I walked up to you… you were sitting alone, your knees pulled up to your chest and your head hung between them… your body shaking with convulsions of what I could only guess to be sadness. I stood behind you, "Tatsuki, what's wrong?"
"Orihime…" you said, slowly, not raising your head from it's resting place.
""What is it, Tatsuki?" I asked again, my voice this time more pleading.
"Why did you leave?" You said even quieter, this time lifting your head only a little.
"What do you mean, I didn't go anywhere…" I said as I crouched down in front of you. "Why did you leave… me?" you said, such sorrow in your voice.
I wanted to hug you, to reach out to you, to tell you everything was alright because I promised I'd always come back, but before I could you got up and began to walk away, your head still hung. "Tatsuki, wait!" I called out as I reached for your hand, but my hand met nothing but air, passing yours as if you didn't exist… As if I didn't exist… I turned around to find what you had been staring at…
A grave…
Orihime Inoue
A Beloved Friend
My grave…
And the world fell silent.
