BROKEN
For Lulu-chan
I am a child, the same time I am an adult.
Within me are two beings: myself and someone long dead.
Along with my memories are bits and pieces of someone else's life. And within my veins run his power, a power so strong it could see the future – an ability that has helped me plan my actions carefully and has bound my life to chains.
What is there to explore in the world when I know everything anyway?
And what is the use of doing something if I know I'll just get hurt in the end?
Is it all worth it? If it isn't then it isn't worth my time.
Such thoughts deprived me of many things, things like the innocent bliss of waiting for Santa Claus on Christmas Eve, the curiosity over why the sky is blue, why leaves turn orange every autumn – all that and more.
But even with all the power I have I can never turn back time and undo everything. I can never bring back the childhood I lost, my life that was broken.

Note (11/21/06): I initially planned on elaborating the concept of this chapter further, but had to scrap the idea at the last minute because of a hundred and one reasons (plot, personal issues). Because I don't have the heart to delete or replace it (since I've been really fond of the idea), I decided that each chapter will present a different story from this point on instead.
