So those kids can finally rest.
Characters
I'm not really sure what happened, but when I first woke up, I saw fluorescent lights and an unfamiliar ceiling. Besides that, what I saw was... the most unwelcome face among all those kind people.
My body felt heavy, and it was hard to make any sound other than groaning. Whether my ears were blocked or I was just focused on 'something else,' I couldn't meet eyes with those friendly humans for a while.
That bastard who used to bother me made my life hell at first. The crawling sensation on my nape made my skin crawl, so I'd scratch it raw with my nails every time. Only after that would the damn thing settle down.
Only after I figured that out did I start drawing... and writing. That thing I thought was like some annoying parasite that wouldn't leave me alone for a second gradually became... familiar.
So damn annoying... The wounds haven't even healed and he keeps touching them, making me feel like absolute crap, but I started allowing it... well, more like putting up with this much. I had no idea what kind of hell he might raise otherwise.
One year after barely surviving and settling in with the rebels, I learned to ride a bicycle. I asked them to teach me something useful, thinking they'd show me something amazing, but they just had me learn to ride a bike. I probably looked like a complete idiot wobbling around on that thing.
Three years. For some reason, I got more nagging. The most annoying one among them said... what was it, speedy? Yeah, that.
Up until then, that bastard's voice and form were still hanging around.
... Seven years. You could say it's been forever, or you could say it flew by—an ambiguous stretch of time.
Struggling with waves of inner pain, getting my ear pierced at some point... a lot of shit happened.
So much that I can never hear that voice again.
That voice that might come back if I get hurt again.
That's why I decided to find Mizi. My old feelings are long buried—I want to see her again.
Because we were 'family.'
