Yeah, we're not hallucinating. This is the penultimate chapter!
The drabble's title is actually the title of one of my favourite Weiss Kreuz OPs. Funnily enough, the song's lyrics aren't exactly a match for this drabble's theme. Just the title.
Well... Hope you enjoy!
TOPAZ: Piece of Heaven
Is being able to see duel monster spirits a curse? Or a gift?
Being able to see them since I was young was both good and bad for me. Talking to spirits is fun but it draws curious looks from other kids. The glances they send me are rather uncomfortable but I've learned to ignore them.
That doesn't mean I've completely gotten over it though. I still feel self-conscious sometimes.
When I met the Gem Beasts, it was truly a time I felt it was a gift. Ruby and the other Gem Beasts are like my family because they care for me and support my heart. They never leave me, even in duels. If I couldn't see them and talk to them, I'd never have gotten close to them like now.
But meeting you, Judai, and finding out you have the same ability as me and sharing the same kindness and enjoyment with spirits, made me realize that seeing spirits was more than what I first thought.
It got to the stage where I don't care if I'm talking to them in front of a crowd with everyone watching like our first duel, to the point where I no longer pay attention to the eyebrows raised in confusion, to the phase wherein I wish the fun moments would never end.
The ability to see duel monster spirits is definitely not a curse. But thanks to you, Judai, I've realized that it's also more than just a gift.
It's a blessing.

NOVEMBER: Topaz
Associated Properties: Good luck, providence, feelings of happiness, balancing emotions
This is quite deep, but the view in this drabble is that: Gift is synonymous to blessing but they're not the same level. Gifts can be good or bad, you can accept it with a smile or a frown. But blessing is... Well, a level above that. It's something that makes you happy and thankful, and you'd never think of it as something bad.
Hm... There's no use denying it. But yeah, last chapter is coming up next. Hope you readers have time to read on Thursday (when I'll post it). The last chapter is very special. :D
I hope you enjoyed the second last chapter!
Review if you please. All comments and suggestions are appreciated.
