Intro Song: / Passover - Joy Division

He...
Could only stare...
As the whole world... was being split in two-
He didn't want to believe it-
He didn't want to believe any of this-
Ever happened...
Ever...
He knew...
There really was nothing he could do-
He raised his head-
And stared into the heavens-
The clouds were so thick with mist-
You could barely see if there was even any light-
At the end of it...
The rain kept smouldering and pelting him-
He caught his hand underneath the very bottom of the crater, he found himself in-
The dirty, muddy water-
His hand...
It kept on...
Shaking and shaking and shaking and shaking and shaking and shaking-
Ever so violently-
He didn't leave his eyes upon the very sights-
He accepted it...
His...
Eventual death...
At the hands of someone he loved and admired so much-
He admitted right here... right now...
That was...
To a fault...
...
His lips parted, catching some of the rain-
Its taste lingering on his tongue...
Everything...
Disgusted him...
"Just kill me already..."
His sobbing and fury-
Hidden by the weather-
He rose up-
Spreading his hands ever so widely-
Stretching into the far beyonds-
Maybe then...
Maybe that...
Could save his family...
...
"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???????????????"
"JUST FUCKING KILL ME ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"YOU FUCKING COWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And just like that...
A bright flash of blue filled his eyes-
With a shockwave that rivalled that of the atomic bomb-
He knew...
This was it...
This...
Was his resting place...
...
Just like the others all around him-
Washed all over-
Erased...
From the very face of the earth...
...
"Grab him already!"
"I'm trying!!!!! Ugh!!!!!!"
"PLEASE HOLD ON RUSHI-KUN!!!!!!!"
"I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
"YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!"
"COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"YOU CAN MAKE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD OH GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

/ There There - Radiohead
A sudden rush of oxygen-
A rush of blood to the head kept on running-
A consciousness awakening-
He immediately rose from his slumber-
And what he saw...
His eyes widened-
Sweat from his body all spread-
His trembling legs gave way to his kneeling...
A gigantic crater that spanned for kilometers and felt like it went on for forever-
It...
Was...
"W-what..."
"What the fuck..."
He couldn't believe it...
This...
Was...
His home...
This was where he grew up...
This...
Was where he was supposed to die-
"Oh, you're awake now Kuroke-"
"WHY D'YOU SAVE ME HUH?????"
"Huh..."
He grabbed the collars of Himura's ragged shirt, choking her out-
Her hands were struggling to get his out-
Her aura dwindled to the lowest she's ever had it at...
Her expression-
Was not expecting this at all...
Kuroke immediately felt the sudden swing of the blade-
Lightning rushed through it-
Threatening to turn him into ash, a lifeless mush of nothingness...
"Let her go... Kuroke..."
"WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SAVE ME???? I SHOULD'VE DIED!!!!!!"
"I SHOULD BE WITH THEM...!"
"I. SAID."
"LET. HER. GO."
He turned his head to see a younger boy, with his blade turned against him-
It was Rushiko, and his body gave way to a coldness-
They snuck up right behind both Kuroke and Himura's skins-
The sun may be peering through-
Right after the end...

