A look into the
overlooked Ryu Kumon's mind.
-Randall Flagg2000
Alone
It's over
It's all over
I wonder why it had to be this way
All because I wanted to restore my family dojo
All because I wanted to be loved
I used to have at least my Yama-sen-ken
Now I have nothing
I'm completely… no I can't quite say it
I won't admit to it
From age six I have spent my life companionless
My father is dead
I can't even remember my mother
And now I don't even have a martial art with me
My entire life I have wandered through Japan
Nobody has ever cried for me, laughed with me, or even scolded me
I would even settle for being slapped
Anything is better then this Hell I have been in
Anything is better then being… alone
Ranma Saotome…
That name still reverberates in my head
I am shaking, and not just from our fight
I envy you so much
You have a mother and a home
Maybe your family is a bit strange, but it's still a family
I would do anything to have a family again
I would even kill for it
Now look at me
Battered, bruised, and without anything at all
My Yama-sen-ken is sealed
I'm off wandering again, doing what I can to survive
Oh why did I have to be so desperate?
Why did I have to deceive your mother to get Umi-sen-ken?
Oh wait, I know why
I wanted to rebuild my family dojo
But I think it was more then that
I don't think I was just doing this for my family dojo
I think I was doing it because…
Because I'm alone
I just wanted somebody to love me
I wanted a mother
Even if I had to go to lengths such as these, I wanted a mother
Funny how long this feeling has been within me
Underneath my muscles, techniques and sternness I'm just a little boy who wants mommy back
It's almost frightening
I envy you so much Saotome
But there's not much else I can do now
I sealed up Yama-sen-ken and I can't break my promise
I will always remember you and our duel
It will keep me company for awhile now that I am alone…
Again…
THE END
Over and out.
