Chapter 5: Orphan
It was the one thing they had in common. Not the only thing, but the one, certain, factor that inevitably made them understand each other. Being alone most of their lives, one more than the other, had made them both stronger and weaker. They pushed themselves far too hard, trying to prove their worth to everyone. They upheld the memories of the lost so that they wouldn't lose themselves. One chose darkness, and one chose light – a perfect ying and yang combination of loneliness. But even though neither had parents, they had each other – even if they didn't know it.
