- >A lake, floating upon the water looking up at pure white sky like pearls.
- >On the sides, trees surrounded by mist.
- >The water feels so cold.
- >Why is it so cold?
- >Something else, like a fire, a flash of warmth.
- >But why is it warm?
- >It should be cold like everything else here.
- >Something coming up through the water soaking wet purple skin.
- >Nude form rising above you.
- >Eyes closed but slowly opening to you.
- "Aria? Aria is that you?"
- >"Who is Aria?"
- "So you aren't Aria then.."
- >"I didn't say that. I ask, who is Aria, to you, who is she?"
- "A character in a childrens film. A cute one, one that I'd like to be with romantically."
- >Sky turning tinges of brown like parchment.
- >"Do you seek romance out of validation? Are you not satisfied with how things are?"
- "Well, it should be obvious that I'm not. What's worse than being alone?"
- >"There are many things, but you should take the opportunity that loneliness gives you to make improvements to your life."
- "But why would you give me this advice?"
- >"This desire is not healthy. Living in a fantasy distracts from where you really are. Life is not as mundane as you perceive it to be, you choose not to marvel in it's complexity."
- "What is a beautiful life without someone to share it with?"
- >Sway upon the waters, sky mellowing to light blue.
- >"It is the life that you make it. You can choose to be happy or choose to desire something that will never come to pass."
- "What if the thing that makes me happy is desiring something that will not be?"
- >"Then dwell in a dream that will not be fulfilled. You sacrifice the life you have for a life of a dreamer. A pipe dream of a man who doesn't want to take action and make the best of what he's got."
- >The whistle of the wind through the trees.
- "The world is garbage anyway, it's so disgusting and corrupt. It's beyond salvaging, who would want to live in it?"
- >"Do you think Aria wants to live in this world?"
- "I think she was forced to."
- >"But she's made the best of it."
- "Are you telling me to just let it go? I need her, and I'm sick of being alone."
- >She tilts her head to the sky.
- >Her ponytails being blown in the wind as the sky fades to that parchment hue again.
- >"If your ambition coincides with your dreams, then you should find someone you can be happy with.."
- "Will she come to me? Will you come to me? Can I be with you?"
- >"You act as if I have any control over that. You drift through life on the waters surface, you can choose not to swim, but eventually everyone sinks beneath the water."
- "What about the shorelines over there? The trees?"
- >"A false sense of security that we can swim away to them at any time. To prevent us from panicking. There is no shore, only the illusion of one."
- "But you're here right now in the water with me, what does that mean?"
- >"I represent your desires, and if you aren't careful, I'll be the one who pulls you under."
