Jean's POV~
Of course I had to help identify all the dead people. I hate this job. I hate walking around, seeing all these dead people, making me depressed, while I could be hanging out with my best friend, Marco Bodt! Oh well, I guess I can do that later... Where is he anyway? Usually, when there's an attack, Marco and I try to find each other right after to head to the mess hall. He must have just got caught up with something and... oh god... "M-Marco?!" I gasped, looking at the corpse to my right. I slid to a stop, and looked down at the half-eaten corpse. Dried blood covered the ground underneath, and where the bite was, which had taken out his whole right side. Half of his face, half of his torso, and the top of his hip. A dark circle under his eye, and his mouth hanging open slightly. There was blood and dirt covering his face, but there were lines through it all, like water washed off just those places, in a straight line down his face. And because of those lines, I could see freckles. Marco's freckles. His hair was all messed up, sticking to his forhead and lashing outward, soaked with blood.
"Marco... No, no... it can't be, it can't! Marco please, don't leave me like this..." My eyes watered, and I could barely see anymore, just by blinking, I sent those tears rushing out of my eyes like water falls. "It should have been me..." I growled through clenched teeth.
"Do you know who this is?" I heard a woman say, and I turned around to see a silver haired lady and a clip board. "Sir, I need you tell me who this is if you know."
I hesitated, "Scout of the 104th Cadet Corps, Marco Bodt." It sounded a bit choked, but who cares? Marco was my bestfriend, and now he's gone!
"Arigatō, have a good day." The lady said, and left. Have a good day? A GOOD DAY?! My bestfriend is dead, and you tell me to have a good day?!
"Whatever," I muttered. I couldn't help but cry again, looking back at Marco. His cold, lifeless body, just sitting there, all stiff and... dead. "Gomen'nasai, Marco," I whispered, "I wish I could have helped. But it should have been me, not you! You were too innocent! Too nice and kind for such a terrible world like this. Always telling me I am a good leader, mostly not ever believing you but... you always managed to make everyone happier... and now... you're gone... gomen'nasai, Marco."
A/N~ arigatō - thank you
gomen'nasai - I'm sorry
