Tears

by Lysana

Vio did something painful and terrible for his team. Now, he asks forgiveness. Based on the manga version of Four Swords, by Akira Himekawa. Big huge freaking spoilers. Do NOT read this before the manga.

"Do you forgive me?"
Vio whispers,
anguished tight.
Low voice anguished tight.

Small voice,
quiet and low,
composed and strong.

Tears
in Vio's heroic eyes
shaking,
tears trembling
with lonely need and fright.
Tears of a boy,
in the soul of a warrior.

"Do you forgive me,
for lying to you...?"

Vio asking forgiveness,
low and fearful,
quiet voice tight,
brave tearful hero child.

Vio asking forgiveness
from Red, Blue, and Green
for his painful deception
that saved their lives,
saved the team,
saved their world.

Vio's deception,
painful most of all
to him.

Do they forgive him?
You decide.
Would you forgive yourself?
