursed for all eternity.
What is life without meaning?
I had to avenge her. Avenge us.
And so, there were screams. People running. A sword raised high. And the ground, stained scarlet.
But all this wouldn't bring Rinrei back.
Such intense pain, shattering my soul.
Now, as I look back, I realize this pain will linger forever.
Because there's something about that day that, if I let it in, would blow my carefully constructed disguise to pieces.
The whole point of not thinking about it, of silencing the memory, is to make it go away. It won't.
The fateful moment just keeps playing over and over in my head.
Rinrei crying for me. Reaching out to me.
If I could turn back time, I would change one thing.
And that one thing…..is that I couldn't save her.
