Oo—O—oO
~A for Alphabet~
"A, B, C, D, E, F, G. H~J, K, L, M, N, O, P."
Ea frowned. Something was missing when Landkarte sang that song.
"Q, R, S, T~V. W, X, Y, and—"
"Where are the 'I' and 'U', Landkarte?"
Landkarte smiled childishly. "Hm… Right here, maybe?" His fingers formed a 'heart' shape, right on the center of his chest.
Profe giggled cutely, Ea looked at him with question mark above his head, while Zehel just laughed on the spot when he saw what Landkarte did.
.
~B for Blind~
.
He was blinded, lost his sight right after he knew that the traitor was his first comrade he ever had.
But he didn't regret for losing it, though.
His biggest and only regret was…
"Landkarte… I'm sorry… I… couldn't… save… you…"
…that he couldn't save his best friend who've fallen into the darkness; Landkarte.
.
~C for Culprit~
.
They did know that the culprit who've made Teito a Pandora Box and incited Raggs Queen was the Pope.
But what they didn't know was the main culprit behind the Pope action.
Who could've thought someone cheerful and childish like Landkarte would be the main culprit, back then?
.
~D for Different~
.
"Quit talking about poison when we're eating, will you?!"
"Uhm, sorry. Forgot about that thing—"
"Last one is mine!"
"Ah! Zehel stole the last piece of cake!"
"WHERE DID HE GO?!"
Ea watched the scene in front of him with his hands still cleaning tea stain around his mouth. The place where he lived before was a calm and well mannered—yet, a cold one. But here, in the Barsburg Church where the 07 Ghost lived together from different district and different personality…
…he prefer to be here than living in that golden cold cage like before.
.
~E for Enigmatic~
.
In Ea's eyes, Landkarte was an enigmatic people.
First, he introduced himself happily and made him knew what a 'comrade' was. He approached him like nobody ever did before and smiled at him innocently every time they met.
But then, when the Raggs War happened, everything changed.
He looked sinister when he cut Profe, Relikt, and Fest's heads and took away Ea's sight with him. He didn't mind if the war happened to reach his own goal.
And he didn't wish for his own redemption.
Then what did he wished for, actually?
.
~F for Fool~
.
He was taught to get a high position in the empire when he was still alive. He knew how to read, how to count, and how to do everything perfectly.
But after he met with Landkarte, he felt like a fool.
A fool who didn't know how to make a friend perfectly likes what Landkarte did before he betrayed them all.
.
~G for Guess~
.
"What do you call something that's black, tall, and hot—in term of taste?"
"Electrical post with chili on it*."
"Mention a cloth that only consist of an alphabet."
"K tok**, isn't it?"
"Two nights ago, I saw a thousand stars shining on the sky—but when I saw it again last night, I only saw 998 stars there. To where did the two stars gone?"
Ea frowned. "…that I don't know. I give up."
Landkarte smirked teasingly. "It went to your eyes; they're shining brightly in front of me now."
A wink, and Ea was really speechless.
.
~H for Home~
.
["Welcome back to real world, Ea. How're your days in the Book of Hades?"]
The dark-haired man smiled softly. He walked straight to the mansion in front of him. Even though he has lost his sight several years ago, he could still walked to the right way perfectly.
When he remembered the smile and greeting that guy gave him every time he returned from the Book of Hades, his chest felt painful.
Nobody gave him that kind of greeting every time he returned to the mansion (and his current home) now, anyway.
.
~I for Irresistible~
.
For him, that guy was irresistible.
He could never truly refused what that guy wanted; from taking him to the Book of Hades, accompanying him every evening to drink tea together, and playing 'hide-and-seek' that he won when he knew the light-haired guy's betrayal…
Even after Landkarte took his sight away from him with his bloody scythe, Ea could not resist himself from looking after him for ten years in military.
Simply put, Landkarte was the only person whom Ea could not resist in his life as the Awaking Spirit.
.
~J for Joke***~
.
It was the time where birds were singing beautifully outside when Landkarte suddenly came to Ea and said something horrible.
"Ea?"
"Yes?"
"I'm pregnant with your child."
Fest and Relikt choked when they drank their morning coffee.
It didn't take much time to realize that he was just joking. Ea immediately hit him with his scythe's end, while Landkarte ran away and laughing innocently.
But when the two bishop Ghosts saw Profe with a child that bear great similarity with Ea and Landkarte that afternoon, they debated with their own selves about the truth of Landkarte's joke.
.
~K for Kreuz~
.
Kreuz: man who acted as Vertrag before and when the Raggs War happened.
Kreuz: the second prince of Raggs kingdom, younger brother of Weldeschtein Krom Raggs and older brother of Krowell Raggs.
Kreuz: the black sheep of Pope's crime and risked his own life to protect his beloved nephew, Warheit Tiashe Raggs.
Kreuz: the poor man who always got Landkarte's death glare whenever he became too close with Ea—the time where he wanted to show the youngest Ghost a book he might like and getting insomnia after seeing a devil appeared beside Ea was the proof of this statement.
.
~L for Liar~
.
Landkarte was a great liar.
He lied to him about his real name when Ea asked it; he lied too when he acted like he got amnesia when Ea's 'birthday' arrived.
But now, when he took away Ea's sight and his comrades' souls after they knew about his betrayal…
/Someone, please tell me that it's just his lie again!/
…Ea hoped in vain. His intention to make a pure world without love or hate by using Verloren's power wasn't among his lies.

Note(s):
* = Taken from my favorite humor novel since elementary school.
** = K tok: means 'only K'. Originally 'kathok', Javanese for 'trouser'. But it can be misspelled as 'K tok' (like what Ea said before) in usual riddle in my country. =w=
*** = Parody from kapitel 88 page 7, the two last panels. Crop its picture and ta-da, this absurd joke could be made instantly. (I've use the joke before in my other 07 Ghost fic and in my facebook account, anyway).
