Cope

There is so many things humans must do. Be happy, make other people happy, be sad, make other people sad, be angry, make other people angry, anyways people usually try to do the right thing, right? But so many people in life, just cope.

Black*Star is one of them. He never knew it will happen to him. He usually despised the humans that was so weak and troubled and... Lost? Was that even a word in Black*Star's dictionary?

Yes, Black*Star lost a battle, a big battle, a battle to save his precious weapon/partner/goddess. There wasn't really much he could do, Tsubaki died in a fire. He was too late to get to the building, too busy playing video games with Soul, too late.

Now he lives with regret, every day he copes. Just barely, but he does. He walks into school throwing his best performance as he grins and tells everybody that he will surpass god one day. Just to keep Tsubaki proud, to show her he haven't given up on their dream. But when he is home...

He only copes.

Just barely.

But he does.

For his goddess in the stars.
