Guys I need her to be real oml..
he's so me when I!
Raskolnikov is the realest main character to ever walk this earth because heโs a broke college student who lays in his bed all day thinking about going outside, and then when he does he derealizes, decides that everything sucks, and gets so tired that he imidietly passes out after having to so much as to see other people. Mans was representing all of academia unknowingly.
I'm sorry you're so unhappy with your life, but that doesnโt mean you have to make mine more miserable than it already is!
Once we die
Start to decay
Rot
Where does our soul go?
Does it stay in this prison of
bones and blood
flesh
Or does it wander?
Visiting our childhood home where we used
to laugh and dance
love
Can we still go back?
Will we return to the places we knew
where we were still pure
innocent
or will we simply vanish from existence?
Can you answer me this question, love
or will I have to beg
plead
so my bones can ultimately rest?
Please know that I will love you forever </3
Why does the night have to be so beautiful?
As I walk through the night, I remember what Mitsutsuka said to me. โBecause at night, only half the world remains.โ I count the lights. All the lights of the night. The red light at the intersection, trembling as if wet, even though it isnโt raining. Streetlight after streetlight. Taillights trailing off into the distance. The soft glow from the windows. Phones in the hands of people just arriving home, and people just about to go somewhere. Why is the night so beautiful? Why does it shine the way it does? Why is the night made up entirely of light?
The music flows from the earphones filling my ears, filling meโit becomes everything. A lullaby. A gorgeous piano lullaby. What a wonderful piece of music. It really is. Itโs my favorite piece by Chopin. Did you like it too, Fuyuko? Yeah. Itโs like the night is breathing. Like the sound of melted light.
The light at night is special because the overwhelming light of day has left us, and the remaining half draws on everything it has to keep the world around us bright.
Youโre right, Mitsutsuka. It isnโt anything, but itโs so beautiful that I could cry.
