One Shots

34. [Letter to No One]

My dreams mean nothing to you, don't they?

No matter how much I try to explain, all you ever thought about was yourself. And even though I only ever tried to support you, you would never support me.

Was it my rebellious attitude towards training? Was it my hobbies that you found oh-so undignified?

Or was it because I wasn't like my brothers?

All I ever wanted was to make you proud of me. All of the things that I have done was because you ordered me to, and I thought you would be happier that way.

But all you ever did for me was let my brothers cut me open and bleed all over the place.

But it was nothing anymore. I decided my fate.

I would abandon you before you could have the chance to abandon me.

I stole everything from you: your dignity, your wealth, and your status as a military family. Because without me, your entire reputation falls apart.

And I am the reason why you are going to crash and burn like a wildfire. I will be there to stroke the flames as you beg for my help. And you know what I will do?

I'll cut you open and make you bleed.

Isn't that right, Father? I'll treat you just as horribly as you have treated me. And despite everything I have done, I'll throw everything to the trash and rip your throat out with pleasure.

It'll be such a sweet release.

Now, pick a god and pray, you bastard. Because it's time for you to say goodbye to the world.

I'll rip your body to pieces, limb from limb!
