Anonymous said: Hi Kiriha! Its been in my head for a while now, this question, but what do you think a darker/evil you would be like? Like.. what if you DID threw away your *cough* love for everyone when Deckerdramon tried stopping you, can you imagine what would happen?

Let me ask you something first.

Can you imagine what would’ve happened?

Picture it. A barren land in ruins. Everyone’s words falling on deaf ears. Cold-blooded eyes looking over the remnants of bodies without an ounce of pity or remorse. A heart so hardened by arrogance, so drunk with power, turning a blind eye from any feeling of empathy, ruling over the monopolized lands with an iron fist. Resentment. Carnage. A meaningless, war-torn life.

And, the last-standing General’s downfall.

Can you imagine it?

Because I can’t.

I don’t have to try to imagine it. It just burns itself at the back of my mind, like a fresh memory. A memory that never was. A horrible dream.

I can’t imagine it. What might have become of me, if they didn’t help me open my eyes to reality. Before I lost what I already had and needed the most.

No, I don’t want to imagine it. Because no matter how I’d see it, I know it’ll turn out to be nothing but a bad ending.

There’s no point in dwelling in the past, and these irrational ‘what-if’s do nothing but hold me back. I’ve already been given a second chance. They’ve forgiven my mistakes. And I’ve made up my mind, to make good use of that second chance, and show them how grateful I am for it.

And frankly, I won’t settle for any less than what I’ve already got.
