Courage of Your Convictions
Poem 2: Stop
Speaker: Yuki Jojima
Story: Horseshoes and Hand Grenades
"STOP!"
That single word pierces through the silence.
I stand there, watching Gen-chan being killed off
By the Kamen Rider ally that helped us time and time again.
I don't run. I just ball my faces and scream for this madness to end.
But the madness didn't end. Meteor, no Ryusei, you killed Gen-chan.
You killed off my best friend since childhood.
You killed off the same person who would do anything to help you out.
And what was all of this for? To save your friend?
You wanted the madness to stop, so why did you go to the Aries Zodarts?
We could've saved him in the end, and do it without someone dying.
My word echoes in my head as I see Gentaro fall
I could only watch him die because I could not save him.
Even now, the words continue to haunt me no matter where I go
Taunting me because I, his very dear friend, could not save him.
"Stop!"
The enemy always says that to me, mocking me for my inaction
They want to see me cry. They want me see my break.
I will not let that happen. I will stop them before they stop me.
I will stop this madness once and for all.
