The Kiretsu Project
Prologue
How could this happen...? How did I let myself be brought into this...?
I'm sorry, but it seems like I won't be able to protect you anymore. I can't feel my body, and the snow is blinding me. Seems like what should be white is red, and everything is blurry.
I tilt my head and look over at my sides. That's a knife, isn't it? But it seems like the blade is missing...
Oh, no it's not... It's just plunged in my flesh. The smell of blood fills my nose, and there's nothing else I feel. My body is numb and my mind is blank. I still manage to let out a final sigh as I look up to the sky again, at the falling snow.
I have no regrets, dear twin. But I wish our brother had never agreed to this project. I also wish that we could leave this world together. Leaving you alone here scares me.
Oh, is that you? You are looking at me, and you are holding my hand. I can't feel your warmth, but I can see your tears. They are now falling on my cheek, and every drop seems to pierce my skin.
I would cry too, but you know I can't. Please don't look so sad... I can't feel the pain anymore... It's so cold. I should have dressed a bit better.
Where are you going? You're disappearing... you're shrouded in darkness. Please don't let go. I love you, my twin. And if I could, I would hold you close...
One last time.
