'Hovering On The Edge'
Utena feels the time slipping by in a waterfall of crystal grains through the neck of the largest hourglass in the world. She can feel the edge of the swell of something too colossal for her to even comprehend, great and bloated and dark as the middle of a thunderstorm.
As she sips her tea and eats her cookies with Anthy, as she discusses life past graduation, (as if there was any hope for it to begin with), she can almost sense the world hurtling through a distance very far away and very close, poised on the edge of destruction. She can almost hear the sound of everything shattering broken and hollow and echoing, leaving only fragments to show that it ever existed.
Utena can feel herself racing towards the end of a world, and knows too late that she might not be ready for it.
