Same as before... by now you should know what needs to be said.
Heh.. Oops. I fixed at least the error of the last chapter with Priss leaving twice. That's what I get for editing a previous draft and adding to it.
Rebirth

Priss:
I returned to Tokyo. I went to the park. I like that park. I wrote a lot of Sekiria's music at that park. It was also the first place I arrived after leaving home. I liked the view. It was that view that convinced me that Tokyo was where I was going to make my new start. I think I have done well.
I never expected to make friends. I really didn't want to be close to anybody after what I had done. I had my band and my music. That was all that mattered. But I also had a lot of anger building up inside me. The love of my life was dead by my hand and I didn't even remember doing it. I should have been sent away for life for my crime but I got away with it. Do you have any idea what that does to a person? I hated my money. I wanted nothing to do with it. I still don't really. But it's there. I took the Knight Saber job as just that. A job. I was getting paid so I didn't have to use my dreaded money and I got to kick some ass. I could get a lot of my aggressions and anger out by taking out the renegade boomers. I never expected to make friends.
Leon. Leon arrived at the park. He came up to me. I showed him the album of the pictures of my last moments with Hiro. He knows now about my past. I saw him cringe at the picture of Hiro lying there dead on the sofa. He could not hide his disgust from me. I don't blame him. It's an image that haunts me every night. He didn't know what to think. I wasn't ready to stand there and talk to him. I didn't expect to run into anybody, especially him so quickly after I returned.
It's pouring rain now. I don't know what I am thinking. Talking with Nigel back at the farm reminded me of the kindness he showed me. I am the person I am today mostly because of him. He convinced me to go on. Leon. He's such a dope. I know that he really does care about me, but I am not sure he is ready to accept the fact that he will never be first in my heart. It's not that I don't care for him. Do I love him? I don't really know. I haven't really loved anybody since Hiro. I love Nigel, but not like I loved Hiro. I could come to love Leon, if he learns to just accept me the way that I am and he stops trying to impress me.
I've got to stop riding. It is raining so hard that I can't see a thing.
