aika "a" seo-yeon
everything had been going so well. only moments ago, aika had felt like he was on top of the world. he’d witnessed stars - “a whole other world right above you,†as he’d read from the papers. he’d had rui, his best friend holding his hands, thumb leaving featherlight touches over the back of his hand, giving him pleasant chills. this was a feeling he’d never experienced before. he’d read about it, before-- but explaining it was a whole other level of difficult.
before he could even try to explain his ‘soulmates’ theory, though, everything had crumbled right in front of him. it had been replaced by fear, and worry- because they were going to get caught if aika didn’t do anything fast. and it was all his fault. that was all he could think as they tore through the forestry, basically fighting for survival as they ran along. [b]“it’s okay, it’s okay!†he tried to assure rui as they ran, glancing back at his friend only to see tears welling in his friend’s eyes and- and those tears were all his fault. “don’t look back. just run!†and that was all that he could hope for.
the brother was right on their heels, but it seemed like if they ran for just a while longer, they’d be able to outrun him. there was a chance that they could get out of this unscathed. he felt his heart soaring at the thought-- only for it to quickly plummet once the grip on rui’s hand had slipped, scrambling to a stop at the sudden realization. rui had fallen. he had spun around to try and save him, but before he could even take another step towards the other, the harsh slam of a boot on his friend’s back made him flinch. hearing his name cried out by rui- it hurt more than he’d be willing to admit.
“get off of him!†he’d started to barge his way closer to the brother, only to suddenly see someone appear from the shadows. he barely had that long to react before the shadow-man’s fist collided with his face. shit. his arms were harshly grabbed and put behind his back, struggling against the grip as the man lead him closer to where the brother and rui were. “gotcha.â€Â
“take it easy on him. they’re just kids; they probably don’t know any better than this.†someone was arguing their case? he could hear the two squabbling. the world just seemed to be collapsing around him, and he found it hard to focus on what the pair was saying. ....they knew what they were doing! … they might’ve known what they were doing, but these kids don’t deserve to get killed! … don’t deserve it? who are you to say who deserves to live and who dies?.... the words made little to no sense to him. he just knew that there was nothing he could say to make it better.
he struggled against the brother’s grip, only for a harsh kick in the back of the knees to send him to the ground, a grunt in agony as he did so. then one word in particular rang through the mumbled words. expel. what did expel mean? he saw them both finally reach an agreement, giving a grim nod of their heads before they finally directed their attention to the two boys on the ground.
“we don’t accept rule-breakers in our society. you’re lucky we’re letting you keep your lives.†something dangerous flashed in their eyes, then, as they ominously added, “but if i were in your shoes, i’d be wishing i were dead. you two are expelled from the society. we don’t need scum like you rotting our people.†expelled.
the same brother from before was pulling him harshly back up, dragging him further away from the city-- towards the wall. while previously he’d been confused, suddenly everything made sense. they were getting thrown out of the wall? no. no this couldn’t be happening. “wait! he didn’t do anything! let him go! i-i forced him to come here! take me, just- let him go! please! i’m sorry!â€Â
all the words seemed to be of no use, though, as they simply trudged forward, to a place aika had never been before. he’d never gotten to be so close to the wall- and, suddenly, he wished he could run as far away from it as possible. they scanned the wall with some kind of card, a part of it opening just enough. he struggled, writhed against his captors. “maybe this’ll teach you,†he was told, before he was roughly shoved -- and was sent outside of the wall.
turning around, he watched the faces as they disappeared behind the wall. “no, no, no.†he scrambled to the wall, the small opening- but by then, all he did was run into the closer wall. his hands rested on the structure, taking a deep shaky breath. “let us in!†he yelled, going up to the wall and slamming his forearms against it. “let us in!†nothing.
out of disbelief, weighed down by absolute shock, he fell to his knees. his head rested against the wall, and there he stayed. he could feel the tears pricking his eyes, but he didn’t want to acknowledge them. he didn’t want to acknowledge them, because it’d only bring to light how badly he’d screwed up. “i’m sorry, rui. i’m so sorry.†he turned his teary eyed gaze over to the other, searching his gaze. for forgiveness. something, anything.
“it’s all my fault, isn’t it?â€Â
