Black White Grey

Black and white.
So it always was for me.
Black on white. White on black. Layer upon layer.
Skin, white. Hair, black.
The moon is always white light, surrounded by the black of the night sky. A sword, white, blood, black. A shinigami's uniform, black on white.
For the longest time, the black lies uncovered, even as the heir to one of the noble houses of Soul Society.
And then came the captain's cape and the loss of the only one for whom I had ever smiled.
Her safety had been more important than anything to me, and my passion had failed me. I took my pride as my safe haven, my white cape, white sword, white heights.
They never mixed. I could never find a balance.
No one ever challenged me.
The white tower.
And then ihe/i did. With his black sword, as if he was an equil. And I fell, because somewhere, somehow, my pride had cracked under his passion.
Black and white.
And now, grey.
