video; @unchained

[There video opens to a beautiful scene of a sunset at the Fishing District, sky painted in magnificent pinks and oranges that reflect against the pristine ice. A few moments later, a young man's voice accompanies it, tinged with the telltale slurring of someone who's rather drunk.]

Hey, question.

[A pause hangs in the air for a minute, almost long enough that one might wonder if he's gotten distracted or forgotten.]

Did you like your life, before the Storm? [. . .] If the Natha gave you a chance to go back, would any of you stay here?

[Kagari doesn't miss Japan. He doesn't feel homesick. He misses his friends, sure, but he's had more in the past nine months than he did in the twenty-one years before it. But he's starting to feel like the only one.]

I don't give with the expectation of being given back to.

[and surely it is mean, to give expecting recompense or at least a favour owed in kind. He doesn't like that - or the kind of giving that demands a favour down the road. It feels like giving in bad faith.

He never retreated, when perhaps that seemed like the normal thing to do; he never really closed off his heart. Linneus can understand why people would... but that was never him]


No, I don't owe anyone anything. Nor do I wish them to owe me. But I think kindness is important. Maybe it is idealistic of me, but if I can help someone, I think I should.
