Words of a Phoenix
Author: Tears of Light shall be written, but first thing's first: Finishing Utena Forever!
Only the girl in my father's picture knows. I have never met her, I don't know her name, but I know who and what she was or is. She is my aunt, and was the Rose Bride far before I was born. I grew up with my stepmother, Ohtori Hitomi. I looked over the story, Unfinished Melody and found so many things unsaid. I have been told not to mention anything.
I also found a picture of a girl with pale hair and eyes in a boy's uniform and I know that she was the Girl Who Would be Prince, Revolutionist and Victor of Duels. The Duels are going to start, and I see a girl who is a senior. She is proud, arrogant, popular. . . and yet somehow noble. She has long red hair, green eyes and a thin, sad face-yet she smiles all the time.
She has a picture of the Revolutionist. My mother (I do not remember Kanae well at all, so I call Hitomi mother) recognizes the other as the Red Rose Duelist. There are also two boys in her picture. I do not know the names, but I do know that one of them attends Ohtori, but the two do not travel in the same circles and rarely meet.
My mother only remembers that she came from far away. She does not remember anything before Ohtori and marrying my father. I see the strands of the web drawing close. All that had happened before-even the Duels is but nothing to the great web that fate has woven through Destiny. I do not claim knowledge of the future. I am merely an observer, and have been for many years.
Now the Revolution shall open the world's shell, and the chick shall live. . . maybe.
