Convergence
Kesshou Uryou
To come together so unorthodoxly.
To fall apart so naturally.
The fact that it could actually transpire was something that had never been imagined. That was something of common agreement between the three of them. One of the few. But it had happened, and this was the moment, the single moment, where paths once crossed were directed another, different way.
She was the first to go. The first to walk down her newly formed path, away from a dream made reality and a past permanently altered. Coincidence or not, it had happened.
She was not completely sure how the circumstances had worked so perfectly, so terribly with all the danger, shortcomings hiding within the shadows. All that was lurking being all the complication she hadn't needed. They hadn't needed.
And then there was a quick, mutual glance. Two of a kind, opposites, once enemies to the death for no particularly reason. A shared reaction as they stared at her back. Then it was a unison step – a unison step in opposite directions. They started, ended, in opposite directions.
But they had come together somewhere in that middle confusion. They had changed something, something that maybe could never be defined.
It was a parting, a goodbye in every aspect. A simple separation, one with the emotions already drained away prior to the actual action of it all. It looked like a parting. It was, but there was more.
Strangers had come together. Strangers that were strangers no longer. Somewhere along parallel lines of different, personal journeys, the impossible had happened. Three people crisscrossed. Three people had intersected.
And walking away like that so easily. Walking away from everything that happened. Words of parting were spoken, but maybe a little deeper than that, maybe they knew.
Three people, three people that maybe never should have met had. There was a convergence. There was a time of separation.
But in that wind, there was almost like the unspoken too. A little secret hope. They'll meet again.
Another convergence.
One day.
