Written from the point of view of Seita.

I just wanted to write something for this beautiful movie that made me open my eyes and realize that the most important thing in our lives is not trying to run away from our fears or even death, but to live and to stay close with the ones we love…

I hope you guys enjoy this!

The ray of light hidden in your eyes

Death is upon my trail.

There are times were I doubt if I know which path I am following.

For example, right now I feel a bit confused and amazed by the power of pain. It turns people blind sometimes.
I think I am not blind, though. After losing my sister, the only being that remained at my side and helped me to feel motivated to keep living through this war, I have lived through the greatest pain I could have ever experienced.

The pain and the hunger ending with my life are nothing compared to that. No, I am not blind, for I can see the fog rising over my eyes and I feel sure that the moment is near.

If I were blind, I would not be able to even realize that I am going to meet with my beloved sister soon.

The end is the start of a new beginning, but how are we able to start when we are not even sure of where things left off?

The fear of hurting someone, the pain when you realize you did...
Can't I just pretend that all of these are simple stories that take the role of fog in a cloudy morning?

I know that the night I had to burn the body of my sister to be able to keep her with me, the ashes that were left behind were nothing compared to her smile. Yet the sun rose the following morning, and the moon came out to sparkle along the stars.

When the sun rises over you, then why are sometimes clouds blocking the sweet rays of light that were meant to heat up your face and evaporate your tears?

I can fight the clouds, curse them and wish that they somehow condensate in hell.
But the clouds will not move.
And the sun will still be blocked from my view.

Maybe considering that all of this is out of me, that I am not the person that is looking for the sun, but the sun itself, maybe... just maybe, I can be assured that the fears, and the thoughts and the lies are nothing but silly stories made up to make me forget who I am.

The forbidden word of goodbye was spoken today.
The rays of light disappeared from my face.

Sweet surrender, please make me feel like I am the sun again.

Dearest sister, I can't wait to feel your embrace…
