All humans should know pain and suffering. They all understand it in different ways. Something that hinders or something that helps. It's like looking at a half glass of milk. Half full? Half empty? Where does pain and suffering stop? Understand it just doesn't always stand up and want to leave. Or does it?

Episode 02: Rekishi
I waited. Will this end up well? If this was real, my legs would shake. *looked outwards to the empty grass field* "Will she make it?" I turned around. A figure was coming my way..was it Feather?
"Hey!" I yelled, sounded like what Feather would yell.
The figure waved. And then it stopped. "Char is that you?!"
"Yeah it's me!"
The figure came into view. It was Feather. I was filled with joy. But she figured out where I would be, that must mean that...
"Well I thought right, this is where I used to be when I just wanted to feel better."
She stood beside me. I looked at her. "So you said you've been there? You know how it feels to be me? But yet you aren't me, you don't even act like who I am now...yet you understand."
"How is it that you sound just like me when someone helped me?"
I laughed. I paused. Joy already? I haven't laughed in years...I looked at Feather and smiled. She was already smiling.
"You see," she continued, "I was just like you. I just wanted a friend to laugh with. I don't know why that person helped me or where he is right now, but he said the most important thing is that people aren't always out there to hurt. It might sound dumb now, but I understand it now."
I didn't know what to say...
She smiled. "So lets start talking about what makes you feel the way you do, I know everyone gets picked on, but what makes it hurt worse?"
I looked away... a leaf flew through the wind. "I... was so young." I took a breath. "My parents had two children before me. They are really nice, but...it's like they aren't real. They only worry about how they look and what they say so they can stay cool. They don't even act like I exist at school. But I am used to that..."
"Well I think that's something you should not give into. That thought, is what gets almost everyone down, cause your not used to it. It hurts every time, you just tell yourself differently."
I thought about it... "I think I understand...I am a person and people should not tell me otherwise."
"Now what else is bothering, because you don't look any happier..."
"Well my parents are also a problem. My dad-"
A monster started to run at us. I drew my sword and she took out her staff. I attacked the monster first, then she cast Ice and several ice blades hit it. The monster fell. We turned around to start again, but the monster swung at Feather. "Look OUT!" I yelled.
"Wha-" she fell down and the monster slashed her again.
She turned black and white. (which means she died, but in this game you can start from where you saved)
I slashed the monster one more time and it fell. I stabbed the monster three times and stopped.
"Great, I guess that means we will have to find each other..." Well I guess that will have to wait until tomorrow...
*Logs off*
