-The God That Failed-

God has failed me.

I prayed and prayed that you would survive, that you would pull through. Hell, I even went to the temple to make an offering!

But he still failed me.

He let you go, let the rosy pink of life fade from your cheeks, let your hand that I clung to go cold.

Lee got better, and he was worse off than you. You died, and you know what the damned doctor said? "He served his term. Let him go."

I wanted to scream then. Your term wasn't done! You weren't even a Chuunin yet! I can't let you go! Why did God forsake you?!

Why has he failed me?!