But it was nearing sunset...
With no more light to be had...
"...Fuck!"
He immediately let Himura go, who was panting from the extreme pressure she felt from his grasps-
"Go see Suzu-san..."
"But Rushiko! It's natural for him to feel this way-"
He turned his head to show a face...
Who was holding back every urge to dispatch of him...
Right here...
And right now...
It twitched-
His eyes started to water up-
But he never really did cry...
He only kept it in...
...
But he let out a quiet whimper, turning his back to Kuroke...
"Go. see. him."
"Before I decide to do something she won't like"
Himura couldn't believe him, shaking his head repeatedly-
Furrowing her brows at him-
"Unbelievable!"
"I know you two are so-called 'rivals'!"
"But this is crossing the line!"
"No... Himura..."
"He's not Kuroke anymore..."
"I believe..."
He watches and listens to the pushing of his every footstep, meeting the figure over by the distance-
His struggle of pulling, as loud as the weaving of his feet on the land-
"He's already dead..."
"He's just a body walking now..."
Right by the orange hue that covered the entire land...
A blowing of the wind, that gave chills-
Speaking of the night ever coming their way...
The weight they all felt...
Was immeasurable...
"Y'know... Himura..."
She pouted, crossing her arms right up against her chest-
"What?"
"After today..."
"I don't know whether what Suzu-san did was-"
"Right or wrong..."
She let out a deep sigh, releasing a lot of pent-up air-
She grabbed him by the waist, wrapping her arms all around him-
"Rushi-kun..."
"This is war..."
"And we..."
"Are soldiers..."
"Don't forget that..."
Rushiko kept watching Kuroke's wandering body out in the open-
"Yeah..."
"We... were born to kill huh...?"
"Especially us..."
"We..."
"Never really had any homes to go back to, huh?"
"I..."
"I don't even remember who my REAL family were..."
She rubbed her head up against his chest-
"Nor do I..." her voice had whispered-
She looks up at him-
Her face-
On the verge of breaking...
"But we're all the family you need, right?"
"Yeah..."
And by looking at the sight of the boy, he's despised all the time he'd known him-
He only shook his head and scoffed-
"Yeah..."
Embracing her further...
The air was simultaneously freeing...
But also...
It felt...
Heavy...
Like...
They shouldn't even be here any more...
Lest they'd want to join those...
Who had...
Parted...
…
/ Lift - Radiohead
The light was blinding-
Memories of a life and path flashed them both by-
They both knew...
There was no going back from this-
And how could they?
He just stood there, contemplating on what he...
Just did...
The blackness of the sky ever approaching-
The twilight and the twinkles-
Ever more potent than ever...
His eyes kept still...
His body didn't move a muscle-
Like he was expecting something to happen-
Like he already knew what the outcome was-
And so-
A blade was unsheathed from existence-
A black burning that kept on spewing smoke-
A smoke that surely would never end-
As long as he drew breath-
The figure standing there also drew both his hands out from his pockets-
For the first time-
His aura isn't what it once was-
Not after...
What he just did...
Thin lines that look like it could shatter in contact with just the slight flick of the wrist-
And yet...
He could only turn his head sideways-
Only meeting him halfway through-
"Kuroke..."
"SHUT THE FUCK UP"
"YOU DON'T GET TO CALL ME ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!"
And with the extreme bearing of his blade-
Suzushii instantly flashed behind Kuroke's back-
All it took was taking every bit of power he had left-
Even taking some of his needed life energy-
To build up one more...
"Cluster surge..."
"Don't try anything-"
"I can kill you."
"Any moment I so choose..."
His voice was colder, which even in Kuroke's frantic thoughts-
Was quite the shock to the system-
"Why. did. you-"
"Because I had to-" Suzushii cut deeply-
Suzushii lifted his chin upwards-
Staring at him deadly-
Their distance the closest it's ever been-
And yet...
Their souls...
Couldn't have been the most further apart from each other-
And the night...
Had fallen upon them...
"I..."
"I will kill you..."
"I. WILL. FUCKING. KILL. YOU."
Kuroke's breath smeared itself all over Suzushii's face, who didn't even budge a muscle-
Nor did he blink-
"Then go ahead already-"
"Do. It."
"What's the matter?"
"FUCKING DO IT ALREADY!!!!!!!!"
SUZUSHII SCREAMED AS HE LET OUT HALF OF HIS ATTACK ON THE GROUND BENEATH THEM-
THE VERY PLAINS THEY STOOD ON-
HAD SHIFTED AND CRACKED IN HALF!
THE RUBBLE AND THE ROCKS MOVED IN RESPONSE-
IN ACCORDING TO HIS WILL-
He just turned his back on Kuroke, shaking his head-
And in grabbing his nape-
He faced him sideways once again-
His face reminded him of...
All the insurgents... he's always wanted to kill...
Kuroke just kept on panting, his hand on his chest-
He crumpled his shirt and gripped it tightly-
His lips quivered and cursed Suzushii-
His body was on his knees...
Once again...
Unable to move against Suzushii...
Unable to take the revenge, he so craved-
Which was in front of him...
He didn't know...
Whether or not he wanted to die...
Or to live...
Was he both?
Or was he already none of those things?
...
Suzushii left without saying a word-
His footsteps were facing towards Kuroke...
Who was still weeping on the ruined ground beneath him-
And he just passed him by-
To meet up with-
Whatever was left of his family...
Something he didn't know...
Whether he deserved to have... or not...
Whichever it was...
His face was obscured...
But he...
Felt great deep pangs hitting him-
Moisture on the ground was the only sign that Kuroke-
If he'd even care enough to notice anymore...
...
It was the only sign of his love for his student...
A son...
He had forsaken...
To the abyss...

/ Blue Monday - New Order
"I swear..."
"I. will. get. him."
Three figures were already in the air-
The wind all around them, fighting against them-
But they paid no mind-
After all...
...
They were even lucky to be alive...
After...
THAT...
...
She...
Kept on looking by his shoulder-
They were close to each other-
Wearing their hearts by their sleeves-
Her throat had dried up-
And she...
Didn't even know...
That she had kept it that way...
If Shion hadn't slipped by and put on the masquerade-
They would've surely...
...
Met the same fate...
"I will swear... A-aoki..."
"A-akari..."
His voice was trembling-
His words...
Were the heaviest she'd ever heard...
From someone...
Like him...
"You two..."
"Never deserved such fates..."
"All you two wanted was to live happily..."
"With each other as..."
"Family..."
"With.. u-us..."
"And yet..."
"HE took her from you..."
"And now..."
The mist was joining with his breath-
Such chills...
Were mutual...
"He was taken from you..."
"Akari..."
He felt the slight touch of the hand, gripping him softly-
By his back...
"May you two rest together now..."
...
"And leave it all to us..."
Both girls couldn't have the stomach to say anything-
It was...
Just too much...
They were so high up in the night sky-
They could touch the stars-
Mikoto reckoned that somewhere around here-
Must be them together...
Happy as can be...
Happy...
As one family...
Reunited...
After so long...
Of being apart...
...
And even though...
Suzushii had prevented...
The Final War...
From happening...
A second time around...
At WHAT price did it cost...?
This time around...
And even though...
He did so much...
To run from it...
From all of THIS...
You can't run away forever...
You can't outrun the inevitable...
You can't cheat-
What comes up...
Must eventually-
COME DOWN...
...
- A Few Years Later -
- Present Day -
- The ACTUAL Final War -

"W-why..."
"H-how..."
"I-I..."
"I guess this is it... huh..."
"Atsu..."

"M-m..."

"M-mikoto...!"
