"There really isn't anything else I can do."
I slump against the cold metal post to my left, eyes closing, as the all-to-familiar ocean wind tosses my hair about my face.
I hear the old man sigh, and his footsteps, as he turns, and walks away. He realises, is seems, that this is truly my decision, and mine alone.
I still can't understand why he had wanted to talk me out of this, anyways. It doesn't matter to him at all. I can't see why he, or anybody, for that matter, would care if there was one less person like myself walking this earth. An improvement if nothing else...hm. It's nice out today.
It's warm, the wind has stopped, leaving the water almost like a sheet of glass, and the sky is unbelievably clear. I used to revel in weather like this, as it was such a rarity back home. But somehow, it's lost it's magic. It seems... out of place, given my intentions. But I suppose, in the end, what the weather was like today won't mean a thing. Very little matters right now.
Looking down, past the feeble support I balance on, to the still waters below, I sigh, and weigh my options a final time. I doesn't take me long, and I come to the same conclusion I have time and time again. My only course of action is clear. There are no options to weigh.
I close my eyes again, reflecting on everything that's happened up to today. All the sadness, fear, pain and loneliness that come to mind. The blood, the tears... The smiles, the laughter, the happiness...Triumphs, and failures... The people I've hurt...
I try to go through their names, their faces.. But I can't. There have just been too many. Too many to possibly remember. Too much to possibly redeem.
And that's why I know. I know I won't see him again. Either of them.
Perhaps I should take a moment to explain how I got here, alone and hopeless, teetering precariously over the calm, cold water... staring death in the face of my own volition.
My name is Ume Kotone. And I have a lot to answer for.
Sorry XD that was weird... anyways! Please review, thank you for reading... and have a nice day:3
