Kara no Kyoukai:Chapter02 07
Kara no Kyokai／Opening
July, 1998.
I safely finish my first job since I got employed at Tohko-san's office. Well, what I do is more like what a secretary does; all I did was get all the contract approved with the help of a lawyer. I'm discontent with being treated like a beginner, but I know that I deserve it after dropping out of college.
"Mikiya-kun, wasn't today the day you go to the hospital?"
"Yes. I'll go after work."
"You can get out early. There's nothing to do anyways."
Tohko-san turns into a really nice person with her glasses on. Today is one of those lucky days and she is cleaning the handle of her lovely vehicle.
"Then I'll be going. I should be back in about two hours."
"Bring me back something!"
Leaving Tohko-san behind, I leave the office.
Once a week, on Saturday afternoon, I go to visit her. I go visit Ryohgi Shiki, the girl that is unable to speak since that night. I don't know what kind of trouble she was going through or what she tried to do. I don't even know why she tried to kill me. But her smile at the very last moment is enough for me. As Gakuto said, I am insane about Shiki from a long time ago. I can't go back to being normal after being almost killed just once.
Shiki, who's sleeping in the hospital room, is the same since that night. I remember that day me and Shiki were talking in the classroom in the sunset. She asked me what part of her I could believe in. I repeat my answer from back then.
... I have no basis, but I will continue to believe in you. I like you, so I want to keep on believing in you...
... What an immature answer. I said I had no basis, but I actually had one. I can declare that with confidence that she would not kill anyone, . Because Shiki knows the pain of murder. As she is the victim and the assailant. She knows more than anyone how sad murder is.
That's why I believe in her. Shiki, who does not get hurt; and SHIKI, who only has hurt.
... She was always so fragile, like she was about to get hurt. You could not even let out once your true feelings...
There are three prepared pieces.
A person with two bodies that floats with reliance on death.
A non-adaptable existence which takes pleasure from being in contact with death.
A person with an awakened origin who turns to its ego by running away to death.
They all intertwine with one another and wait at the spiral of conflict.
