Lovino was bored with the meeting. He and Spain had driven, and an interesting song set had played on the radio. It was the only two songs they'd been able to hear. The first was odd, but the second was just creepy. The first had been called iNSaNity, and the second one was Dark Marukaite Chikyuu. Both had been primarily in Japanese, but one had some English words, and the other a few Italian words.
What was creepier was the fact that last one had sounded like Japan was singing it.
'I will not break.' I thought that line to myself repeatedly, I had to. Then I realized that everyone was silent and staring at me. "What?" I made myself ask, trying to sound like my normal self. "What the fuck do all of you want?" I even added in a swear, because if I didn't, even America would realize that something was up.
"Er, Romano… do you need a break?" Germany asked. Okay, now I was just plain obvious, wasn't I?
"…sure…" I replied numbly, barely shifting my gaze up.
"Okay then. We are taking a fifteen minute break."
I forced myself up and outside. I remembered that there was a sakura tree nearby, so I went there.
When I got to the tree, I noticed that it would be easy to climb, so I did. The tree was in full bloom. Insanity, like floating on air, Psychopathy, a carefree life. Where did THAT come out of? Oh, yea, that one song, iNSaNity. I decided to make a sakura crown. For you, Shi, I thought when I finished the crown.
It would fit on the head of a child of about four or five very nicely. A female child, because it wasn't your average circlet; no, it looked like a miniature queen's crown.
I smiled softly. I knew it would have fit Shi perfectly. At least, it would have that day… I sighed, depressed once more.
Then I saw her. She was standing there, right at the edge of the grounds of the UN building, looking at me.
"Sh… Shiori?"
