Theme 10: Lonely
--------------------------------------------------
"Good job, Sasame-kun. That's a wrap for another nightly breathtaking broadcast."
The Knight of Sound simply smiled at the radio producer and shrugged off the compliment. After all, every night was the same and tonight was no exception. He grabbed his jacket and headed out the lobby. Sasame buried his hands in his pant pockets and just stared into the infinite night skies. He continued his walk down the noisy city streets. Bright lights and laughter gave life to the city. It stirred an inner irritation.
Pathetic. You're all lying to yourselves when you smile. Once the company and lights are gone, you're all alone again. That's why you keep coming back, craving to rid yourself of the loneliness.
Sasame found an empty bench in a local park, also void of people. It was well past his knightly curfew, but he didn't want to return to Leafeania just yet. Ill thoughts were lingering in his mind and he could only dwell upon the matter.
That postcard…she wanted to say something to someone…anyone who was willing to listen. She wants to tell the people around her that she's lonely and that people are too blind to see it. She's lying to everyone around her by pretending to be perfectly fine. She's hiding behind a glass mask.
Sasame could only chuckle at the irony. No one saw through perfect gentleman's behavior. The other knight's couldn't even see the darkness in his gentle heart. His talent for listening to others meant there was no need for others to listen to him. It seemed as if he knew all the answers, knew exactly what to say to sooth aching hearts.
How long will it take before anyone notices…that I'm lonely too?

Author's Notes: Uh, nothing to say except I got myself an international internship in Japan…and I'm away from home again. I realized that I hadn't written a drabble for the Sound Knight and here it is, some angst and truth(?). Always watch out for those silent ones because they don't say what's on their mind (a personal philosophy). I could probably do a better job on this piece TT.
I've been pretty bad at releasing Fairy Tale's 5 th chapter, but hopefully it'll be out by the end of the month.
Life in Japan…cost of food really adds up.
