The fallen Beni-Shigure members wake up in a panic at the announcement. …Just the thought makes me want to vomit. I can see all the destruction and massacres ‘I’ would commit. In the end… I can’t let myself destroy things. If I hadn’t used my powers, I wouldn’t have been able to pull back Koujaku. She’ll destroy every part of my consciousness, and make use of my body. Because of that… She’s begun to eat away at my will. That’s why her presence becomes more apparent whenever I use Scrap.īecause I overused my power, the balance between us is crumbling. She’s the part of me that wishes for that. I feel like I’m going to vomit.īut my body feels so heavy that I can’t get up. The past and the you who’s holding you back… I’m going to destroy them both.” The coiling black tattoo crumbles and peels off into nothing. The despair in Koujaku’s face disappears, and it begins to glow. “That’s why you shouldn’t give in, Koujaku.” I say “Don’t give in to your past, or your tattoo.” I’ll tell you that I always believed in him.” “If you lose sight of yourself, I’ll tell you over and over what the real Koujaku is like. “No matter what you did, or what you’re burdened with, the Koujaku I know will never change.” I feel like the tattoo at the base of his neck is actually growing weaker. “……” Koujaku hangs his head, trying to hold himself together. As yourself, Koujaku… But.” I gave him a small smile “We… I have to tell you something that has to do with you.” So you have to live your life with that tattoo. “You think you’re losing control because of that tattoo. Don’t make me have to go through something like that…” It’s not like it’s just their body.” I took a deep breath before exhaling “Isn’t it the same for you? You came to the island to heal your wounds, but you lost yourself when you saw Ryuuhou again. But you’re insisting that they’ll be fine, even though you’re hurting them? Even if the wounds heal, it’ll never be the same. It’ll be painful with you gone, hearts will be broken. I told you before not to put words in my mouth.” They’ll find a new Head without me there.” That maybe be good for you, but what about your members? Your team, and even me…” “Is it okay for you just to run away like that?” I know it’s unforgivable to let a person like me keep living.” Koujaku said. “I won’t.” I shake my head “But I will tell you: you didn’t want to… commit a sin.” “You hurt a lot of people, including your mother… You can’t erase that fact.” “…You know by now, don’t you? I said this earlier, but not matter how much you try to forget or run away from it, you can’t change the fact that it happened.”
I take a deep breath, and look at Koujaku’s sad eyes.
Koujaku stands there, with the black tattoo still slithering up his arms. …The fake world, the one Koujaku was trying to run from. “…Don’t give in.” I said “Don’t give in, Koujaku.”
