Perfection is but an ephemeral dream.
The strange happenings have finally begun to occur. People who were supposed to be dead in their homelands have been spotted here, leading new lives as though they hadn't experienced death. Some of them, as well as other people, have disappeared from this world without a word, including him. That, however, I could take as of no relevance, I could even understand it, for I could tell Lumiere was no ordinary dimension the moment I took my first step into these lands.
What I cannot understand, though, is the fact that people who have admittedly died/been killed while in Lumiere have ressurrected the day after the misfortunate event. They have clear recollections of the very moment of their death and can even remember what it felt like to have life stolen from their bodies but, other than that, it is as though nothing had ever happened to them.
The dead can never be fully brought back to life, no matter what kind of power you use. That is the major Law of the Universe that I have been taught during my existence, and there has been enough proof of it on countless occasions. However, if those people have been revived, does that mean Lumiere is breaking the rules? Should this be the case, is that the price Lumiere citizens pay for the promised second chance at happiness? Is it a fair price..?
Is it fair that I keep refraining from action, even when I'm in a world that possibly defies the balance of the Universe? Can I keep that desperate boy without answers for even longer than I already have, under the excuse of my non-interference policy? Can I just watch helplessly while those children go through even more hardships? I'm not sure anymore. I must investigate this place a little further before I can answer those questions.
But even amidst my dilemma, I can't help being selfish for a single moment and think of my personal problems. I wonder what happened to him now that he has left the city of lights... Even if it is the right thing, it hurts me to think he might have died once more and that I'll never see him again... That is too sad. I had something I wanted to tell him.
