Nicol- My unshed tears
To lead a normal life without any war was his dream.
To play his music in front of the whole world was his dream.
To be a good friend to Athrun was his dream.
But the war would not permit it.
He felt lucky to have survived his very first battle.
He felt honored to be the one who had directly led to the downfall of Artemis.
He felt happy when he was back to his parents side.

For now you are safe, but you have your nightmares. Open your mind and let me in. Let me show you what darkness is. Your light repels me, but your calm nature irks me. Hurry and let me in. Let me show you darkness. Let me show you fear. Your barriers are strong for now, but I believe I will be the winner in the end.
I always have won.
You are no different.
Mortal.

Nicol's POV
I sit down in front of my piano and revel in its light.
Its amazing how an instrument can reflect a person's feelings.
The piano is no different.
I simply just play a tune.
I start to drown myself in the beauty of it.

Called away to battle once more.
Not knowing if he would survive it.
He gave his parents a hug,
For it could very well be his last.
He fought to protect his friends in the Blitz.
In Blitz, he saw Yzak promise revenge.
In Blitz, he saw Dearka fighting his best.
In Blitz, he saw Athrun plead with his friend to join him.
In Blitz, he saw the Klueze squad waver slightly.
But still he fought for his home.

He though he was lucky.
But he was wrong.
Fate had decided to interfere with his life at long last.
And Fate did it the cruel way.
When he fought against Athrun, he had damaged the Aegis badly.
He saw Aegis faltering, and he dove to help.
He told Athrun to run.
He fought against the Strike.
The odds were soon in his favour.
But then…he realized too late the Strike's beam saber.
It cut through his cockpit…into him.
He tried to cry.
But he couldn't.
As he died,
He wished for the tears to come.
He did not have any regrets.
His only regret:
Why did he make others shed their tears,
When he couldn't even shed his own?
