><><Eiko's POV><><


I cry and cry and cry some more.

I cry until I have run out of tears, but I still feel like crying.

The puddles of tears on the ground begin to take the form of some symbols:「  」  。and ~.

All of the strange, crystal-like symbols are clear, with a tiny bit of red because of the blood from my left eye.

I pick them all up, and suddenly, they begin to glow white. I shield my eyes.

Suddenly, I see the faces of my sisters in the gems. Their expressions are fearful, mournful, and somewhat determined.

The jewelry suddenly goes onto me, and I feel a surge of power- power, given to me by the gems.

I smile wider, now feeling powerful, like I can get revenge on the demon who killed my sisters.

My smile then fades, though, for I realize... It's my fault that they died. Because I'm such a koshinuke- a coward.. I had to hide. I couldn't just fight and help them out. Because I'm a coward.
