Chapter 8 - I Write Sins Not Tragedies

As soon as Momiji was done, Ayame rushed to the stage, tripping over the violin as he got there. At first it appeared to have miraculously survived, but as he picked it up a string broke. Momiji started wailing and Aaya had to leave with him to buy a new one before the self-destruct sequence began.

This, however, left nobody to sing.

At all.

So they sat around and kind of bickered until Kureno, tired of hearing Akito's drunken hiccups on his right, strode to the stage and telepathically cued Guy to start the music.

Oh, well, imagine,
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding!
What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"Yes, but what a shame,
What a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."

Obnoxious family, he thought, grimacing each time he thought of something worse.

I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of....

Meddling brats.

Well, in fact,
Well, I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well, this calls for a toast, so
Pour the champagne.
Oh! Well, in fact,
Well, I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well, this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne.

Damned Akito.

I chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Poise and rationality.

Again...

That WRETCHED Akito.

I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of
Closing a goddamn door?"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of
Poise and rationality.

Again...

Ren, he thought, as the blood drained from his face.


He passed out at the song's end.

This created problems, but only for Guy, lugging him off the stage as Akito shouted for more drinks.


Sincerest apologies for my random disappearance; I went through a bit of a depressed stage and I am deeply sorry to any and everybody who was hanging on my every word.

Sincerest condolences to anyone who lacks a social life to the extent that they were hanging on my every word.
