I watch as you walk away.
I know you'll never love me like I love you.
You can't. You're more robot than human. And I'm….
More human.
I cough and wretch blood, my fingers curling over the hilt of the sword you stuck through me, nailing me to the tree.
"Pl… Pla…. ci…"
I cough more. Everything's fuzzy. My broken body sparks. I don't have enough energy to sob but the tears keep falling.
Placido…
I watch as you walk away.
Please
Just look back
Please…
"Forget about me, Antinomy."
Your voice cuts deeper into my flesh than your sword.
"N-No… Pla… cid…"
I watch as you walk away.
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me
Please don't leave me!
"Bruno? Bruno!"
Bruno wakes with a start, and he gives a loud sniff. Yusei's concerned face was above his.
"Are you okay? You were crying in your sleep."
Bruno touches his face. It's wet with tears.
"S-Sorry…" he sniffs, "I don't… even remember what I dreamed about."
Yusei gives him a sympathetic smile and pats his back.
"Don't worry about it. As long as you're alright."
Bruno smiles and nods.
"Thanks Yusei."
