I couldn't help myself. After seeing the condition Joe was going through in "Frozen Time", I had to write a quick introspection. The somewhat insane laughing in that one scene didn't help the situation either. Yes, I know how late it is. I wrote it a while back and forgot to upload it.
It's so quiet…
Just silence, no sounds…
No Chang or G.B. bickering, no waves gently lapping against the shore, no pencil against paper from Dr. Gilmore's office, no words uttered, no Ivan floating around the cottage, no breezes, no Françoise's gentle humming…
I miss those sounds. I want to hear those sounds again. I want the chance to talk with my friends, no, my family once again. To laugh with them. To just be around… when they know that I'm there.
I've been alone before, back at the orphanage when I was a kid, but now… it's much worse. I can see them, but they can't see me. To be right next to them, and yet feel as though we were worlds apart. Their bodies are there, but their presences are long gone. Just as I was.
"I just wish I could see something move!"
And it still feels like forever since I've heard their sounds…
"…Udoitekure…"
Is this going to be my fate? To stay trapped in this silence until the day I die? To be alone for the rest of my life?
"…Nanka ite…"
I don't want to think about it, but it may be true.
"…I'm all alone…"
I'm half wishing that someone would come up to me, and tell me that this is all just a cruel joke. Or that I'll wake up in the lab, and find out that this is really a nightmare. A twisted and painful one.
"…I wait…"
The days pass… I wait, and wait, alone… Barely milliseconds pass for everyone else. But even more days go by for me.
"…And still I wait…"
Just what are you writing to me Dr. Gilmore? Is it about the acceleration switch?
"…More days pass, and still I wait. All by myself…"
Dr. Gilmore, Françoise, Ivan… Can't you guys see that I'm right here!? Please, just move, even just an inch. Say something, please!
"…Udoitekure. Nanka ite…"
I'm here… I'm just moving too fast. But I'm here. I'm here!
"…Watashiwa koko ni imasu... "
I don't want to be outside time anymore. I don't want to be worlds apart from everyone else. I wish I never had this acceleration switch!
"…Someone help me…"
I… I'll be alone forever won't I?
Like I said, couldn't resist. Sorry.
If it seems confusing, that's what I was going for. –Sigh-- I knew I shouldn't have repeated that scene with the crazy laughter. Anyways, over the course of the month, it was apparent that his mind was… a little off.
Udoitekure- Move.
Watashiwa koko ni imasu- I'm here.
Nanka ite- Say something.
