OKAY THIS STARTED OUT AS A SMALL POEM BUT GREW
TRIGGER WARNINGS TALK OF DEATH SUICIDE AND IMPLICATIONS OF SA
Momma,
Im not sure how death works so i dont know if you can see or hear this as i read it aloud as i type
Its almost August again, my least favorite month
It will be nine years
My how has it been that long?
I still look around for you anytime i hear someone say “seashell” thinking youve come back and its all some sort of sick joke and your calling out to me so i can return to your arms
Like the time you put fake roaches on my pillow when i was six and i cryed
Just much worse of a joke
This october ill be 22,
Can you believe it Momma?
The last time you saw me i wasnt even 13 yet
You missed it
Youve missed a lot
Me being a teenager
My first kiss
Heartbreak
Me getting into all advanced classes after panicking all summer thinking i wasnt smart enough for it
My graduation
Momma you missed my graduation, you promised,
You missed the tears from my diagnosis and learning the fact ill never be a momma
Eventualy youll miss a wedding
But thats just me…. What about the baby girl you left behind at only 2?
Does she remember? Does she even know you? I cant ask her these things because when i lost you i lost her too
She lives with her father now……. I know shes just turned 11 two days ago….
She shouldnt have to live with that man
Not after what he did
But i was only twelve when you left i couldnt fight for custody
Even if i did raise her as my own at ten years old because you were too sick
The court wouldnt understand
But im getting off topic
The older i get the more i understand how sick you really were
I get some of the same thoughts you used too
Momma let me tell you it is fucking hard, youre stronger than i gave you credit for when i was ten,
You tried to talk to me, you tried to explain but as the oldest daughter i was still to young to be my mothers therapist.
And i was angry, at you, myself but most importantly HIM
I had immense pain of my own so i didnt think about you hurting because of it too
All i could do was ask
“Momma why didnt you ever stop him it hurts”
And i couldnt understand that he hurt you too
I forgive you
I forgive that i had to raise my 2 little sisters till i moved in with my father and sister and lost one of them to her terrible father
Am i saying my father is any better? NO but he would never do what her father did.
I forgive you for not stopping him
And momma i forgive you for leaving us
The day i walked in to that apartment and found you in that kitchen with a knife in your chest
I never thought i would say that
I miss you, and i might not understand fully what your illness was like but my own gives me glimpses
But ill contine you to learn from your story
Be stronger than the thoughts
And forgive
And momma?
I forgive HIM
Not for him but for you, and for my heart
You always told me i dont have a hateful heart
Youre right….. I have a murderous one
But he isnt worth my thoughts or my rage not anymore
Oh and momma?
I know you and me both didnt say it much when you were alive….
I love you ~ Your oldest daughter
Forever your Sea Shell

you said you wanted to read it there ya go

「Amidst the Clearing in the Rain」 - Rindou
Ignite A Noise who? Don't know her-
After a whole year of playing I finally have Rindou's initial 5* fully bloomed :D
pt. 1
Rindou
Are you headed home? It suddenly started raining, so please be careful.
Do you have an umbrella? I can lend you an umbrella if you’d like.
MC
Wouldn’t it be troubling for Rindou-san?
Rindou
I’m fine. My house is nearby, so it’s easy to run.
More importantly, I’m more concerned about you catching a cold.
MC
I’ll be sure to be careful.
Thank you.
Rindou
Ah, I’m sorry. I feel like I’ve intruded too much.
My family has always been prone to catching colds.
I’m sorry. Please, just be careful.
MC
Then, shouldn’t Rindou-san be careful as well?
Rindou
I’ve always been quite healthy, so I’ll be fine.
Besides, I don’t dislike the rain.
You could say I like looking at it.
It feels like everything is being washed away.
Though it is a bit silly to let your emotions be swayed by the weather like this...
I feel like the truth is very close to this, surprisingly.
You can’t go against nature.
Ah, I’m sorry. I got in your way.
If my umbrella is alright with you, it’s in Unei’s office.
If you ever need it, please just take it.
Well then, please take care. See you tomorrow.
pt. 2
Rindou
When it rained yesterday, were you alright?
It suddenly stopped as I was about to head home.
However, when I left the store, it started pouring again.
It caught me a bit off guard.
I ran as fast as I could because my house was just nearby, but when I arrived my clothes were soaked heavily.
