[b]You hear the bullet whistle by, and look over to see the bullet ripped through the stranger's hair, barely missing his skull. His hand is on yours, pushing the gun upwards.[/b] Why? What did I do to you?
-
"You saved me, thats what you did."
-
[b]He stares down at the ground, looking disappointed, though in you or himself you don't know.[/b] So that makes you want to kill me? A complete stranger just out his life on the line for you, and you're willing to not only waste that, but to end him as well?
-
"If it kills me, yes"
-
[b]He looks over at you, and you can see a stream of blood running into his right eye.[/b] Why? What could make you wish for death so much?
-
"Fire, my girlfriend...... she was killed. I dont want to live without her....."
-
[b]He smiles weakly[/b] Do you think she would want you to stop living? Or do you think she would want you to live in her name?
-
"She'd want me to live..... but i dont."
-
So do her wishes not matter to you?
-
"I..... they do but i dont know if i can live like this"
-
Put yourself in her shoes. If you died, would you want her to die too?
-
"N-no of course not"
-
Then don't die. Live. Enjoy life, if not for your sake, then hers. [b]He steps away from you and holds out his hand.[/b]
-
"I-i dont know......" [b]She drops the gun[/b]
-
[b]He puts the gun in the bag at his side[/b] How can I show you that there's still beauty in the world, still reasons to live?
-
"I...i really dont know."
-
[b]He puts his hands on his hips and stares upwards, thinking.[/b] Surely there's something. What normally makes you happy?
-
"F-fire....."
-
[b]He sighs softly[/b] Besides her?
-
"Not really....."
-
What made you happy before you met her?
-
"My boyfriend......."
-
What made you happy before a significant other?
-
"Nothing......"
-
And how can that be the case? You're telling me you were always sad before them?
