-Prologue-
It's been several years since she has passed on. Several years since I've seen her bright smile and always curious eyes. Several years too long...
December 27th...the day that's supposed to be our most celebrated day of the year for the both of us. But now I'm all that's left. December 27th, the day my angel, my love, my Rin left us to stare at a cold, concrete slab with some old, sickly sweet sentence on it.
As if that would summarize her life. As if it would do anything but remind us that she's dead.
My Rin...is dead.
I kneel before my love's headstone, brushing the snow out of the carved out letters of her name. If only I'd made her stay inside...if only I had said no...why? Why is she, of all people, dead?
My eyes burn as I rest my forehead against the cold headstone. The tears have returned once more.
"Rin...I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." I try to imagine she's here, somewhere, giving me an odd look and awkwardly patting my head like she normally would.
"I'm not sure what you're apologizing for, but I forgive you Lenny.." She'd smile again, still patting my head before she would go on with what she was doing previously.
Looking up from my love's grave, I see nothing but snow...nothing but cold, useless snow.
