darkness.
that was all you were able to see in front of you.
you tried to look around, but to no surprise, there was just more darkness.
so instead, you got up and walked forward. after all, that's your motto, isn't it? if you've got nowhere else to go, just keep going forward! you were able to spread that positivity to your classmates, so you know you should be able to support yourself. you've done it for a while after all. what's one more time?
click ( a step. )
after all, you always have a smile on your face.
clack ( another step. )
and you want nothing more but to make sure your classmates are safe and sound.
click ( another one. )
because you definitely care about them, and you would do anything to make sure they stayed safe.
clack ( one more. )
which is exactly why you committed that single sin of yours.
silence. ( a pause. )
right?
you automatically stop walking and just stare at the ground. why now, out of all times, do your intrusive thoughts have to kick in? you simply couldn't go past this execution without feeling any other emotion other than fear, couldn't you, haruichi? you just had to go on feeling guilty about what you did. about the risk you took for them.
for your friends.
with a sigh, you slowly lower yourself onto the ground on your hands and knees. a thousand thoughts fill in to your mind like a flickering television but only one stands out and it's the thought of him. you did this for him. you did this to protect all your classmates, but you also wanted to protect him the most.
a shuddering breath makes it way out. you wipe at your eyes because this is no time for tears. this is definitely not the time to show any ounce of weakness. you need to stay determined, stay strong, keep going forward. don't let stupid, petty emotions drag you down. especially not now.
