Ideology
By Naito Tenshi
Author's Notes:
Excuse the shortness of this. This was actually an entry made for my Vash roleplay journal, and I kind of liked it a bit so I decided to share it.
Rem...
I'm trying so hard to do what you've always told me to. I'm trying to keep your
philosophy alive... I couldn't save you, but maybe I can save what you believed
in. It's hard, Rem, it really is. I know that Knives is
wrong, but... it's hard to be fighting with him all the time. I don't want
things between us to be like this. Regardless of everything, he is still my
brother, and I miss how things were, back when we were all together on that
ship... But I can't bring the past back, so I guess this is all pretty
pointless, huh?
I want to see you, Rem. I want to show you this world, to show you the people
who are alive now, because of what you did. But, I can't... you're gone. And
they're alive because you're not.
Those people would have died if you had lived... you had to die so they could
live.
You couldn't save everyone, Rem... you couldn't save
yourself.
Then what hope can I possibly have to succeed where you failed?
Regardless, I will continue to try. I will continue to follow your beliefs. And
if I am forced to put my life at risk, and possibly make that sacrifice just as
you did, Rem, I will do so.
And I will always smile, Rem. No matter how much it hurts to force myself to do
so, I will smile, to convey my message of hope and happiness to everyone...
Love and peace.
