Kai:
I sit in my room contemplating what to do about this dilemma, do I go to Mr. Dickinson and complain- complain to the man that looked after me when I almost ended myself? Who got me through the hardships of what we call afterabbey syndrome (AAS). Ok, he's getting a bit old and senile but I wouldn't hurt him, but I suppose I have to…. Why? Life used to be so easy. Wake up, train, ignore the team, train some more, and go to bed. Easy. But now, I get up and wonder what to do with myself, I suppose I should do something for the sport that's done so much for me, but how do I do that without hurting Mr. D? Maybe I should seek advice, yes, that's what I'll do. So I reach for my mobile on the table in front of me and search for Rei's number, no one would believe the amount that guy has helped me through, but my heart is wholly Tala's, for now and forever.
Tala:
The soul of my sport is vanishing, with every new beyblade design that comes out another portion of the centuries of devotion to beyblading is destroyed and I'm not over exaggerating. I went out to the library yesterday and researched into the depths of beyblade history. Bitbeasts are not meant to be made, they come to you when you're worthy, and C.G bitbeasts may involve everyone but they don't get across the very core of beyblading. Only the best may reach the stars and many people who think they have are in a false stardom. You cannot have the same respect for false stars as you do for the stars of yesteryear. Alexander that came to the abbey ages ago, when Kai first returned empty minded, was thrown out and went into medical science. I must visit him again tomorrow, he will give me my pills back, hopefully.
Kai:
xI'm so sorry Rei, I didn't mean to, honest xI say to him
xDon't worry, some things aren't meant to be shared, I shouldn't of pressured you xthank you Rei, thank you for understanding.
xI know how you feel x Does he? Can anyone?
xHow? x
xI was abused as a child, but not on such a scale as yours x
xOh. I never knew, you should've said xcomparison can help, I should know.
xI know, but I was too busy thinking of my pride and what you guys would think of me after x Ah, the same reasons I still use.
xThank you Rei, it's always easier with someone you trust who's been through the same x
xspeaking off people who've shared our experiences, How's Tala? Have you kept in contact? x Tala. I wish we had. I'm sorry my love, as the line hangs in silence a fresh wave of bittersweet tears cascade over the scars upon my face.
xOh. I'm sorry x
xDon't be, it's…Oh it's fucking awful! xI exclaim, Rei gasps on the other end at my outburst, I don't blame him.
xHow can it be that awful, were you that close? xWere we that close? I wish he had said that years ago, I understand now.
xRei, I love him. x
xAh. xI can see Rei's face now, half petrified half inquisitive.
Tala:
The time has come….
