Tears

By Ryia Jen Rowen



The room was dark. A figure sat in the window staring into the dark night and snow, crying softly.

The door whispered open, throwing a beam of light on the floor. A small figure stood in the doorway, looking into the darkness at his friend.



He crossed the room silently. He placed a hand on his crying friend's shoulder, and said softly "What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

The crying figure stared out into the night and whispered, "I cry for those who've died. I cry for Chill Penguin, Armored Armadillo, Sting Chameleon, Storm Eagle, Launch Octopus, Flame Mammoth, Wheel Gater, Overdrive Ostrich, and all the others. I cry for Vile. I cry for all those I've killed, I even cry for Sigma. I cry for Dr. Light, Dr. Wiley, and Dr. Cain… I cry for those who live. I cry for the ones who have to kill. I cry for you too…"

"Are you included in that list? Do you cry for yourself as well?"

The crying figure sighed and shook his head. "No, I don't cry for myself. I was created for this job, this life. I am living part of my destiny. I should have no regrets. There is no reason to cry for me. Now, would you please go X?"

X nodded and patted his friend on the shoulder before turning to go. Once outside, X looked at the closed door with tears in his eyes. He whispered to the door. "Then I'll cry for you, because you try to believe that you are not worthy of tears. If anyone deserves them, it would be you."

X slowly walked back to his room, where he cried for his best friend Zero Omega.
