Unknown
I walked through Central with a hood over my head and holding the large oversized jacket closer to my body. Puddles surrounded my every movement seeping into my shoes every time I dared to take a single step. Everyone was either inside or under umbrellas talking amongst themselves. As I walked closer to an alleyway I heard the mention of Penelope. My eyes widen and crept behind a small trash can starting to listen into the conversation. “Everyone has her channel on… Listening to her story…” A man stated and then scoffed. “She’s going to expose this military… Maybe that’s her true intentions, to ruin our leaders for revenge.”
“Revenge for what?” The other man asked.
While listening I couldn’t help but tighten my fists. I know the girl is distraught but even she knows this would happen, perhaps she just doesn’t care. “After she came back with the younger Elric brother she was distraught, she had a breakdown, beat up her own Commanding Officer, and people abused her. Not only that rumor has it she had a romantic relationship with her partner, so people beat her up for that too.”
My jaw weighted down on each other remembering how broken she turned out to be. It was an awful sight for me to even to behold. Looking down I closed my eyes and rested forehead on the side of the cold wet metal. “So the officials are talking about her fate?”
The other man laughed and I could feel him nod from where I sat. “Yeah, she’ll dead by the end of the week.” My breathing seemed to stop just hearing this as I slowly lowered myself lower than I already was. I want to see her but she would beg for me to leave. The sight of this face would send her into a mental breakdown. Because I wear the face of someone innocent and then shredded it right in front of her. How could I? What a cruel reality it is to live in.
Human kind cannot gain without first giving something in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we thought that was the world's one and only truth.
-Alphonse Elric-
Ready, Steady can’t hold me back
Ready, Steady give me good luck
Ready Steady never look back
Lets get started!
Ready Steady GO!
The landscape blows on by me,
as I roll my way forward
and even if things get desperate
I won’t lose sight of the goal now!
You can take those unreliable maps and burn them up!
I’m going to take those hidden truths,
and snatch them in the palm of my hand!
Delirious, (Speedily),
I’ve broken through this far,
My heart is beating so loud and hard,
it feels like it’s about to burst!
Your voice echoes as you call out to me,
but I just don’t have the time to stop where I am
Ready, Steady, Go!
Please, trust me!!!
Ready, Steady, Go- L’arc en Ciel
