Winter, 15th year of the Meiji Era

By Meii-chan

Have you ever been trapped in snow?

Have you ever called out, and no one ever comes?

Perhaps you are too weak;

You were defeated before your birth.

Perhaps no one cares;

Only your voice echoes back…

Was there ever someone that captures your heart?

Was there ever joy and happiness?

Perhaps you have fallen from heaven;

An angel does not feel.

Perhaps angels should fall;

They should not wear apathetic masks…

Who is there to save you?

Who is there to devastate you?

Perhaps people are kind;

They care and accept.

Perhaps people are wary;

They protect only themselves…

When have you persisted?

When have you surrendered?

Perhaps this frail hope can last;

The memory of elation still remains.

Perhaps not all end with happy endings;

Hope fades…

What made you forget your place?

What made you pursue this foolishness?

Perhaps you heard the echoes;

In desperation, you mistook it for fondness.

Perhaps you realized too late;

In this world, you are alone…

Why is no one there?

Why did everyone leave?

Perhaps they just can't be there;

They have their own lives too.

Perhaps they just hate you;

A fallen angel is the essence of death.

That is why you are unanswered.

To be continued…

Synopsis: (because it is impossible to understand the plot in this one) Soujiro is wandering around somewhere when he falls in love. (Joy.) He figures out that having emotions is better than not having emotions. And the thing with the angels is that angels are not supposed to stray from being an angel. (Although Lucifer was made to be the perfect angel, he rebelled against God and was thrown out of heaven, becoming a fallen angel (the devil)).

So everything is all nice and happy until it is revealed that the girl Soujiro likes is actually the antagonist (for whatever reason that doesn't really matter)! She makes his life miserable and Soujiro realizes that the rest of his life isn't going to be simple and happy. He realizes that everyone really hates him, and that's why he is never really "saved" from any situation he's been in. And at the end, Soujiro has reverted to the Tenken, except now he's trying to save his mental, emotional state (id) instead of his physical, practical state (ego). And the thingys in the parentheses are two of the three states of mind in the theory of human nature Freud developed. (and that last part came from English class…Lord of the Flies…)

I have a feeling you're all going to hate me for this, so review and tell me what you think.

Thank you, reviewers!

Another Baka: Smiley faces…Are you the Tenken?

RoseGoddess874: I swear, all we ever do is prepare for exams…--;;;
