Andy gulped as he sat down on his bed the afternoon after the Omega Alert incident, his heart beating hard. He wasn't feeling tense, as he assessed, but the sheer peace that engulfed him as he looked out his window room that peaceful day, the endless plains stretching for endless miles under chirping birds and the bright blue sky, enthralled him. It felt so… tranquil.
He had never felt this way. Merely realizing that, he felt a renewed sense of amazement at himself. Just last week he had lost six years of his life. From a fifteen year old boy, he instantly turned twenty-one. And just yesterday, he lost three of his best friends… It was too much for the young man.
Then again… he thought, as he slumped down, closing his eyes, about his only friend now in the peaceful continent of Orange Star, Sami, who was still there. She had always been there from the start… ever since Sturm invaded Wars World for the first time… she had proven to be more than a valuable asset. But now there's an entirely new, somehow warm feeling he had for her… as he had countless new feelings and points of views for just about everything.
He started drifting away into sleep, shrugging off Sami, or anyone else in his mind for that matter, and curled into himself, folding his arms as a cold wind from the air conditioner brushed against his face…
As he did, he felt comfort. It was nice, cozy, amidst the cold. Maybe, he thought, it was the depressing pain, deep in his chest. He didn't know. Nothing else mattered to him, though. He just wanted to be alone at the time. Somehow, it just felt nice to think about dying…
Minutes seemed like hours as the sound of the clock ticked perpetually in Andy's head… With closed eyes, all he could envision was his room and himself; laying there vulnerable and unwilling to budge. It was but after a while did Andy realized that he couldn't force himself to sleep, regardless of his lethargy. He stood up with a gulp, his body trembling feebly for some reason… and he felt that he had actually slept for several hours too long under the cold winds as he shivered.
However, time had not shifted much since Andy began to try and slumber… the light outside his room indicated so. And… there was something else out there. No, someone else, actually… Under a great big tree outside the HQ was a figure with red hair waving as the winds brushed against it, sitting down and resting against her own knees looking towards the horizon with glimmering eyes…
"… Sami…" Andy looked down, subconsciously. It was her he had been thinking about all this time, and yet… there she was.
He sighed, not really sure what he wanted to do now. However, as he looked outside again, at the still figure just waiting for something to come out of the horizon… it became clear to him of what he felt like doing.
