Lost of Love

Blood, Love, and Revenge. All in one.. taking place within his apartment.
A girl, dead from the side against the wall, A beast beheaded by an axe as its blood splatters around the walls.

A gut filled with grief, with heartbreak, and resentment. As he stands over the beast he has beheaded, the same beast that has ended his lover’s life.

Emptiness.
A negative emotion or feeling in which a person feels disconnected, hollow, or emotionally drained after a tragic event.

At the graveyard, the pouring rain was above him. Nothing but total emptiness and heartbreak. He stands, looking over his lover’s grave. No one else was around but him.

- A man in a suit approaches him..
(?) : “I’m sorry for your loss.”
- He turns towards the man wearing a suit, holding an umbrella.
”Who are you..?”
He replies..
(?) : “I’m with Beast Safety Control, my team was the one that had investigated your home about the attack.”
(?) : “I’m truly sorry for your loss, Shiro.”
- He looks away from the man.
SHIRO : “I never understand..”
- The man looked confused.
SHIRO : “Fate always ends up taking everything away from me.”
- The man walks forward.
(?) : “We live in a world of chaos, where man-eating beasts exist that ends the lives of our loved ones.”
(?) : “Such forces of our world are too strong that us human’s only choice is to prevent or avoid them.”
- Shiro looks at the man. Eyes with no kind of feeling, but only emptiness.
(?) : “Please find closure and peace for your own. The only thing to worry about for now is your own safety.”
- The man walks away, before turning his head back towards Shiro.
(?) : May your lover rest in peace.
- The man walks off.

Shiro stands over her grave for a few more minutes as the rain grows stronger.

…

He heads back to his apartment, and as he walks in, he sees all the blood that was once there, cleaned by the Beast Safety Control during their investigation. He remembers the noise and light Sheena would bring into their home. He’d see remnants of Sheena, remembering the times he’d see her cook in the kitchen, how she’d always greet Shiro once he was home, and all in all her total energy that remains within Shiro’s head, lingering everywhere around him.

He sits by the living room sofa, with emptiness. He curls himself up in a ball, sitting position. As he covers his face, he begins to tear up.

…

It’s been a few days since Sheena’s death. Shiro has been depressed and empty. He’s back to living alone again, just like he grew up. The apartment is always empty now.

“I’d like to drop out.”

(RECEPTIONIST) : “Shiro..? You’d like to drop out..?”
SHIRO : “I’m sure of my decision.”
(RECEPTIONIST) : “I-.. I can’t make that happen..”
(RECEPTIONIST) : “I know you’re down over Sheena’s death.. but that doesn’t mean you’d throw everything away just for her.”
SHIRO : “I know. But it’s my decision.. and I’ll be dropping out of my education.”
(RECEPTIONIST) : Sighs.. “I’ll do what I can.”
SHIRO : “Thank you.”
(RECEPTIONIST) : “I’m sorry for your loss.”
- Shiro nodded before he left the school building.

…

“How much would these sell?”

(PAWNSHOP OWNER) : “Geez, kid.. This is a lot.”
SHIRO : “How much?”
(PAWNSHOP OWNER) : “Maybe.. 30,000 Yen for one box..?”
(PAWNSHOP OWNER) : “You have 3 boxes you’re willing to sell.. So I’d pay.. maybe 85,000 Yen for all of it.”
SHIRO : “Deal.”
- The pawnshop owner hands him the envelope full of money..
(PAWNSHOP OWNER) : “Great doing business with you, kid.”
- Shiro nodded before leaving.

…

“I’m moving out.”

(OTP Landlord) : “So suddenly..?”
SHIRO : “Yes.”
(OTP Landlord) : “Well.. I’ll need a 2-week pay for your rent.. and you can move out..”
SHIRO : “I’ll send it over to your name.
(OTP Landlord) : “Why are you moving out though..? It’s so sudden..”
(OTP Landlord) : “Is it cause of Sheena’s death..?”
SHIRO : “It’s none of your business.”
- Shiro ends the call.

Escape
The action of leaving your life’s responsibilities and importance to run away or start a new life.

Shiro packs his things, his clothes, his devices, and some food as he prepares to run away from his current life.

He loads his car with his packed things. He heads back to the apartment and takes a picture of himself and Sheena together. Before leaving, he looks back at the apartment as it is all empty with not much left aside for some furniture, as he then locks the door and leaves the key under its doormat.

He starts up his car as he heads on his way towards Chiba City, where he will start a new life, a city life.
