Notes: For all of you who read Trowa and

Justice...what does it mean? I am
completely at its mercy, and yet I do not know what it is. Isn't
that simply pitiful? I fight for something I cannot name.But then
again, even justice is not what I fight for. I fight for Nataku,
who believed in justice.
I'm not sure if she even knew what
justice was. She knew it was a virtue to be fought for, but she
never told me its meaning. I used to hate her, and we bickered
like the children we were...until, of course, her dying moments
brought us together...a little too late, yes, but still together
for as long as I live.
Those moments will always haunt me, no
matter how much I try to forget. Her eyes, her smile, her last
words...the kindest compliment I have ever recieved or will ever
recieve. She haunts me in my dreams...the scene of her death
plays over and over again. "Like an endless waltz",
that girl Mariemeia would say. Heh, it's so embarrassing to
believe that I considered her my superior when she was so much
younger than me. But it plays on and I must dance to it, whether
or not I'm up to dancing.
I can't believe I didn't see it in the past. How could I have
missed the fact? She couldn't show that she loved me, it would
seem to be a sign of weakness. And the last thing she wanted was
to be considered weak in my eyes, in the eyes of the clan. But
somehow, she loved me, as I did her.
Why did I show it, you ask? For her safety. If I showed taht I
loved her as I did, they surely would have expected us to make
love in order to create an heir to the clan...which was the whole
purpose of our marriage. I didn't want to hurt her...and it
surely would have hurt.
I never proved my worth to her...she said that I was strong,
stronger than herself. What a lie! She stood by to fight for what
she believed in, while I acted as a coward. How could I be
stronger than just, powerful, strong Nataku? There is no one,
living or dead, who is stronger than Nataku...Nataku, my loved
one, whose mortal name is Meiran.
I will never forget her, but my life must go on...the first
stop is my Gundam. Altron Custom, it is called, but to me it is
Nataku. I have now learned of her true resting place, which is
within my soul. I press the self-denotation button, at peace at
last. Nataku, may you rest in peace...as well as myself.
