Quietly wandering amidst echoes of emptiness in the long lonely corridors, I question myself if I'm hearing-- music? I peek into the coffee room, suddenly remembering how I've peeked in like this before; I was spying on Rai and Shizuo performing the English version of the Speed Racer song. Together ...

Lionel yelps in fear and horror, I whimper across the floor, for our world ends not with a bang, but in the abject twilight of death's dusty bells raised and rang. Warmth of day fades and dies to reveal the insane illuminations of dark stars, looming closer with each step that infernal creature take...

“Have you said your goodbyes yet?” “S-Say what? Iwanako?” Lionel asks confusedly, abruptly lifting his hand from tracing and reading the preface. “You haven't told Kaori yet, how much you've longed to go home, and how much she still means to you... you've been ignoring her for so long, Lionel. It's ...

“I share things with Kaori, things like shampoo.. she asked very nicely for it.” Lionel tightens his lips, drawing a small but sincere smile, and continues on. “I thought as much.., I think there's a bit of a story actually. Kaori once asked me how I can tell who someone is when they're not talking,...

Sheltered in the labyrinth of heavy bookshelves, there comes imperceptibly the rising and falling of hushed murmurings, while I flip delicately through vibrant illustrations of a storybook before me, wistfully entranced by words and pictures depicting the children's tale of 'The Ugly Duckling'. With...

Gently strumming on the echoing strings, Rai's fingers press delicately on his guitar, carefully weaving a heavenly melody that catches and pulls at my heart. “I don't know, if you can see...” Kaori softly sings and catches my enchanted soul. “the changes that have come over me.” “In these last few ...

“I want the loot.” Kaori curtly responds to Ikezawa's sardonic summary, “It's all about the loot, the whole loot, and nothing but the loot.” “If I may suggest, your highness,” Lionel mockingly asks, “that if we negotiate a surrender, or spread our Zerg infestation far and thorough enough among the h...

“Umm, maybe we should do a strafing run first? --or something?” I ask timidly, trying to introduce some sensible strategy into our approach, since the heavily fortified base has crushed wave after wave of Kaori's Protoss units. “You could call in your Zerg flyers, Hanajima,” Ikezawa says matter-of-f...

Interim: “Hydralisks and Zealots! Attacking my base!” “Nova and Arcturus won't be far away from each other, they'll be safe in some posh fancy room lit by pretty lights, with polished marble floors and big windows. Oooh! And a golden record player!” As soon as I say it, I eagerly start imagining wha...

I clap loudly, triumphantly, making that one boy clap along with me. He stands up and claps proudly, giving celebratory whistles as loudly as he can. The girl beside him stands up and enthusiastically claps, bringing along everyone in the row with her. Cheering approvingly, everyone in the enrapture...

Eita finally hears me, and slowly lifts his eyes to see me, with a gaze strained by desperation. I show him my most sincere smile. Eita finally nods, slowly righting his posture. He doesn't get back on his feet, but that's alright. His sleeves dramatically dangle before him, stretching his reach out...

The triumphant orchestral music lavishly paints the scenes Eita describes, the fixed coloured lightings only miss Eita's cue twice, but he salvages every little mix-up like that and improvises brilliantly, gracefully changing the emphasis of his postures and movement, and even adjusting his lines mi...

The next morning, I wake up beside Eita, both us still embracing each other in the front row seat. With a warm smile, I softly wish him “Good morning”. That was the best sleep I've had in years. The day passes quickly and full of life, as if I'm living again for the first time since the hospital, si...

“Sleep well? Iwanako?” I gently shake my head, with a wide smile on my tired face. “What do you want most?” Huh? “Tell me Iwanako, what is it that you want most?” The happy smile is still on my face, but it's slowly fading. “I don't know...” “You miss Hanzou, don't you?” I nod slowly, a frown has fo...

I arrive at the amphitheatre a lot sooner than I hoped, pleasantly surprising myself a little. I give a small triumphant chuckle that becomes a long yawn, and realise just what a bad idea this is turning out to be. I'm very tired, it's really dark, I could get lost, and I forgot that I can't do any ...
