Just a puppet
An extension of will
No matter what
He might think or feel
He was made of ice
Cold as snow
How could he have sunk
This low?
Don't smile
Don't cry
Don't feel
You're mine
Akito's tone when he said that
Was as cold as the ice inside
The frost that had settled
And would forever abide
Akito had him as his slave,
For his orders he obeyed,
But even the cold winter inside
Wondered what spring would have made
Don't smile
Don't cry
Don't feel
You're mine
He thought of the bargain that he had made
The words that had made the hope of spring fade
'As long as I obey your every word...
do you promise not to hurt her?'
'Follow my orders to the letter
And maybe, just maybe, I will let her live
But I don't see why you would do this, Kureno
For her, how much you would give.'
'It is something you wouldn't understand
Something you are without
For all your power over us,
Your power over this, I doubt.'
'ENOUGH! Become the winter inside
Let your heart and feelings die
I have power over you! All the rest!
You lie! You lie! YOU LIE!!!'
'There are some things you can't control
No matter how you try
Me, half-brother, you can for now-
But I don't think I lie.'
White hot pain
Had flared behind his eyes
Maybe if I'm lucky
If she's lucky, I'll die

That way, she can be safe
His wrath will not come to her
I won't have to be Akito's slave
To do his dirty work
Tears stung his eyes as he remembered-
Remembered her death
Remembered that he hadn't died
And that he was the only one left
I must live to keep alive our love
No matter what his task
The questions of morality
Those, I must not ask
I must remain the winter
I am bound to Akito's will
Must keep myself alive
Even if I have to kill
But even the winter
Thinks from the depths of cold
The cold created by
The very feelings of his soul
Don't smile
Don't cry
Don't feel
You're mine
