The world is cruel to all yet why do I still feel so cheated. Enough touka you think too much you don't have say anything your eyes explains it all This world truly is cruel. The dirt from the slums stains there clothing the foul stench cruel and hard even with his face covered touka could feel it how horrible it was but rei was uncovered he walked pure like he had already since how cruel the world could truly be. Beggers,the homeless, orphans and sick all tattered and lost from all hope they all lay wasted on the ground. A child grabbed hold of touka pleading and begging please help my brother he is dying,he's hungry please help please she held onto touka with her dear life touka look upon the pleading child his face tainted with dispair and felt a heavy weight press against his chest ,unsure what to do. Rei gripped the child's arm with a look of absolute gravity. He removed her from Touka's feet with a firm yet careful touch. To the child, Rei seemed imposing and unnatural; his tall, dark silhouette exuded an ominous aura as his blue eyes pierced through her. She trembled in his presence, overcome with terror, yet her spirit remained resilient. Recalling her purpose, she steeled her resolve and dared to meet his gaze. Rei smiled and reached into his bag. Though the girl flinched in anticipation of a blow, Rei instead produced a loaf of bread and a bottle of water. He handed them to her and gently patted her head. Touka watched his retreating figure, a strange silence hanging between them. After a few steps, he paused and looked back at her, his expression unreadable. "Touka," he asked quietly, " have you ever begged for food before? Just a small, stale scrap, simply to see the next sunrise?" you clam the world has been cruel to you so tell me touka have you ever begged, pleaded for scraps,to lick other peoples shoes as they look down on you,fight for just a piece. NO! You've lived in delusions for all your life believing only you have been cheated by the world,look around you and tell me what you see this is no fairy tale,this is real life. So do you still believe only you suffered?This world is cruel to all there is no exception,if you believe you are different or special just because the world the hard to you,I'll advice you now you are no different from the rest of us. Touka face showed a look of dis pare,he looked like an idiot,all his life he had believed he had it worst,o how the cruel truth slaps him in the face, touka looks around a lifeless body rotting away, he witnessed humans fall into cannibalism ,his eyes grew heavy and things started to look blurry,but they both kept walking forward,touka's head down he did not have the heart to witness all that was happening around him. Rei stopped we're here he said,touka raised his head and saw countless lights flashing behind rei as he faced him. I was hard on you before but I had to show you the truth or you would have been living in a delusion forever,yes the world is beautiful,its nice and joyful but the world too is also really ugly,I have shown you how ugly the world can get,and I will feed your delusions and show you how beautiful the world can also be, rei smiled don't cry now. Rei walked towards the light,smiling as it consumed him, touka reached out towards the light but hesitated,he looked back towards the slum,so he copied the girl and hardened his will and walk into the light. Beautiful. Welcome touka! Welcome to the beautiful world, ahhh the view magestical it was Touka embraced it all and for the first time touka cried.
