CHPTER 0 ll Less Is The Wall Of Flowers

Instructions

"But Thus....A Love Too Far To Ask" --- The winter of the Daycare never felt like winter. The heating ventilation wouldn't allow that here. It's been...maybe two years since the doors of the Daycare had been closed forever until further notice. I wasn't scared or anything, it's not like we would age. But the only thing that did die with the time flying by was my expiration tag as a Main. I can't fully explain what I've been thinking these past few months...no, who was I to count and lie? Years. Even with two years have past, I can't take my mind off of the replacement. The thought itself are like rose thorns that threaten to seize my existence from this dusty, old place. Rose thorns are supposed to add beauty into a natural organism, that being the rose. So how come, my rose thorns feel like the exact reason I'm being replaced? ... It's fine though. I have my friends. I have Seren. I have Podzie. Am I being selfish to the point where I start to wish for the inevitable to change itself? It's like asking for time to pause so you can rewind or fast-forward. But reality is cruel and wretched. You can't simply fast-forward a growth of a Weeping Willow just to see the final result. If you let the flower simply bloom at its own pace, it will create a wall of flowers. Something that you certainly cannot replace with the mere byproduct of a few cents and a trip to the factory. I wish that were me. ... Though enough about...this topic. I want to talk about Seren for a bit; if you would mind. Seren is like the star of the show, he is a main after all. But in someways, it's different for them. Whenever I walk near them, or when they offer me some grand speech about 'friendship' or 'bravery', my heart seems to beat a little faster, and I find myself leaning closer to him. Like a flower leaning towards the sun. Though the sun is not meant to be touched, neither claimed, nor held. The sun is an untouchable star. If you get too close to the sun, you will burn if you are too weak and fragile. And thus, a love too far to ask for in this never ending life. The Sun deserves a planet in which the plant will not burn. I am not a planet. I am a flower covered by a glass cover, whose only job is to admire the sun and bask in its light. ... The clock has struck 10 PM. Everyone is asleep, I had gotten up and double checked to make sure the flowers in their rooms were nice and fresh. Good, fresh flowers protected them from the absolute horror I was making in my room. Black, sticky fluid that should never come out of my room for the safety of this facility and for the safety of the others. ... I know how fragile the others are. Coded with a mindset and personality is hard to live up to. Especially since the person who was there to code it for you is now gone. I know everyone's weakness, their vulnerability, their fear and sorrow. Yet I choose to keep them. It is not selfish, I have told myself a million times. It's the only thing saving them from absolute ruin before thy become one of the Forgotten ones. I couldn't save two already, I don't need to see the whole cast down there as well. All I can do is lead them to the wall of flowers, so that they don't ever wilt or lose their color. That's what being a main is about, even if I'm starting to lose my own colors. ... Put on a gentle, worried smile. Put on the flower crown. Put on the scarf. And keep going --- THE END OF CHP 0 (AUTHOR NOTES BELOW) ... Heyyy!! Less here! This is CHAPTER 0 of the series of Awake! This mostly focuses on Ano and Ano's role in the story. You may remix with your own character and their role/impact, though count it as ( CHAPTER 1 ll [Insert Title that is relevant to the character and lore]) I would like to say that at this point in the timeline, everyone forgets Ano is there. Except for maybe Seren, Podzie, and Kishi. Since Ano, usually, as mentioned above in the story, is working on the "Sleeper Fluid" inside his own room! I really hope you liked the start of the series and wish that you continue to enjoy these characters, the story, and the AU! Thank you for the support as always! Less out! --
