The poem is titled: The Heart for those of you who want to know.
What is heart?
I would not know
I am Ulquiorra Cifer
Quarto Espada
Governor of the aspect of nothingness
life means nothing to me
my existence is merely to serve lord Aizen
we hollows do not experience heart
our holes represent our nothingness, our lack of heart
and yet
how can many of us experience emotion
if emotion is tied to the heart?
the woman speaks of the heart
she talks as if some how the heart is a material thing
and perhaps it is
but I would not know
sometimes I reflect upon the others
how can Starrk care so much about Lillinette?
I myself do not believe he cares
she is merely a tool for him to activate his power
or how Halibel cares about her fracciones
but is that not her aspect of death?
yet there are hollows such as Neliel
a shame really
she was quite strong indeed
her only weakness was that she did care
had she not I am quite sure Nnoitra
that trash, would be quite unable to defeat her
the human anatomy supposedly has a muscle called the heart
can it be seen if I rip open this chest of yours?
does this muscle produce emotion?
yet it is simply a muscle
muscles cannot produce emotion
emotion is a falsity produced by the thought that existence has a meaning
existence is pointless
if it had a point then why are some people born only to be forgotten?
I do not believe anyone is less pointless than another
woman,
if I crush your skull
will I find it there?
is the heart perhaps a machination of mind?
a belief simply to make existence have a point?
is it truly existant like you speak woman?
you humans speak of it
as if
it is not only real
but a basis
a law
a belief
a reality of existence
how can it be
if I cannot see it with my own eyes?
my own existence shall end soon
I am weak
too weak to live
…I see
the woman
her care for me
and my wellbeing
even in the knowledge of my soon death
she does not want my life to end
so this is it
a pity I could not live longer
I finally understand
for this thing…
in the palm of my hand
...is heart
thank you
Orihime
A/N: aand there we have it. Ulquiorra's final inner dialogue. Hopefully it was nihilistic enough to be him. I will work on the Shopkeeper and the Bat soon I promise! This fic was inspired by Chapter 353. Hope you enjoyed this.
