Eternal Melody

'Then what if I kill you.'

Sano felt his heartbeat increase, his palms turn sweaty, and he felt beads of sweat fall from his face rapidly. The words she said that time echoed in his head like some kind of spell. Not once since that time did a day go by where he did not think of those words. It was the first time he felt fear, and to think it came from the girl he loved.

He felt fear, and at the same time, he wondered. Since when did her gaze become this way? Those blood lust-looking eyes, devoid of any hope and emotion. Since when did she give up on the world?

He thought back to the time they dated. Each time she had them, all those emotional outbursts, he noticed the look in her eyes would change. At some point, it felt like he was arguing with a doll. He became increasingly angrier with her because she looked so emotionless even when they argued.

Why did he not realize then?

She was already losing hope in the world, and he was the last straw. She, who already gave up on everything a long time ago, clung to him, hoping that maybe she could still change her mind. But what on earth did he do?

"Sumire?"

"But hah, right now, I don't have much strength."

"You have no idea how dangerous this position is." He mumbled.

"I do know, but I can't move."

"Kiss me, Sumire."

"It will be weird in this position."

Sano laughed. "Is that your new excuse?"

"Mmm, it is."

Sano extended his hand out and traced her lips. "It's a waste for you to be with Terashima."

"A waste, huh? Than San, are you asking me to be yours?"

"If you understand that-" Sano's sentence fell short when he felt a prick on his arm. He gritted his teeth, realizing. "Sumire don't-"

"Sorry, I will only leave for a few hours. I will return by nightfall, so stay put until then."

Sano wanted to scream and tell her to stop, but whatever she injected in him took his voice away too. He struggled to keep his consciousness in tac as he felt her stand up.

Don't go, please you will die-

"Tell him, despite all this. The world is still beautiful."

Despite what it looked like, she wasn't a person who believed in fate. She didn't disregard it to a complete degree like some people do by saying it is make belief,' or a figment of people's imaginations.

But she could not completely believe it. It is something that did not mean anything to her; that is why she could disregard it.

But from the very beginning, she's never held any particular attachment to anything. In the end, the person she has always been from the very beginning has been empty, and that's why she unconsciously finds there to be a wall around her and others.

Sumire reached over and extended her hand out to the sky, even though things are different now than before. Even though she has accepted it to a degree about needing others, she knew that in the end, her core views still hadn't changed. No matter how many times she gets shaken up or amazed by someone's actions. In the end, it will always revolt back to this.

'It's your color,' Ru, has she gotten stronger now? Is it truly okay for her to take hold of this power and take another step forward? On days where she is left alone, she often has such thoughts.

Sumire recalled her eyes as she recalled a particular conversation.

'You see, I don't have anything. Things I want to do, things I can do, I don't have any of them. That's why, on the other hand, maybe something like that might actually work or something'.

That's right.

Because she never had anything to lose from the beginning. No matter what reckless action she takes. No matter what action she ends up going through since there is nothing to lose. It becomes fine for her to go through with it.

But she wondered at what point did that change? Since when did she start to fear the consequences of her careless actions? Sumire stood on the rooftop as she overlooked the town. The place where she was now was a place near Tokyo. It was not the countryside, but the population in this place is smaller than most.

"It seems you still have a bad habit of climbing on roofs. I thought you were afraid of heights."

"I am, but the view is nicer here."

The man who just appeared sweating is none other than Nakara Shin.

"Did your boss finally let you go?"

Shin sighed. "They thought I tampered with the evidence and changed it so you wouldn't get in trouble. Thanks to that, I have not had the chance to check on Yuhi."

"Yuhi is doing well; San visited him."

Shin looked baffled, and she chuckled. "I wondered what kind of conversation they had; surely it was something interesting?"

"You're messing around again. This time too, sneaking away from Nagawa." Shin pointed to an old man wearing a navy blue colored suit. "That is the face of the guy you wanted to see; he is the mayor of this city. But he is causing problems and trying to make it big in Tokyo. Rumors say he is the one who is causing problems for the delinquent world and idol association board."

"Why the latter?"

The first thing makes sense. Many dislikes anything to do with the underworld.

Shin looked troubled. "It's you."

"I have never met him."

"You sure? When I tried to question him and mentioned you, you should have seen his face."

Sumire tilted her head puzzled. She is sure she has never met this guy before, but he is hostile towards her?

"You know I heard you have better control of your abilities now. If so, cant you just use some mind control on that guy?"

Sumire sighed. "Even if I do that, it is not like the situation will change. It will have the reverse effect. His followers would end up suspicious and investigate. They will learn about my abilities, and it will worsen the situation."

Shin looked doubtful. "Those people aren't smart enough to make that connection."

"Perhaps, but there is still that one percent chance."

"Still, mayors are individuals chosen by the people. I can see why you are reluctant to just directly confront them."

"Is he truly the voice of the people?" Sumire pointed to a tall building. "That orphanage down there is swarmed with debt. They are having a hard time feeding the kids because a rich man swayed them to give the donation money away."

".."

"The people in that shop below this building illegally started their business. Their shop is not licensed; they have to be careful every time there is an inspection."

"Sumire."

"All of this is because these people do not have money. The mayor, if he is the voice of the people, then I wonder why he does not help them?"

If a person has the power to change things but does not use it, they have committed a great sin.
