GIFTOBER 2021: DAY 28 - LONELY
Before I could finish, my father laughed. He made a face like he didn’t even need to hear the rest. After breathing in, Emiya Kiritsugu said... “Yeah---I’m relieved.” He quietly closed his eyes and his life ended.
Since he looked so peaceful, I thought he would wake up again in the morning, so I didn’t disturb him. Perhaps being used to seeing death factored in too. Without doing anything, I just looked up at the man who was my father, as he entered a long sleep.
There were no sounds of insects in the garden as it was silent. In the bright night, I remember only my eyes being hot. I did not cry out nor did I feel sad. But I could not stop my tears until the moon sunk.
