One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape, and I'll know...
One of these days the mountains are gonna fall
into the sea, and they'll know...
Cuz you and I were made for this.
I was made to taste your kiss.
We were made to never fall away...
Never fall away.

One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky, telling us all
to go free
but until that day, I'll find a way
to let everybody know that you're coming back
mmm you're coming back for me.

-Letters from the Sky

There's a place we know
what's cold enough won't grow.
We have seen the dark
and the darkness took its toll.
And the journey waits for no one
if now one breaks the mould.
And our hearts are stronger
then we know...

That you and I could learn to love again.

-Learn to Love Again

꧁Miyako's POV

Suddenly gentle arms wrapped around my body, surrounding me in warmth. I opened my eyes to stare at those hands encircling me. A weight was on my shoulder, sending small shivers up my spine. Heat rushed to my cheeks at the realization of the position we were in.

'Who is it? It can't be Amon- he isn't the huggy type as far as I can tell,' I wondered, lifting my head to glance at the person behind me.

...

That was probably the wrong move. My blush only deepened when our eyes met. I'm sure the surprise was written all over my face. I mean it's not everyday someone just hugs you, right?

Black hair partially covering teal eyes, his face angled to allow his head to rest on my shoulder, there was no doubt that he was hiding his face. Why do this? Why go to this length to show someone like me comfort?

His unique eyebrows furrowed, squinted eyes in...pity? Sadness? I'm not sure. His facial complexion was definitely different from his usual color. His usually partially tanned face was red. Was he blushing?

I can't tell for sure... I know, for sure, that I'm new to anything like this- he must be experienced in this kind of thing. I mean it's an emotion that humans thrive on, right? It's like they are made to love- to go to the ends of the earth for their treasured ones. That's why they never forget and always remember. Do vampires love? One must be joking- vampires love, yes, but it's different. It's not the same level of love, at least not on the scale of humans. Every human has at least one person he or she treasures while the vampire nature is to preserve themselves. They depend on each other while vampires are, at nature, greedy. There's always a motive behind a vampire's decisions, but humans are different. That's why I envy them. We can never be like them. We can only be ourselves, but we can learn to love, right?

We are similar to humans in appearance and emotion, so I believe that we can bridge that gap between instinct and ideology. We have to. We all depend on each other for balance. If the balance is tipped in one direction, then the whole scale will collapse upon the weight of the world. Everything has a place and a role within society.

Humans- the basic organism with the capacity to think for themselves and evolve. Ghouls- the evolved form of humans- the reminder that even humans are limited and that they are not at the top of the food chain. Vampires- the variation and most sophisticated of the bloodsuckers- those that preside over the war between ghouls and humans in hiding, waiting for the opportune moment to reveal themselves in an era where they would be accepted. Miyako- one who does not fit in this system- that straddles between these worlds without a place.

...

...

No... My place is here. Mediating this conflict, dreaming of a world that no mortal has ever dreamed. Trying to change this dream into a reality where all these worlds could co-exist.
