7th rise of the phoenix ஜ Voice / Action for Spades

[uccellodifuoco]

[His voice is heavy and a bit hoarse but still easy to understand. He has yet to hit the bottle today, but it won't take him much longer to do so.]

Soon it will be September again. Hn, when people started to vanish I thought there would be only a few of us left to see a second autumn in this world.

[Of course, that refers only to those who were the first to arrive to this world. Unfortunately he never doubted that there would still be a lot of people trapped, just... Not the same people for so long.]

Have any of you changed since you arrived here? No matter how long you have been here... Ever wonder what your people would think of you if they saw you here?

Heh, I don't know if I deserve it, not when I'm a direct cause or reason for all that suffering. But I agree with you on the rest, they deserve much better.

[Shun deserved more than a life of fighting when he hates it. Esmeralda deserved a live and while she didn't have a good one... At least she was alive and maybe someone else would have been able to find her and take her away from that hell. All Ikki was able to do was to make promises that he never got to fulfill because she died, and it was all his fault.]

I wouldn't be glad if I was you, I may not understand it completely or even correctly after all. For example, even though I get why you want to get married I don't see how that would fix anything. I mean, aren't your parents married? Yet look at them, each one off to God knows where. What's the point of getting married if you may end being left alone again?

It's a risk I'm willing to take.

[Her parents may not have been prime examples, but Kodachi believed in fairy tales and happily-ever-afters; if, perhaps, she and her husband loved each other enough, then they'd never want to part.]

Suit yourself. Just try to make sure the guy you marry to loves you and won't leave you alone, at least not for long. Talking about deserving happiness and something better... You also deserve that, Kodachi.

[Even if she didn't have the motivation of wanting to stop being all alone he would think the same. Women and marriage are things he will never understand, what makes them think that a mere title on the relationship will bring in a happy ending? Why do they need someone else to be happy? As he sees it, it only makes them vulnerable, open to people like his father who will come and take from them whatever they want before throwing them aside.

No one deserves that, especially not people with dreams of a happy ending -even if such a thing may be impossible.]

[There was something of a smile in her voice, and he could likely hear it.]

I know.

[She knew, of course, that she deserved happiness - and by hook or by crook, she'd get it. Somehow.]

[uccellodifuoco]

If you say so, then I guess it will go well for you.

[It's not that he doesn't think that she can do it, but he has seen too many girls, and people in general, claiming to know those things, claiming to be ready for whatever could happen. And none of them were ever ready or really knew, or rather maybe they knew but they didn't fully understand it.

But that's her life and he's not going to nudge more than he has already.]
