Into the Enchanting Pall
My prodigious talent led to high hopes and attention from those around me. But I couldn't live up to them, as that just wasn't who I am. I didn't blame anyone or grieve over that situation, but it did lead to me severing ties with my beloved hometown.
That's just the kind of worthless good-for-nothing I am.
But then...I found a partner who got angry on my behalf. I found a kouhai who told me I was good at taking care of others. And best of all, I found someone who understood me at my most beautiful.
Yeah. My life wasn't all doom and gloom. I do have some good memories. Memories I gained thanks to being true to myself.
Here, on the cliffs of reincarnation, I flash a shy smile. A refreshing breeze wafts through the air as the beautiful twilight sun continues to set.
