Chapter 6: The Last Second
A.N.: This chap contains spoilers of the vol. 6 of the mangas.
It's funny, really. How there's so much time, in the last heartbeat, in the last second, before death. Time to remember, plenty of time as you see your blood running and your death approaching. Maybe it is a punishment for our sins, to remember everything when you are about to die: all your mistakes, all the 'what ifs', all the things you would give anything to change, everything tormenting you until there's no life in your body. But all is worth if I can see you again, if I can be with you once more, if only for a single second seeing your face again. It is funny and tormenting, to see your life passing before you like a movie. I know that's so a cliché, but it is really painful to remember everything you are trying to escape from, everything you took your life to forget.
Do you remember, Al? The month on that island where teacher left us in training? Remember the time when we talked of what would happen if we died there? You said that everybody would be sad, but I said that it was a self-centered way of looking at it and we finally concluded that, from a universal perspective, whether we live or die doesn't matter, that the world would keep going as if nothing happened. We concluded that we were just a small, insignificant part of the world, that once our lives are over, all that remains is our physical bodies. Water, carbon, ammonia, lime, phosphorous, sodium, potassium, sulfur, manganese, aluminum…Our bodies are nothing but a composite of those and other few elements fated to decompose and become part of the circle of life once again.
Hehe…it's funny how life herself made sure to show me how foolish and horrible wrong I was. She made sure to teach me that without you I'm alone. But she also taught me that you too were wrong, because without you there I wasn't sad as you said, without you there's was simply nothing to live for. That's why I did what I did, because without you I was nothing, without you there was nothing anymore.
All is starting to get black and cold…guess my last second…is over…

A.N.: I'm sorry this chap is so short but I really wanted it to be ready for last Monday but I couldn't update until today. Why? Simply, it was my birthday and I wanted to give it to you as my thank-you-gift for you all! I know it should be the way around but I'm all but normal so… anyways chaps will start to be shorter so I can be able to update more frequently. I already have the next two chaps ready but I will wait at least 2 weeks to update. Hey is not easy to take 20 credits in the university (I feel so nerd n.n') and no, that's not a good thing … anyways plz let me know what you think and expect of the story…your opinion is very important to me. Thx to all of you who reviewed my last chap! I love you all people!
