    Summary

    “I can turn you into poetry, but I cannot make you love me.”

    Thus is the expression of the hopeless maiden’s desire, a candle whose will to keep shining bright has lost any true meaning if not the simple and forceful yell of the expression “just live”. Rudo is the obligatory punishment to a child like them, a copy of their endless suffering with a shifting trajectory— unlike them, his grief had allowed him to move.

    Unlike him, they had nothing left to lose. When picked up by Enjin and letting their naked flesh be cradled by the man’s rough yet gentle hands, the first thing the child does is cry— the fountain works start before they can even explain their own shortcomings, the reason for their aching.

    The drive home is silent aside from their soft hiccups soothed only by Gris’ gentleness, they feel ashamed and as usual, hopeless— they’re restless, scared.

    or: Team Akuta loses a young teammate, in exchange, they find a gender struggling young boy insisting on his (her) masculinity, biting at his (her) flesh to not let the girl within be born, to not feed this futile hope.

    Yet, she is born, and so full of love.
