there is an infinite amount of hope in the universe.
but not for us.
was this the outcome she wanted? to know that Tina was safe from the world of alien stage?
yes, of course. how could she ask for more?
but Daiki was a selfish woman.
she wanted more, she wanted to be there with Tina. she didn’t want to be on this stage.
there was a heaviness in her chest, tightness of bandages around her torso making it hard to fully inhale. but being clad in such elegant clothing, who could guess her discomfort?
the music starts, both participants taking their spots. vortex, a fitting word for the current feelings spinning a deep hole into her very being. there was no doubt about it, this was her last round. the current shape she was in. . . no, she wouldn’t be able to win against even against a child.
this was apparent even before the round began.
which is why she quickly planned a shift in her music. after about half of her song, the music stops all together - a different melody playing. ah, at least she let Khoi finish his performance.
but, this was her final message to Tina.
“fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars~”
Tina, I have a feeling you’re watching me. I’m sorry, I wanted for both of us to escape together. I never pictured my life without you, I hope you feel the same way.
“In other words, hold my hand~ in other words, darling, kiss me.”
I’m trusting those rebels to take care of you. try not to make things hard for them, keep living. don’t give up.
“You are all I long for, all I worship and adore.”
when we first met, I wanted to hurt you the way I was hurt. but I couldn’t bring myself to do anything, just to stare and admire your beauty. I was lost in darkness for a long time, I’m happy that I ended up becoming lost in your eyes instead.
“In other words, please be true, in other words, I love you.”
memories of spending every second with you is the greatest treasure I have right now.
guards circle the stage, weapons aimed at the fool of the stage. how did she manage to enter the system again? and what was she planning now? nothing, she just wanted to stay her goodbye.
thank you for being my guiding light, thank you for saving me. from the bottom of my dirty heart, thank you for loving me.
“In other words, please be true! In other words, I love you!”
the scores are settled, Khoi had won a long time ago.
“In other words, I love you!”
a final bow, a curtsy of sorts as hands drop the microphone. and then a singular shot, straight through the heart.
thank you . . . for being the victim of my shallow emotions.
end scene.
