Snap.
All it took was a snap of 'his' fingers to see the world around me shatter.
Cracks appeared in the black void, and the pieces slowly fell to the ground, revealing a white background behind them. It was like broken glass.
Gazing toward the breaking void, I turned to focus my attention on the other me that was standing not so far from where I was.
In particular, my gaze fell toward the chains that were binding his body. A complicated look flashed across my eyes.
'What do I do now?'
I found myself questioning myself.
With everything that I saw…I…really found it hard. Hard to find the drive to move forward.
Everything just felt so fake to me at the moment. As if everything that I knew before had now become something that was unfamiliar.
Be it the people that I knew, or reality itself.
'Wha..t do I do?'
…I really didn't know.
Cra..cracks.
Behind me, a muffled sound echoed. It was reminiscent of the sound of sand rubbing against a hard surface.
Without needing to look, I knew that it was the white orb cracking behind me.
Crack. Crack.
Accompanying the cracking sound, I felt an unfamiliar energy enter every fiber of my body. It was slowly seeping into my body, making my muscles tremble.
Feeling the power that was entering my body, my emotions numbed.
How could they not...
It felt as if a little part of me was fading with each crack in the core.
'...I don't think have long.'
With every crack, I could feel my existence start to disappear. No, rather, I felt it merge with something else.
It was most likely the other part of me.
I wasn't exactly sure about how long it would take, but I had a feeling that it wouldn't take more than a couple of years.
By then, would the current me still exist?
I wasn't sure.
'..I..I guess I've lived my purpose.'
I couldn't say that my life was the most fulfilling, but I was definitely happy with what I had. Added all together, I only existed for four years.
'Ha..ha..four years.'
The thought suddenly made me laugh.
It hurt.
The laugh hurt.
Grasping onto my chest, I raised my head and stared at the cracking void.
The cracks fell, and my eyes closed.
