Chuuya

Don't be scared. I hear you loud as a bomb wanting a shoulder to cry on. I hear you tumbling fast. Here and now, you're afraid. Don't you worry, I'll teach you to fly before you fall.

She tosses and turns as she sleeps, battling her inner demons. Clinging to any last shred of sanity. I held her hand tightly feeling the trembles from her despair.

The night moved slowly, pressing on with every second more painful than the last. With every sharp breath she writhed in overwhelming agony. With each cry for help her heart grew weaker.

And her screams boke us further and further.

I found myself counting the seconds between them like claps of thunder. Waiting for it to take longer, waiting for the storm to pass.

But it never did.

Natsuo was more than a friend in her eyes. When they were younger, they gave eachother strength. They were there to lean on eachother.

An now that helping hand is gone, and she's simply falling. Akutagawa wanted to be there to mask the pain, but he too, could only take so much pain.

After all, we're only human. Just barely, but we still feel things too.

Once the time sped back up and the world around us thawed, the reality kicked in. The attack left Yoko with a cold heart and the world's weight in grief.

I stayed by her side, and will continue to do so until the very end. When the final credits roll and there's no more pages to turn.

Until then, I'll protect her, watch her from the sidelines, I'll hear her. I'll be her shoulder to cry on. I'll catch her when she tumbles.

I'll be there to teach her to fly before she falls again.
