Re: Muv Luv: One Last Time into the Loop(CW)
"Yeah this is the finish line. I just wish I wasn't crossing it alone"- Cole MacGrath "Infamous"
I stared emptily at Sumika's lifeless figure as she laid there on her seat with her eyes closed as if asleep and her hands clutching on the Santa Rabbit I gave to her a few weeks ago. She looked so peaceful that I felt that if I just gave her a soft nudge she'd wake up and everything would be peachy. But who was I kidding? She was dead. I knew it, Kasumi knew it… heck I bet even Sumika knew it. After finally realizing that she was the one who made me a Casualty Conductor I felt an enormous weight hovering over my body.
Kasumi was right. The fate that she had given me was cruel, probably the cruelest thing that I've ever experienced in my life. I doubt the real Sumika in my peaceful world wouldn't do something like this. But then again… there was no telling what people would do when they've obtained such power. For so many years now I've been trapped in this endless cycle of time, existing in two worlds at once and experiencing everything since October 22, 2001 over and over.
I've seen so many things, felt all the happy times, the sad times and even times when I didn't want to die. Marimo-chan, Captain Isumi, everyone. Sumika made the painstaking way to send me back in time just because she I couldn't reach her. One could say that she was so selfish that she didn't want me to be with anyone else.
Ping…
The flashes of memories that I've experienced during my countless loops flashed before my eyes. Though I don't remember all the details, one thing was for sure that I've had relationships with all the members of my squad. Meiya, Class rep (Chizuru Sakaki), Ayamine, Tama (Miki) and surprisingly enough, my friend who I thought was a boy, Mikoto. I even had sex with them too.
Sumika, what you've done to me probably pained me not only physically, mentally but also spiritually. Knowing that you were the one who trapped me in this endless prison of time made me really angry. If I had known about this earlier… I probably would've done unspeakable things to you. Hell I would've screamed and yelled and demanded for answers. But looking at your soft face now, I probably understand why.
You were alone.
You were so afraid of being alone that you punished me into this endless loop of time just so you could make me fall in love with you again. I would've done it… but after seeing the faces of my comrades die before my very eyes… I… I…
"Takeru?" I looked back to the cockpit of the ship to see Kasumi standing there politely, knowing well what I was thinking.
We both traded looks and once more I turned my eyes to the lifeless body of my childhood friend. "Kasumi. (Hmm?) You said before that Sumika was the one who made me into this Casualty Conductor, right? (…) So tell me. If I died now… would I still go back into the beginning?"
I felt her eyes widened as I mentioned this. "I don't know" was her answer. "But because Sumika was the one who made it, there's little chance that you would go back. But now that both worlds have been fixed, it'll be a matter of time before you return to your world"
"Is that so? Well I guess that's no surprise there" I said to her. "But if there's still a chance for me to do one last loop. I'll take it. (Eh?) Kasumi… you're probably reading my mind right now and by now you probably know what I'm about to ask but I'll say it anyway. I'm going to kill myself and do one more loop in time"
"But there's a chance that it might not…"
"I know that!" I raised my voice slightly making the girl behind me flinch. "I know this probably goes against everything, everyone said to me. I'll probably be hated by Marimo chan and everyone who died. But if I let this pass… I'll probably never be able to forgive myself. I know that this must sound selfish, but I have to go back… I have to fix this"
"Takeru…" Kasumi gently place her hand over mine. "There's no need for you to do that anymore. Please stop it. Stop tormenting yourself and finally live the peaceful you've always wanted… with everyone. If you kill yourself now… then all the sacrifices that's been done will mean nothing. (I know…) So please… stop it and let it go"
"Kasumi…" my eyes darted towards her. I lowered my body to meet her childish gaze as I smiled. I know what she was trying to tell me. She was trying to say that everyone should move on. But I can't. I know that's probably sounds like a kid who doesn't want to grow up. "Look at me. I once told all of my friends that they shouldn't give up. Not until they've done everything they can. Well this is something I can do. The only thing I am able to do. I've already made up my mind to return to in time… and probably set things right. You probably won't agree with me… but it's something I have to do… no… it's something I want to do. (Why?) Because all my friends died while I was the only one who lived. Just like all the other loops that I've been through. I was the only one who was truly happy and again… the only survivor. But no more. I will take Sumika's prison of time and I will make it my own. (Eh?) I will… I won't stop. I'll go through this loop another hundred times if I want but I will find a way! Yes…"
Yes I see it now. What the Shogun, Tsukuyomi and everything said. They said those things because they were limited to time. But not for me. They said those things because they believed that they only had one choice and they could never take it back. But not me. I have… the power, the ability to change my choices. I'll boldly claim that I had the power over life and death of every human on this Earth in the last two months then perhaps maybe… just maybe, I can do it.
"I won't say that everyone was wrong. But this is the only thing only I am able to do"
Kasumi searched my mind. I could tell since her eyes were mostly focused on mine. She could tell that I was determined to go back. Suffer the same fate over and over. Perhaps for all eternity. But I didn't care anymore. I'll go through time again and again and again if I want to but I know that somewhere out there in this screwed up world is the answer I seek. I will destroy BETA and I will make sure that everyone will live. I don't care if I end up being resented by the gods, Sumika or everyone else, I want to see that future where everyone is happy! Yes… now I truly understand what I truly wanted. What I cling so long to dream. What I truly wish for… is that bright future amidst this dark sea of time.
