In Regards To Fate (Cellphone Novel)

Takeru: Fragments of Memories, Part 2

'If I die, would anyone miss me?'

A lingering question I kept telling myself everytime I looked over the footbridge that led to my home.

It's not like I should care but everytime I ask that question, a lonely ache begins to knock at my heart.

'Of course someone will! I would miss you a lot if you died.'

A fleeting memory would tell me each time I asked myself such questions.

I was raised to be my parents' doll,
Yet those words always make me feel human.

A mournful expression would resurface in my muddled thoughts,
Eyes betraying tears that would be shed if I did die.

Yet the face is as hazy as the smog-covered city of my home,
All I know is their tears yet never their face.

But such words are my only solace whenever I look out at the cityscape before me.

At least, even without knowing who they are, someone would cry for me when I can't do so for myself.
