Summary: Jiro's thoughts after the destruction of DARK.

"Colorful Gray"

Jiro's POV

Was I wrong? Should I have killed Gill? After all that he's put everyone through, he deserves all that he can get. But then again, everyone makes mistakes and they deserve a chance to correct it, even Gill.

Sometimes I wish I didn't have a Gemini, then life wouldn't be so complicated. Like Ichiro said, "it's always best to keep things simple." Brother, I'm sorry. I never wanted to destroy you or Rei but the submission circuit left me with no choice. If I could've done otherwise, I would've. My Gemini is the cause of all this. If I didn't have it, maybe you and Rei would still be here with me. Orders and my emotions tend to clash too often, causing all this pain, guilt, and sadness within me. But without it, I never would've felt what it's like to feel joy, happiness, and love.

Speaking of which, I made a promise to Mitsko that I'll go back, but should I? After all I've done, she'd probably hate me. Mad machine.those words hurt. I still remember that day, all the emotions I felt when she called me a mad machine. Anger, shock, sadness, and guilt all mixed together to become a shade of colorful gray of nothing but pain. I couldn't bear it if that happens again.

I'm a murderer and who could ever love a murderer? I'm not even human to begin with, so what right do I have to be with a human? Mitsko deserves someone better than me. I'm just a machine, a stupid machine! I can already feel tears beginning to swim in my eyes and I let them fall freely. Drop by drop, they cascade down my face and drip by drip they add up to become a puddle of salty tears.

If I don't go back to Mitsko, where can I stay? Where can I go? Where exactly do I belong? I'm a murderer, a criminal, forever running away from the light day, trying to find somewhere where no one could recognize my face. Should I go back to where I once was? I've made up my mind. I'm going to stay. I'm going to leave all I once knew, all I ever had, and start again.

Sleep is beginning to nag at me. I close my eyes and let out a sigh as a cool breeze ruffles my hair. Sleep is slowly washing over me, drowning away my thoughts and pain. "Mitsko, I'm sorry. Please don't ever hate me. I love you." I whispered into the wind before I fell unconscious.
