Hikari:
I know he doesn't mean it,
When he gets angry and loses control.
I am merely the closest one,
The only one who knows who he is,
What he is.
Sometimes he'll catch himself,
And disappear with a brief flash of guilt in his eyes
Before it's covered up with disdain.
He thinks he can hide forever,
But sooner or later
We're going to be needed
To face whatever has been set before us.
And if we're going to survive,
We're going to have to learn
To trust in each other,
To be able to get past the barriers.
He'll never admit it,
But he's frightened.
I can hear him,
When he's in the Ring at night
And in a deep sleep.
His thoughts drift to me,
Unhindered by the usual walls.
His dreams are dark,
Filled with shadowed figures,
Screaming,
Tears,
Blood,
Fear,
Death.
Nothing but nightmares,
Nothing but pain.
This knowledge offers little comfort,
But at least it gives understanding;
A way to deal with his anger.
I know he grows suspicious
Of how much I know,
And I more wary;
Afraid of how he'll take it
If he thinks I know too much.
Sometimes I can see the look in his eyes
When he's looking at me
And doesn't think I see him.
It's an uncertain look,
Wary,
Distrustful,
Yet at the same time
There's an almost longing in them.
For what, I cannot say.
For what I have?
For my life?
He says I'm too soft,
But sometimes I have to wonder
Just who is the stronger...
