Load Data 17: Epilogue To The Broken World

Empty. There's nothing here at all. Paving this flood aimlessly. I could see the image before me. Truthfully, my eyes still function but oddly enough, I could not react to any of image reflected before it. It was like seeing a blank image.

Hard. I felt something hard. What is this? Ah, it's concrete. Perhaps debris would be a fine definite. Why is a debris be right here? I can't remember...

"Why must such resistance be what that which greets me? Such vain effort would merely lead to this pitiable end. But I reckon it was for what is best. Such a rich resource this is. There would be no need for any vile creatures to taint it any more now."

That voice. I have heard it before. It sounds so haunting yet so familiar. It brought up a very strong feeling in me. That's right. I know this voice. Ergo, I remembered everything..

"Yggdrasil."

"You have my gratitude for your contribution. It is time I do my part in the bargain."

That's right. This world, my world was long gone now. I played my part. I broke the last line of defence. I destroyed them. And in turn, I reached the BAD END that I so desired. To think the prelude to it would have such an image.

Destruction everywhere. The tall skyscrapers that were standing tall with all its might and glory now lay barren and losing its tall feature. The sky was no longer blue as it was in colour so ominous it was as if something terrifying was about to come down..... and most of all, the colour red that paved the ground forming an endless ocean...

This is the ending that I chose..

As my sight began to turn white, the last thing I saw was the resting figures that were very familiar.... and now, I could finally go back.. to where it all started...

...

"Say, what do you want to do in the future, Izzy?", you lazily laid down on the floor of the rooftop with your hands under your head as you gaze up the sky. Leaning on the railing, I thought about the future and yet nothing came into the picture..

"I dunno. I like how things are right now, so I guess I'll just see how things take me, huh?"

"Huh. Well that's a good idea as well, I guess."

"What's wrong? You got something in your mind?"

"Hm. Not really."

"Come on, be honest with me! We're best friends right?"

You looked at me with wide eyes with your mouth slightly open, unable to process the words that you wanted to say. Before long, your eyes glanced to the side and your mouth formed a thin line before you opened it once more.

"There's... this prestigious school that had just opened up, and it got me interested..."

The ache in my heart as the news of you possibly leaving was killing me violently. Even so, I can't go there with you. I have my own selfish part that desires no change in my mundane everyday. In other words, it was not because I could not, it was because I did not want to... but even so I..

It's odd. I never experienced the life I would be having without you, and I dare say I don't want to and yet, I could feel this heavy pain in me and it was as if I did experienced it. But I should be thankful, because of this.. it makes me feel..... I...

I want to be selfish

"Please don't transfer! Who cares if that school is prestigious! I don't want you to transfer! What got you interested?! The level of teaching it provides? Then I'll make sure that we become more smarter than them! I don't know how but I will make it happen! Just don't transfer!! I'll make up for any-"
