Hagane
6. McGillis' Place
They'd fitted him into the world
but he'd never fit. He'd known that.
They'd known that as well, even if
they lied and turned their faces
in scorn. Yes, there were those
that didn't. Those that spoke plainly,
or meant the tenderness in their tone
but they were too few and far-between
and not fitting into his new dream world.
They are relics. Tender relics, yes,
but he can't afford them. They'll be
stepping stones instead.
If he can't fit into this place, then he'll make
this place that fits him right.
