A/N: Same as Chapter 21, Chapter 22 is also a poem! But this time, it was on Karma's point of view, and longer than Nagisa's poem.
It was hard for me to write a poem and capture Karma's personality at the same time. I hope this will suffice.
The memories of your obnoxious smile are still here,
Haunting me from inside and out.
I promised myself not to cry,
But here I am...On your side.
Mourning for your loss, watching you fading away from us.
I felt like I had lost the person I really adored.
For you are the only teacher who really care for me.
You don't care if I was a demon,
Who always teases you and stole some loose changes.
You opened my eyes,
You changed me.
You gave me hope.
You let me shine.
You made me on top.
You made me realize my true potential.
I wanted you to stay, to be honest.
Even though I said I wanted to kill you.
I just wanted to remain our bond,
Assassin and target, that united us together.
Now on your final stand,
I just stood there hopeless.
Watching you defend us,
Your greatest weakness.
I saw you get tired,
I saw your smile.
I saw you face your own fate,
I saw you...fly away.
Little specks came to light,
As your tentacles in my hand starts to dissipate.
I looked at the crescent moon,
Trying to stop the tears that threatened to fall.
Why?
Why would you do it?
Why would you be gone?!
WHY?!
Then I realized...
It is the only choice.
You are happy,
That is all that matters.
I don't want you to fly away...
I don't want to break the bond,
But I had no choice.
Now it is time to let you go.
Sleep, my dear teacher,
And rest in peace.
The crescent moon is smiling,
And I know you are there.
