Part 20 Act 1

"Hi, Robaire~ Have you thought about what you want to submit to perform at the festival?" "Well... Being in this club is one thing, but performing infront of a bunch of people... "...I'll have to give it some more thought." "Okay, no pressure! But whatever you do, I'm sure it'll turn out great. It would also make me happy to see. Ahaha! Anyway, let's take a look at today's poem!" "Sure..." I let Jesse take the poem I'm holding in my hands. "... Ahaha. It's kind of funny..." "How so?" "No, not the poem... I mean, it's funny how your poems and Aaron's poems have been getting more and more similar to each other every day. I'm surprised you're so in sync with him. Then again, you've been spending a lot of time together lately, haven't you?" "Ah, I guess you could say that... Although we kind of grew up as best friends, I haven't been seeing as much of him this past year... But since I joined the club, we've been spending a lot more time together again." "I see, I see~ That reminds me... About how Aaron's been a little bit off today..." "Yeah? Did he tell you something?" "Ah... Well... Robaire, you haven't been flirting with him, have you?" "O-Of course not! I've been treating him like I always do." "Alright. Just making sure~ I know how much you care about him... It would be terrible if something bad happened to him, so keep an eye on him. Aaron's been acting so much happier ever since you joined the club. What could have happened all of a sudden...?" "..." "...Well, never mind. This really isn't the time to be talking about this... Anyway...! I'll share my poem with you now, alright?" "Er... Alright..."

The Lday who Knows Everything

An old tale tells of a lady who wanders Earth.
The Lady who Knows Everything.
All meaning,
All purpose,
And all that was every sought.

And here I am,

       A feather

Lost adrift the sky, victim of the currents of the wind.

Day after day, I search.
I search with little hope, knowing legends don't exist.
But when all else had failed me,
When all others have turned away,
The legend is all that remain–the last dim star glimmering in the twilit sky.

Until one day, the wind ceases to blow.
I fall.
And I fall, and fall, and fall even more.
Gentle as a feather.
A dry quill, expressionless

But a hand catches me between the thumb and forefinger.
The hand of a beautiful lady.
I look at her eyes and find no end to her gaze.

The Lady who Knows Everything knows what I am thinking.
Before I can speak, she responds in a hollow voice.
"I have found every answer, all of which amount to nothing.
There is no meaning.
There is no purpose.
And we seek only the impossible.
I am not your legend.
Your legend does not exsit."

And with a breath, she blows me back afloat, and I pick up a gust of wind.

"You know... I feel like learning and looking for answers are the sorts of things that give life meaning. Not to get too philosophical or anything... But it was kind of on my mind, so that's what I wrote about." "I see... I never really put much thought into it." 'In a way, it's almost paradoxical. Because if we had all the answers, wouldn't the world start to lose meaning?" "You know, there's one thing I noticed... It seems like everyone in the club prefers writing about things that are more sad than happy." "Ahaha. Are you surprised? I mean, if everything was okay... We wouldn't really have anything to write about, would we? Humans aren't two-dimensional creatures. I think you'd know that better than anyone." "You mean one-dimensional...?" "Ah...yeah, that! Anyway... Here's Jesse's Writing Tip of the Day! Are you ever too shy to share your writing because you're afraid it's not that good? It can really be disheartening to get a lukewarm response to something you put so much into. But if you find other people who enjoy writing, then sharing becomes a lot easier! Because instead of just telling you that your writing is good, or okay, or bad... They'll want to focus more on everything  that went into it, and the things you can work on. It's much more encouraging that way, and it will make you want to continue improving. It's almost like having your own little Literature Club, don't you think? ...That's my advice for today! Thanks for listening~"
