it’d be nice to know the FUTURE ...
but would it really be nice ? would it be as ( pleasant ) as one would imagine it to be ? the BURDEN being carried upon strengthened, ironed shoulders of the one who was once being called a CHAMPION.
premonition... a S E E R. ( psychic ). each region called them differently, though all of them harbored similar sense of - p o w e r - within them. BLURRY IMAGES were all they were before becoming stronger in senses. a boy, with eyes sharp like steel, like the TYPE he mastered. given the ability to see further into the plane of tomorrow.
worried tone forming the name so FOREIGN, a name ( no one ) ever uttered any longer yet the FLAMING GIRL decided to refer to him as such. steel-like hues turned back, deep as did his mind she cannot reach. sturdy hand - hovering - over his own temple, a wince. a hint of P A I N.
“ do you want to rest ? ”
rest. SLEEP. there it was, the twitch of his eyes, she could see them.
---a spark of F E A R, a sliver of HATRED.
rest. was it really ( resting ) when mind was PLAGUED and - haunted - by images of the past ? where ? just where was the - n i c e - part of having this POWER with him ? faltering of his MASK could be seen, despite how ( minor ) and perfectly hidden they were, vermilion hues watched him carefully, in care. in worry. his expression - darkened -, reliving the DAYS where questions were spouted, but no answers received. what was it that kept him UP AT NIGHT ?
times and times again, he saw his DEATH. times and times again, that CALAMITY didn’t stop.
nights after ( nights ), his POWER came multiplying. screams and - screeches -, sounds of horror and sadness. surprise and tragedy. piercing, they were, STABBING through his head like a sharpened knife. soundless drip of ( sanguine liquid ) no one ever seen. the ex-CHAMPION had s w a l l o w e d every drop, tainting his silver tongue with crimson.
nightmares... the past... REALITY... - future -...
WHAT IS REAL ? WHICH IS REAL ANYMORE ??
wake me up. wake me up. wake me up !! make it stop !!
it’d be nice to know the ( future ) ...
is it really ? SAID WHO ?
words were ( accompanied ) by a touch of hand to his seemingly strong shoulder. a - smile - was what he offered, in his hand laid a PILL. pain-killers, he referred to them. it would - dull - the PAIN, the throbbing headaches recurring every other night or so. the way he looked down to the medicine had those ( eyes ) colder than usual. numb, almost. it was to KILL the agony. as though it was the - o n l y - thing to ever soothed him. the SUZAKU felt her heart ( ache ) at his response. the BURDEN weighted on him.
the ( tiniest ) shake of his digits - betrayed - his composure and following response.
there’s no cure to the NIGHTMARES.
so please tell him which is real.
and the pill, once again, ( disappeared ) down his throat.
he had lost COUNT of - how many - he had taken.
