I'm sorry, Benjamin...

Apologies are like jests, but they take themselves far too seriously. I cannot place the blame at your breast, and yet...watching the other squirm and twist like the wretched beast he is grows tiresome. Paradox.

What ails you, ladybug?

You should.

I am nothing.

Give me a reason.

I dreamt of nothing, and it became something; so you too are something. I am less, if that makes you feel better.

Everything that has happened, from the moment I arrived here in Econtra, has happened because of my poor decisions, my clouded judgement. It was foolish of me to think I could be whole again.

Please, do not say such things about yourself.. I do not believe that to be true.

And yet, here you are. Virtuous before me, misguided lashings.

The wind sang me a song this morning. It made so much sense, as what else has seen the world and beheld its mysteries than a gale?

It told me...it said...

With all the wickedness in the world, there is equal goodness. The earth is not inherently evil, nor is it just--it only is. What we mistake for bad is providence, the Fates gambling with our fortunes. Playing us, making us feel that the misdeeds befalling us are products of our own ignorance. But they aren't. Never.

We can only hope to listen to our heart isn't that what Roxas said? Line the pieces up and believe we are doing the right thing. Not for our own happiness, but the right--

Wind is icy at noon, freezing my thoughts. Hurts to think, cold. Too. Bloody. COLD.

When is spring coming...?

[abarberswife]

I...Benjamin, you don't have to say anything. You see? All I bring is pain.

Spring is already here, Benjamin...

I would have if I did not forget what I came to say. Damned frost.

Noooo. It isn't.

[abarberswife]

It's alright..

Soon, Spring will turn to Summer...

unhackable filter

[invoke_lyssa]

No it WON'T. Cannot have summer when we are still in winter. Lies, lies, lies.

I..I would never lie to you.

Not when you have been nothing but kind to me.
