"My mouth was a crib and it was growing lies... I didn't know what love was on that day... My heart's a tiny bloodclot... I picked at it... It never heals it never goes away... I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye... We were too dumb to run too dead to die... This was never my world... You took the angel away... I'd kill myself to make everybody pay... This was never my world... You took the angel away... I'd kill myself to make everybody pay... I would have told her then... She was the only thing... That I could love in this dying world... But the simple word "love" itself... Already died and went away... This was never my world... You took the angel away... I'd kill myself to make everybody pay... This was never my world... You took the angel away... I'd kill myself to make everybody pay... I burned all the good things in The Eden Eye... We were too dumb to run too dead to die... Her heart's bloodstained egg... We didn't handle with care... It's broken and bleeding... And we can never repair..." ( Marilyn Manson: "Coma Black" )
Hard Luck Woman - Spike: Red Letters
I was a perfectly normal person. Content with life as I could be. So, why was I sitting there, eating dozens of eggs with Jet?
"Bye Bye"
Because, when I'd gone out for a smoke, my pack had dropped from my hand and skidded across the deck, skipping over those six letters. Ed was gone, that was obvious. But Faye...was she gone? Or just leaving for awhile to come back later?
Whichever one, it had Jet and I depressed out of our minds. We were chiselled down to eating eggs out of depression. I think. It was either that or a contest, though either would work for this.
Hell, I bet Jet even misses Ein.
I'd gone to put Ed's pinwheel as a kind of 'hood' ornament right after she'd given it to me, just to see what the others would think. Now it sits up there like a kind of signification of her depature. She was a big part of this ship, and we all knew it. Without her, we would never have figured out what Mad Pierrot was. Where Gren and Vicious were headed. What Vincent had planned.
Jet looked at me about this time. "What is it, Spike?"
"You know." We all did, like I said. And he knew it the most; he was a father to Ed before...well, Ed, stepped in. He kept Faye in line so we didn't kill each other when a fight came up. He fed the damn dog, for God's sake.
His shoulders slumped and he put his egg down. "Yeah, I know, but we can't keep beatin' ourselves up about it." He groped for my cigarette pack and grabbed one for himself. Stress was eased by those things, as much as everyone hated to admit it. My guess, he'd run out over dinner. "Ed deserves to be with her father. Faye was just tagging along for the ride. And Ein... Well, Ein don't matter right now."
I laid down, stretching my long legs and shoving a magazine over my eyes. "Yeah, whatever, Jet. Tell yourself what you need to to make yourself feel good." But I can't feel good, Jet. Ed's gone and she took the dog. And Faye left me.
Or was she ever really with me? She was with us, I know, but she was never with me. Me alone. No Jet. No Ed. No Ein. No bounties. Me. And Faye.
Never happened, never will. Because she knew as well as I did, I was still looking for Julia and hunting down Vicious.
Vicious...
I remember the words I'd said about her before going to chase him down...
"I'm going to find my woman. You go look for that other woman." *
I heard Jet get up, stack a few bowls of eggs in his arms, and walk to the kitchen. Leaving me? Nope.
"Bye Bye"
But everyone else was, eh? I decided sleep was near-impossible right then and headed for the deck, making sure to take the cigarettes with me, only to run into Ed's big, red message again. I'd clean it up later. Now, though, I'd leave it there and look at it in my brooding.
Let's run through this... Ed's gone, Jet's depressed, Ein followed Ed, and Faye...
Faye...where are you? Still out there? Looking for us, I hope?
Why do I hope, you ask?
Because I want you back here on the Bebop, with Jet and I. For company. For help. For the fights, who cares? So long as you're here when I am.
Because...
Because...I care more than I'd ever let you know to your face.
The cigarette flew over the balcony and I stepped back inside, hoping to find her sitting on her bed, waiting for someone to find her. Really, I didn't expect her to be there, I decided as I passed the empty room and went to my own, slamming the door behind me and heaving myself down on the bed for the bit of sleep I might've been able to grasp that night.
Come on, Faye...
Find us...
Find me...