MC
Are you alright?
Rindou
I’m alright. I’m a very healthy person.
(coughs)
MC
...You’re not okay.
Rindou
I’m alright.
MC
Please don’t overdo it.
Rindou
Fufu, this is quite refreshing.
In Starless, you’re responsible for your own physical condition.
Because we fulfil a variety of roles, even an understudy needs t be able to stand on their own.
If you're unable to stand on the change, they'll change the starting line up without hesitation.
So, I don’t have time to get sick.
(coughs)
MC
Rindou-san...?
Rindou
I think it’s a bit dusty in here.
I’ll be sure to clean up later.
(dancing)
….Huh, where did I leave my water bottle?
MC
Ah, isn’t it this here? Here you go.
Rindou
Thank you very much. I’ll go grab it.
Ah, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hold on to your hand.
MC
Your fingers were very warm.
Do you perhaps have a fever?
Rindou
(angry) I don’t. I’m fine.
Rindou
(calms down)
...I’ve caused you to worry.
I’m sorry, but I really am alright.
I will return to the lesson. Please watch over me if you’d like.
MC
...You’re alright, huh.
pt. 3
Rindou
(looking around) It...It should be around here somewhere....
MC
Rindou-san? Are you reall okay?
You've looked pale even before you went to take a break...
Rindou
(shocked)
...Ah, apologies, you caught me off guard. It seems I've scared you as well.
I've been looking for something, but it looks like I'll just have to ask Un'ei later.
I'll go back to my lessons. You should also-
(collapses)
MC
Rindou-san!? Are you okay?
Rindou
Sorry...I'm just a bit...
MC
You have a fever, don't you?
Please take a seat and relax.
Rindou
Un'ei-kun should have cold medicine, so I thought of looking just for that...
MC
I'll look for you.
Please just sit down.
Rindou
I'm sorry, I'm troubling you again...
I'm always so helpless...
MC
Hm?
Rindou
It's nothing.
(MC hands over the cold medicine to Rindou)
Rindou
I'm sorry to bother you, but the cold medicine really helps.
I'm grateful to Un'ei-kun for having a medicine box ready.
...Break time is almost over. I was just in time.
MC
This doesn't work immediately, though? So why don't you just rest for the day?
Rindou
It's alright. Sitting down made me feel a little better.
I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you.
And one more thing...can you please keep this a secret from the others?
MC
But...
Rindou
If I'm not in my best, I will be disqualified from being out top.
I don't want anyone else to know about this.
MC
D-disqualified...
Rindou
I won't forgive myself if that were to happen.
I don't want to be taken away from the stage.
...Hah, it looks like it'll rain heavily tonight as well.
MC
(Rindou-san...)
pt. 4
(backstage, a rearrangement of Niji no Kanata E plays in the bg)
Rindou
Welcome, MC-san. I'm glad you could make it to the show.
MC
Uh, are you alright now?
Rindou
Fufu, I'm alright now. There's no need to worry.
The cold is our little secret, okay?
MC
Please just don't overowrk yourself, okay?
Rindou
That's right...I don't want to show you such an unsightly view.
MC
That's not what I meant...
Rindou
I should really be careful, because I don't want you to be so worried over me.
It's embarassing to be seen so weak like that...
But, it made me a bit happy. Thank you so much for worrying for me so unconditionally.
If you ever got a cold, I should be the first one to know.
I'm sure you'll be worried over it, but please let me take care of you as well.
MC
I hope it doesn't ever get to that.
Rindou
Speaking of rain, are you alright? It rained a bit a while ago in the morning.
MC
I was fine. Did Rindou-san get drenched this time?
Rindou
I had an umbrella with me today, but before I knew it, the rain stopped, and suddenly...
Between the buildings, I was able to see a rainbow.
It had been a while since I last saw one, so I was really happy to see it.
I wish you were there. I wanted the two of us to see it together.
I wonder what you would have said at that moment.
I really can't hate the rain. The atmosphere during it is so nice.
It feels like everything will be washed away as well.
It's not good to be so easily swayed by the weather, despite having rain or not...
But, if I'm able to see such a beautiful rainbow at the end, then I'll be happy.
Like being able to see you smile.
You're going to watch the show, aren't you? Please, I want you to keep your eyes on me.
Please, only look at me, okay?
