Blurb
I am not dead.
----
It was raining, but I didn't get wet.
Because I had an umbrella.
How I came to obtain it is of no importance.
Nor is the fact that I have one at all.
But even so, I had an umbrella and was walking in the rain.
I have no particular reason for walking down that street.
If I look for a reason, only fickle and irresponsible words leave my mouth.
What I'm trying to say is that this was a coincidence.
I hate coincidences.
But perhaps that hatred is no more than a fabricated assumption I made myself believe.
After all, that guy doesn't comply to reason.
I wonder what he thinks about coincidence.
It's hard to imagine.
I lowered my eyes on instinct.
Blackness in the edges of my eyes.
Fast breathing.
The smell of blood.
Things such as these stimulate my senses.
It's not strange to not notice.
It's just that noticing such things is ingrained into my brain.
I disregard the trivial information and gather the interesting stuff.
That's why it's just a coincidence.
I hesitate to approach.
After all, what am I supposed to do?
A guy was sitting in a dirty puddle, soaked to the bone.
He noticed me, and raised his face, but said nothing.
What the hell am I meant to do in this situation?
I heard a whisper of a voice calling out to me.
It might have just been the rain.
It might have just been a car horn.
It might have been a cat, sheltering from the rain.
I don't know which one is true, but I felt like I had been called, so I walked up to him.
Standing beside him, what was I thinking?
The man laughed, without raising his face this time.
"...Hey"
"It's a nice day"
"Want to finish me off?"
"Don't feel like it"
"You could just stab me"
"I'm thinking of what to do"
"What you mean to say, is that it's not interesting to kill someone who's already weakened, right?
You saying you don't want to kill me, even though you've wished for it?
You want me to disappear, right?
Or am I exempt from your murderous intent because I'm injured?"
