It's been 33 years. Is anything going to happen at this point?
I rest my head against this sakura tree for support once again.
I found that there is a bountiful amount of problems that you will find whenever you are stuck in the same place for 33 years.
Firstly, I found that eating was unnecessary. Which I would guess that would mean that I'm not human.
Pfft, not like I was human that long ago.
Secondly, taking care of your hygiene is a must, or at least find a place without all those pesky flies.
Thirdly, I started talking to myself quite often. It might not be the most exciting thing to do. But hey, at least it's better than memorizing the exact structure of the building in front of me.
I also found out that, if I sit still enough, I can be seen as a statue memorializing the past, which is cool. Sometimes people drop coins in front of me, thinking that I'm some godly figure represented through a statue. I have no use for them, as I don't really have somewhere to go in the first place.
I look up to find the tree to be in full bloom.
That's cool...
"My child..."
Ouch!
A large voice boomed in my head "... your fated one is ever so close..."
Wait. Wait. Wait. Who are you? And also, the 'Fated one'? Who the hell is that? Is it Zero Two? Who is it?!
"...Soon enough, there will be a day when you two meet once again, and to that, I give you my blessings." And slowly the voice slowly faded away into nothingness.
Don't leave me! This is the first time in 33 years someone spoke to me! Please don't leave me like this! At least... tell me how much longer I have to stay here...
And an instant later, darkness soon surrounded me as I was knocked out. My thoughts were blank. Nothing woke me up from my slumber.
Not the loud honks of the cars of people rushing towards any place they are destined to go. Not the rustle and bustle of the people around me as they talk to their friends and family. Not the people who sit right next to me in order to take a picture for their family in the country-side.
"Ouch!"
I suddenly awoke. And as my eyes grudgingly opened up, the lights of the city blinded me. And as my eyes slowly got used to the lights surrounding me, I couldn't help but notice the small pink blob in-front of me.
Pink huh. Very familiar. Just like Zero Two eh? Heh. Heh.
As my mouth opens to ask if they are ok, I lost all sensation of the book that I carried in my arms. I looked around my surroundings with the same blurred vision that I had earlier, soon moving my arms around on the floor as I was getting desperate.
Did someone steal it? Or did it get moved when I was out?
My vision slowly got better as I kept looking around for the book.
This is my only connection to Zero Two right now, I can't afford to lose it.
And then, I heard it.
"Iota! Are you alright?"
It was the voice of an angel. An angel that I recognize. I tear up from all these things happening at once, losing the book and being able to hear the voice of one that I thought I would never see again. I silently thank the voice that popped in my head not too long ago.
"It doesn't hurt that much."
"Well that's good and all, but you still have to be careful alright?"
"Ok miss"
"Now, let's start going back to the picnic and..."
Her voice trailed as she saw something, and then, someone.
"D-Darling?"
I opened my eyes to see Zero Two in her beautiful glory with clear vision once more. I smile. Tears are starting to gush out of my eyes as I slowly make out a response.
"Hey Zero Two. It's nice to see you again."
And a hug soon ensued.

Hey guys, Alan here. I know it's been a long-ass time since I last posted, but I hope it's ok with you guys. I've recently graduated, and might plan on updating this a bit more. Don't mind the difference between this chapter, and the last. It's all ok.
And poor Iota had to sit there staring at two adults crying and staring at each other while saying some random names.
:(
But until next time~A
