Life and Death.
Life is weak. It breathes fresh air one minute, yet suddenly it can die out and cease to exist. For us adults, it is already hard to conceptualise death. To understand what it was. Whether it is a 'what' or a 'who'.
For young Zero it was the demon that took his parents away from him. The soft hands that would lovingly stroke his hair when he pretended to be asleep. The firm yet playful tone of the man that taught him to ride his first bike. The amazing lady who taught him that delicious vegetable soup that he would be known for. The softer, kinder and weaker mirror image of him, who would tell him how much he loved his Zero-nii-chan.
Seventeen year old Zero, looking into the mirror. The cold, sunken eyes that had lost hope but not all hope. The little spitfire of sunshine and kindness that saved him from the well of despair he was in 5 years ago would always stay by his side, an if anyone would dare take her away then they would be sorely mistaken.
30 year old Zero had finally controlled his vampire side. He was now a well-respected Vampire Hunter. If anyone told him that he would be able to get over the obstacles life and death had thrown at him, he would have probably shot a bullet into their heart. Now he sees that if you want to live, then even the weak-hearted can survive.
