Fox-7 was riding a heavy pike through the EDZ, her faithful ghost by her side.
“Ikora says that this Brotherhood of Osiris is our best chance at reviving Sagira.”
Fox rolled her eyes as she blasted the last of the dregs out of the way with the pike’s weapons.
“I know. I can hear her too, you know.”
Ghost just nodded in the air, unusually quiet.
“What’s wrong? You usually like my sarcasm.”
“It’s just.... Sagira....”
Fox-7 could listen to her ghost in a way that she thought that maybe Awoken or Human guardians did not get to. As an exo, she knew that while he could put a lot of emotional inflection into his voice, that it was still a bit of a conscious choice. To really hear the unconscious emotions behind a particular vocalization, you had to know a bit about how AI functioned. She did. She knew that when he said Sagira’s name, it wasn’t the ghost he was concerned with.
“Do you... do you wish you had a name, too, then?”
He paused, spun a bit and turned back to her.
“I don’t know... I’ve never even really thought about it before now. Of course, I knew about Osiris, but the fact that even Ikora knows his ghost’s name...”
Fox blinked and tugged at one of her ear antennae. “You know, Osiris sounds unique. He may have named her just so he’d be even more unique.” She had stopped the pike in a corner, sitting between two buildings. They had some cover here and could talk a bit. She rocked back on the vehicle and looked up at the sky. She always thought that that was the best part of being a guardian, how many different skies she got to see.
When her ghost didn’t respond, she nodded. “You know how I feel about all... this.” She waved her hands around. “When you woke me up, it was just one more duty to attend to. My previous selves did not keep journal entries, the way Cayde’s did. I do not know what I was meant for before. But I know my duty now. Still... I am glad to do this beside a friend.”
Ghost turned back, eye wide. “Who? Ikora?”
Fox just shook her head. If ghosts could blush, her’s should would be.
“Oh... you mean me.”
Fox nodded. “Of course. And if I can call you by your name, I would be honored. Shall we choose one together?”
“I... I’ll have to think on it.”
Fox-7 smiled, kicking the pike back on. “I suppose I can just call you ‘Little Light’ until you choose.”

Grasped tightly in that hand, slightly twisted
Believing only in your pride that's full of bruises
Taking the pistol that you've been hiding at your place And after firing it
Next is our turn
Blue sky Favourable vision Throw away all hesiation and such
Okay then, I'll take off now
The dirty you who use dreams you force values on as your prey
check ! check it !
The old-fashioned decadance of cowards you poured with your sidelong glances
Rock or scissors or paper, they're different things idiots
The answer was told already a long time ago
If you're done because you hesitate just for the feeling of hesitation Yeah, pull the trigger
Now then, accept your defeat
The feelings I couldn't convey on those days are still here unchanged
If there are guys who would despite of that laugh to me
As usual immediately without any kind hesitation I'd shoot at
That persons head I think
The kind of amount that wouldn't kill him All the best for you who is chasing your dreams
Good luck.
That person wanting to cause a revolution Even if made a laughingstock, until the end
He was strong enough not to loose to himself He had no doubts
Set a thief to catch a thief, well then I am a spirit who only believes in myself
As carrying it, come now the alternation of generations The ones who will be laughing at the end are us
The dirty you who use dreams you force values on as your prey
check ! check it !
The old-fashioned decadance of cowards you poured with your sidelong glances
Rock or scissors or paper, they're different things idiots
The answer was told already a long time ago
If you're done because you hesitate just for the feeling of hesitation Yeah, pull the trigger
Even if it was a foolish choice It's not okay to give up on this just yet
The feelings I couldn't convey on those days are still here unchanged
If there are guys who would despite of that laugh to me
Laughing together, crying together, there was even times we fought together but still
You see, I do have important friends here now with me
I want to make it come true, I want to convey them, I won't lose
Because the feelings that have not betrayed me are screaming
Even if it was a mistake I don't want to give up
I wonder if in the end the one laughing is you or who, to tell you the truth something like that
Doesn't have anything to do with me See you
Hmm, I prefer the Japanese version over the Korean. But that main reason for that is because I've seen more of the JDrama than I have of the KDrama. I watched the JDrama before I saw any of the KDrama so I have a special place in my heart for it.
Have you watched either of them? Which one did you like?
