Mowatte Mabase
Chapter 7: Peak
-Advice-
.:.Naota's murky thoughts ran through an aching, hazy mind as the moon started to crest above him. Unwanted feelings shoved to the back of his head vaguely began to mingle with his current concern… Where? Mamimi's spot? Haruko's? Beginning to doubt himself, he reached a decision and tried to believe in it, but sleep would not come. Just as well. Better than wasting my last moments snoring.
.:.4 o'clock in the morning, Naota stood and looked over his current location. A dim streetlight, flickering slowly. A pile of empty soda cans. Old cigarette butts. Used matches. This would work… maybe no one would come here anymore after this. The painful memories that lingered under this bridge shouldn't have to haunt anyone but him, and he was meaning to take them away with him.
.:.Knowing by this time he couldn't turn back… he wouldn't… there was nothing waiting for him… On the other side nothing would be his bliss… Naota shook his head and tried to focus his drifting mentality. No one needed to deal with this besides him; he would make it obvious enough. He wouldn't cause any trouble… like he could have if he wanted to… He dropped his bag into the river and watched it slowly be lugged along the stream bottom until the water was deep enough for it to sink. The Vespa was perched up by the godforsaken soda machine, and the only items left on his person were his guitar and the razor blade in his pocket. Goodbye evidence.
.:.Fastening the guitar on his back as there was no other solution, he sighed and pulled his sleeve up, revealing his wrist. Pulling out the blade, he slowly raised it to his arm. As he paused, holding it awkwardly, images of his former life flashed through his mind until he couldn't stand it anymore. Falling to his knees, he murmured and took the first cut. Blood splattered onto his shoes, sickly and thick. He held back the urge to whimper in pain, going deeper this time. Positive this would be the end. This was his suppressant and the only way out.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you like this ending, then stop reading here.
