Unexpected Things

By: Aviantei

Unexpected life given. Childhood progresses. An awareness of the lives beyond lives, so distorted that you hesitate to call them living. They only exist. They don't exist. They never did. They were only a dream. Nothing more. Convince yourself.

Unexpected death. Fierce denial. Your existence is reduced to seven days, use them as wisely or as flippantly as you wish. No longer able to rely on others, you must earn life on your own. How will you even succeed? Do you wish for life again that badly?

Unexpected power. The world at the tip of your fingers. How will you proceed? The possibilities are endless. Your selfish whims create the foundation that holds up the rest of the world. You are lost but you are also unstoppable.

Unexpected proposal brought in a time of nothingness. You are bored. You are disgusted. You agree anyways. There's nothing better to do. There's no point in maintaining the responsibility. A high stakes game with lives at risk is the only way to induce a flutter of excitement. You cheat.

Unexpected hope. It starts so gradually that you don't even notice. By the time you're ready to end the game, you've already won. You are not satisfied. You should be reaping the spoils of your world. You should not be hesitating. You pull the trigger.

The world, unexpecting, goes on.

This one's just mostly messing around with incomplete Yoshiya headcanons because I can't make up my mind on some of them... Oh well, I like it anyways.

Much thanks to A Paper Flower, Amulet Misty, and Chronic Guardian for your wonderful reviews on the last chapter. I'm glad to know you all enjoyed it! And additional thanks to nanaxkitty for the follow! I'd love to hear your thoughts as well!

But I really am glad that everyone liked the Shiki poem so much... I'll probably try writing another one about her at some point~. If you guys have suggestions on what to talk about with Shiki's character, I'd love to hear it!

Due to focusing on other projects, this collection probably won't update for a while...but I'll still be trying to work on this collection, so it will update in time!

The next planned release will be about Neku again. Please look forward to it!
