presumablyalone: (Seto | By the blue moon)
[Video]

[When the video turns on, it shows Seto sitting on the couch in his apartment, surrounded by dirty, old looking items.  Most of them are books and others could just be considered junk; shoes, an empty glass milk and soda bottle, letters,  a deflated balloon, a tin can, etc.  

But the one in his hand some may recognize to be a cellphone, an old model, but a cellphone nonetheless.  It's also pretty old looking, dirt practically staining it brown, replacing the red color it used to be, and some of the buttons are even missing on it.  And even though Seto doesn't know how to work a phone of all things, he knows that pressing the button under this thumb will play something.

And so he presses down on it, lighting up the screen though since it's cracked, it shows a bunch of different colors to show it's ruined.  Though just a second after it lights up, a girl's voice comes from it:]


"Oops, it's already recording!  Okay um....I'm on my way out to say goodbye to this world.  I might not make it very far, but even if I only make it one step, so long as time permits me, I want to see the world with my own two eyes.  I want to leave proof here that I existed in the world.  So, if there's anybody listening to this...please, remember me.  Remember that I was alive.

Dang that was pretty gloomy...I should've left it on a more positive note.  Ack!  I'm almost out of t--
" [And there the recording on the phone abruptly ends.  Giving the phone a small squeeze, Seto stares at it sadly]

....No matter how many times I listen and read these memories...No matter how long their faces are engraved in my head...I just don't get it!! [His eyes water up, but more in frustration than anything.  Realizing his grip on the phone, he puts it down with the other items] How do you figure out how someone died....when they didn't even know what was going on themselves?

They saw it coming but...they didn't even know what it was... [This time he picks up a wrinkled, sepia photograph, staring at it as tears well up in his eyes before reaching over to shut the journal]

[I hurt...I tire...and I collapse.

When I'm staring into the darkness...I find myself somehow entranced by it.

Suddenly I hear laughter.  Fearless, mean...and yet kind....it calls to me.

The days we spent together are long gone, drifting away like clouds in the breeze.  Even though memories are often fleeting.

All I need to do is close my eyes and your face appears...clear, and forever young.

 
Seto sits quietly in the dull, doll filled room, his forehead resting on his knees as his shoulders give a small shake every now and then.  His hands run through his hair but stayed atop his head, his red-brown hair messily entwining around his fingers.  The flashlight that lays on the other side of the room shines on the young boy, making the silver skull ring on his finger sparkle.  In front of him is a crow's feather, just like it had appeared once before back in his world to signify that his best friend...is gone.  This place has taken it upon itself to snatch him away while reminding him where he died.  

The journal lies next to him, open and only recording the sniffles that come from Seto every now and then.  He mumbles quietly before shutting it]
