Happiness is for the weak. Here comes Echo.
Who was he? That was an easy question. He was no one. He was a broken copy, born from two hearts, taking one's name, one's appearance. Unlike the others, he had no past. Unlike the others, he had no future. He was but an echo of what had been, of what would be. He knew it now.
There was no one to miss him. No one to remember him. What would be the point anyway? What did he achieve, in his short, miserable life? He wasn't one to be remembered. He had been a tool. He had been a fool.
He had some dear memories of his own. A best friend. But were they really friends? Hadn't he been just a replacement, for the one that used to be his best friend's best friend? He didn't know who to trust anymore. He couldn't see why anyone would regard him as a friend.
He was a blade, he was blades, and that had been his only purpose. How silly of him to believe that he could have a proper life. Collect hearts. This was the reason they allowed him to exist, and nothing else. Just another puppet to the collection. They never talked to him except if they really had to.
If he had cared about whether what he was doing was right or wrong, maybe things could have been different. Maybe it would have mattered. But puppets never ask questions, and he didn't. The only thing he could feel about what he did before was guilt. Shame. He had just brought the end of the world a bit closer. And that's not even what he was ashamed of. No, the shame came from the relief of knowing he wouldn't be there to watch it. To see the consequences of what he had done.
It was finally time to go. Time to leave this world in which he had never been wanted, a world in which nobody cared about him. It was better this way. He was better off not remembered. He never deserved this life that had been given to him. This face belonged to Ventus. This name belonged to Sora.
Roxas was just an echo, doomed to vanish no matter what.
Let's switch to a whole different topic tomorrow with the theme 'Mom' ~*
(there's a trailer coming out in a bit less than 5 hours and I'm excited, I wonder what it will be about!)
