Bonus Story: Rainfall Memories


For anyone who finds it hard to stop loving, to fall out of love, or let go...

Interlude VII: Kaishokugai (Sea Cliff)
***
I hate you Hitomi

The waters beckoned to me below, swirling and churning around the sharp rocks below, the moss feeling slippery and smooth between my toes on the edge of the cliff.

"It would be so easy to slip...just slip and fall..."

Was that my voice?

The rising wind whipped up my long black hair, throwing it in all directions about me, as I faced the fading sun, the last few rays of red and purple fading away into the darkness.

"I bet it wouldn't hurt at all. Just eternal peace the moment my fall cuts short."

I hate you Hitomi.

Deeply cutting, hard hitting.

I spread my arms out wide, closing my eyes.

Small joy, torn away from me.

So many deaths caused by me

Lives shattered because of a past that I cannot control.

I hate you Hitomi.

Why do his words haunt me?

A step forward, then another.

Toes hanging over the edge, the sound of water rushing my ears, engulfing them.

"So easy..."

Was that me again?

Did I say that?

I feel afraid.

Yet...

I just want to let go of it all...

To make this pain go away...for it would be harder to stop loving him, then to die.

I feel the wind float my old pointed hat off my head, carrying it off to Promathia knows where. Somewhere behind me I hear the footfalls of a child racing across the grasses, a girl whose determination is only matched by the spirit I could feel flowing out from her. She was chasing after me, obviously to try to stop me.

I felt sorry for her.

No child should have to witness a death, not like this...

I hate you Hitomi.

"Goodbye...Dimitri..."

I stepped out into empty space...

And I willingly let go of it all.

No no no...

I've closed my heart to love but I'm not suicidal >.<;

No worries^^
