My wish

"What do I wish for? What do I want more than anything?" Moon pondered.

Hikari says "You want to die so badly. Why don't you stand up?"

Tears were flowing down her face.

Moon says "If I chose to be dead. I will. Why do you care!"

She says "I care for you so much. More than anything or person in this world."

"Why do you care about me?" Moon stood up and said.

He walks up to her while struggling to walk. "I know that you care about me and I care about you, too. I am not worth it. I drag you down. I drag everyone down. I feel everyone would be happier if I was dead."

He hugs her.

She tries to pull him off but can't. "Let me go. I can't stand to hear this. I know this isn't you. You are strong. You don't trust anyone. You don't care about anything. You only want to be on top. You don't see anyone but yourself."

He feels the need to cry but says softly, "Lies. I have never been strong. I just ran away. I act like I am. I watch everyone have fun and normal life. I get jealous of the fact I can never have that. I want to be normal so badly. It's impossible. I'm cursed."

"Who said that? I will kill them. You have worth. You are in my heart forever. You are not cursed." Hikari treasured him.

"I don't like that." He pulls her away.

"Don't like what?" she questioned.

"I don't like the way you lie to me. I will never have any worth. I will never be loved. Since day one I was alone. Til you found me. Even then I still don't fit in" Moon said.

He walks to the roof's edge, leans onto the rail, and says "I will always have this loneliness in my heart. I want to be strong. I want to be happy. I want so many things. I will never be as great as you and Escilpes. I am just the adopted kid you picked up because you felt I was desperate for survival. I am really glad you saved me but I don't think you should have."

He sits on the metal fence that is supposed to keep people from falling.

She shouts "I love you with all I have! Stop trying to give up on things that I know you can achieve. Dream harder, work harder. Believe in yourself." 

Moon says "Maybe that sappy bullcrap may have worked in the past but I am done. This is where I rest."

He jumps off.

As soon as he jumps, Hikari sprints and rushes after him. Her hair grows blacker at the ends. She grows many black slime-like tentacles out of her back. 

While running she thinks, "I'm not going to make it in time. Will he die? What drove him to give up? Was it me?...

Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me? Was it me?

No, it can be. All I did was love and support him. I tried to be the light in his life. Unlike me, he doesn't try. He doesn't struggle. Unlike me, he doesn't change. He stays in his own despair. Unlike me, he doesn't have any expectations placed on him. He isn't the pride and joy. He doesn't have to fit the standard left behind by someone else. He is free."

She continues running. Moon drifts lower and lower. He gets closer and closer to the ground at an alarming rate.

Moon keeps hearing in his head, "What do you wish for? What do you desire?"

He looks at the ground and sees his life flash before his eyes. He sees memories from the past flow past him. Some are black and burned. He feels like he is forgetting something. He blinks and sees the memory of when he first meets Hikari. He starts to relive it.

Moon is six years old. He is wearing a dirty and burned black cloak. Moon's face is covered in burn marks and his hands are covered in ashes. He is dirty.

Moon is walking around town while being surrounded by snow and people. Each person doing something different, living in cheer with smiling faces. Moon was different. He is walking with a hood on his head. He was struggling to walk. He didn't know where he was going. He just knew he had to keep moving. His body became weak as he hadn't eaten nor had he taken a break.

Each step was proving difficult for him. Moon trips over some snow and falls in the middle of the road.

He has his face in the snow and thinks "I have to move." He tries but can't seem to move because of muscle soreness.

Moon mangles to get some strength to move his head. He looks desperately for help. He thinks to call for help but doesn't.

Some people look at him and say "Why would I help some garbage? How dirty? Eww. An orphan. Why would I help?"

Some little girl says "Mommy, shouldn't we help?" Her mother says "Why should we help? We get nothing. He looks broke. Let's go."

Moon's head falls back into the snow. He thinks "I wish... someone would help me..."

As he drifts off to sleep.
