Theme #1: E – 'Empty'
Word Count: 371
What purpose do I have in life? I, Kira Yamato…do I have a purpose in living?
What is a purpose? It's an intention and a reason.
I wasn't supposed to have a purpose in this war. I didn't want to fight when Heliopolis was destroyed. I didn't want to fight at the end, but I had to for other people's sakes: to end this calculated war between humans that had been started by senseless people.
I've killed so many people. I've hurt so many too. I can imagine that people wish me bloody murder in their dreams at night and I sometimes will to feel their desperate hands around my neck. I broke my promises too. Fllay…why did you have to die?
I feel as if I have no place to go now. The war has ended and I'm staring at the white ceiling of the Eternal. Where am I supposed to go? What am I supposed to do?
Athrun and Cagalli. My best friend and my sister. They are happy together. They do not have as much baggage as me. They can go where they choose, but I'm stuck because I'm tainted. I don't want to cry because heaven doesn't deserve to see the tears of a useless being.
I'm a co-ordinator…no. I'm not even that. I've surpassed that stage and I'm the only one. I'm just a successful experiment. Why am I here? I shouldn't have been born into this world…
I recall what Lacus said to me after I returned from the Mendal colony and found out who I really am…
"A long time ago, my mother once told me 'The world belongs to you, just as you belong to the world. That is why you're born into this world.' Meeting you has given me happiness…I want to be with you Kira…"
And it's then that I realise that I do have purpose.
As the door opens and she glides in to see me and her beautiful blue eyes gaze into mine and her pink locks flow behind her, I smile my first real smile since all this unhappiness started.
'I want to be with you too, Lacus…you are my purpose in life. I'm meant to protect you…'
