Greetings Earthlings! This is a drabble so I'm just gonna say hello here.

Warning! Major but vague spoilers for chapter 334/episode 196 (2014 episode 21).

She was tired.

So tired.

Tired of using, tired of being used. Tired of everything being a means to an end.

Tired of trying to forgive, tired of trying to forget (and it was even harder because she herself was the one she had to pacify with atonement).

Tired of waking up, every day, and facing life. Of laughing and smiling and anger and fighting and...

...and tired. Always so, so tired that sometimes she didn't know what was up and what was down and why she was even still fighting and who this was all for and most of all-

Tired.

But one day she opened her eyes and saw that maybe she was so tired because she had always, in a way, been fighting for herself.

Maybe she had to try fighting a bit for the ones she loved.

She wanted atonement. This was her atonement. They wanted this living nightmare to end. This was how they could all get out.

But most of all, she wanted to finally sleep.

And so, with tears streaming down her cheeks and a (small, slight, but this time true) smile on her face, she spoke what might be her last words.

"Arc of Time: Last Aegis!"

Don't ask me who this is about. I think you guys know.

This was written in one sitting, when I wasn't feeling too great. I dunno about you guys, but for me if I write quasi-sad things when I'm sad, I start too feel better. Like those times when you just need to cry. You get it?

Tell me what you thought of it!

See ya!
