    Valediction

    good greetings there, my awful friend, my dearest foeof course

    I wont be taking too much of your precious time;

    just flogging the dead horse

    you left lying on the road.

    you see, theres things that form a sum

    some things

    I couldve said

    and theres some things

    I shouldve said

    or wouldve said

    had I been speaking in my mother language

    and my brother medium;

    think of this as writing us a novel

    on this warzones hateful lore

    think of this as laying flowers

    on the grave of Three-T Bachelor

    you know, the one that months ago came terminally ill

    of a disease rare among her kindthe one whose cheerful navet would kill

    doubt of ulterior motives in her mind

    indeed, it was four years of the most unlikely bond

    a friendship

    at first, between two ends of the hierarchy

    in time, the hastily established order

    turned into a circle of sorts, a hive of festering anarchy

    from afar, I scavenged through the bits of data available

    it all became much more plausible than it seemedI thought, we arent that much unlike each other

    and we started talking about our common fiends

    in time they disposed of you like they did of me...

    you can probably recall the bitter times we only had each other, you see,

    I remember

    the times Kokoro and the Mancers Dilemma were the only things

    that kept us from going utterly

    insane

    remember the times of Mio, or the reactor explosions?

    2/2

    the times when things could go from bad to worse

    yes, every day

    I tried to be by your side those blasted moments

    but hey, you probably took it as putting up with me anyway

    you were the one calling the shots

    you were the one shepherding and taking us to the Tree

    or to the Philharmonics, which I didnt even know existed

    were those times also shots at jettisoning me?

    well, a round of applause for credibility

    you searched and searched

    and finally you found one

    a clear shot

    when you finally did it

    it took you long enough

    although you were significantly less convincing

    you speak inebriated with the sense of power

    yourself, for you created

    come later to explain it as sarcasm

    hypocrite

    you live and love indoctrination

    and fighting a disinterested war. I dont want to gloat

    but you dont have much of a chance to shake this boat

    since your only tactic seems to be isolating me and making me pay

    albeit your mirroring seems to forget

    that Im the warflower thats either used to it

    or very far away

    you spoke numerous times of an dark side,

    the Akiranow it seems to be flowing through you

    a side of you that cant be spoken to

    Im speaking to it for the last time, but not for pacifistic reasons

    the only warzone I care about is my mind, a world of fiction

    that keeps rebuilding after each of these petty treasons

    and the final stone block needed

    is this very valediction
