75

Crowe had murdered by his target last Friday, who feigned injury. She stabbed him twice, and as he died slowly on the street she said something about her next meal. He didn't want to know what that meant.

When Crowe wakes up, it seems like a horrible nightmare. He doesn't realize it's been a week, or that the incident has ended. He doesn't care. Obviously he's incapable of helping anyone. So many people told him to be careful, and he was killed so quickly.

At least he's right about it being Saturday. He figures he has two days before he has to head into school. So he's not leaving his room, or his bed. If anyone knocks on his door, it won't be answered. If they open it, they will just find him lying in his bed, not turning to answer who see who it is. The soft sound of music can be heard, though - he's holding his iPhone, which is quietly playing.

Right. It's over. Time for things to get back to normal.

[That's not a comforting thought.]

[bestwishes]

Well, we just gotta keep doin' our best. That's all we can do after all.

[Crowe tries his best, and just gets him nowhere, or so he feels. Ash gets a forced smile.]

Exactly.

[bestwishes]

Well, we gotta get somewhere eventually, right?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I haven't been very sure of that since April Fools Day.

So things have been a little rough, you can't let it get you down. They want you to give up. You're not just gonna let them win, are you?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

N-No, but... I really don't know what else to do.

[bestwishes]

Crowe, you gotta remember... A battle is never finished until the final move is called.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

I'm out of moves to make. I-I suppose I'll leave those to the rest. The Major General's Army, the DA...

[bestwishes]

Well, they haven't made the last move yet either. It can be a bit of a waiting game at times. Sometimes it's better to wait for an opening than charging in blind.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

Well, they can do it without me. I-I don't want to be a liability anymore.

[He sighs.] I-I'm sorry, Ash. I don't mean to be...

[bestwishes]

Don't worry 'bout it, I'm not saying you gotta keep up on the offensive... Just don't let yourself admit defeat, okay?

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

[He nods, after a moment.]

[bestwishes]

Good, I'm taking Pikachu and the others out for a bit of training now, so I'll be don the park if you need me then.

[perfektsymmetry.livejournal.com]

A-Alright.


Thanks, Ash.
