Dear Reader,

Fifteen minutes before class started I began to write this little gem… Ten minutes later I was finished. It's just a peek at what Ritsuka's head might look like.

I do not own Loveless.

Here's to BEST BUY! HUZZAH FOR ANIME!

Thanks to my friend Degel for taking me shopping with him!

Thanks to my other friends and to Everfire who first introduced me to Loveless! With you, my friend, I am never without love!

Stay safe

Stay healthy

Sincerely,

Starr Bryte

In the mirror is a boy with my face.

I have never known this boy nor will I ever know him.

His name is Ritsuka.

He was a good boy.

He loved his mother.

He loved his brother.

He loved his life.

He had more friends than A+ grades.

He had more friends than B+ grades.

He loved his life.

So when he dissapeared and another took his name and his place people asked why?

Why?

Where?

Who?

How?

Why?

And his mother became very sad.

She became sick at heart.

She began to hit her son's body, hoping that her son would return and ask, "Mommy, why do you hit me?"

But he never did.

So the boy wearing Ritsuka's face lives Ritsuka's life.

Or tries too…

I don't think I'm doing very well…

I do not question who I am.

I do not question why I am here.

I only question how.

How did this happen?

Where did Ritsuka go?

Exorcisms don't work.

Hypnosis doesn't work.

Therapy doesn't work.

No one can find Ritsuka.

No matter how hard they try.

It's as if Ritsuka never existed.

As if he's gone to a place where no one can find him.

Like Seimei.

So I wear Ritsuka's face and try to live his life.

Try…

I don't think I'm doing very well…

I have more A+ grades than I have friends.

I don't like people in my personal space.

They say they love me.

But how can I know what love is when I can't even love myself?

I have no right to.

So I try to find the answeres to those questions.

And if one day I find those answers and Ritsuka comes back… I'll be dead…

Won't I?

I don't want to think about it…

But if Ritsuka does come back and I die, I'll have to have someone else ask him.

"Where did you go Ritsuka and how can I find it?"

I wonder if it's a better place than where I am now…
