Title: Repentance
Day #23: Sora does not say sorry. All they can do is move on.
Sora wonders how many people he has killed.
The memories are passive and even now Sora can't feel guilt when he thinks of the dead.
But he does when he sees the living. That ninja he carded, Hikage, his name had been. In that moment it had meant nothing, but now Sora knows what he has caused.
All the tears cried for a boy lost to the light of his duel disk.
But if Tsukikage is determined to forgive than Kurosaki Shun will never move on. Kurosaki who glares at him with those eyes, piercing and damning.
Where is Ruri? He seems to ask.
Where is Yuuto?
How dare you take so many innocent lives and believe you deserve forgiveness.
Sora knows how slippery words are. He could manipulate them so well that you can't tell truth from lie.
But he duels in covers Kurosaki's back despite his mind telling him to let the Xyz scum die. And he throws himself in front of a blast to protect his friends because actions cannot be taken back. Not in the way words can.
Sora does not say sorry. It is a useless, worthless word.
All they can do is move on.
