OH I JUST REMEMBERED THE LAST TALES STORY RELEASED EARLIER... "a question of death" aaaa time to ramble in tags ><

#A QUESTION OF LIFE #🌙.rambles #[ ffxiv. ] #PLEASE. FROM TO DEATH T_T #'It was not the cold that had roused him from his slumber. We're old friends now.' GOD #'...the weak morning light revealed the stark outline of his reality.' #oh. oh wow. 'the vision endured / implacable / without regard for the dreamers.' #'to the shrewdest of minds and the purest of hearts / fate offered no justice nor justification'. #'Yet you would ask me why.' wait this next bit is hurting me #'that injury should have healed. yet it itched at him now─a scab that bled and bled / threatening to hollow him out from within.' DAMN. #'Unforgiving grey. Destruction and loss.' #'All silent as the grave / as if even beasts preferred not to pick through these bones of an empire so early in the morn.' #i love the writing so much;; 'he drew closer / mindful of the potential for further collapse. 'I remember this..'' #FUCKKK I'M GOING A BIT INSANE RIGHT NOW. A MENTION OF SOLUS. I'M EMOTIONAL?? #'though still dignified in his old age / the gaze which he fixed upon the reader was more melancholic than proud... #never saw the man smile once.' that's basically emet-selch then right?;; he smiled with us though. im so sad #And then there was the young man with a faraway look in his eyes and an air of detachment... #'Would you be 'happier' had I a 'good reason'?' THIS MAN. ZENOS #'The streets were still and silent / his crunching footsteps the only sound.' FOOTFALLS #'Though the sentiment rang hollow / he silently encouraged the deceased to find peace with his ancestors and watch over his kin.' #'If the twins spoke true / then what meaning was there in any of it? What was life / if not another pointless parade?' oh. #GODDAMN 'Let this be my final gift to you. In death / my love." #i can't even say anything anymore. there's smth so painful n beautiful abt the solemnity of death #death life. possibilities potential. 'to grant them what they need to go on...' - or so the poet said #keys. family. acceptance. giving up. failure. loss without goodbyes #'Did you leave your lives / and your love / to me?' that's so raw. #'The dead do not answer / yet the wound within ceases its bleeding for a time.' it's so well phrased i'm in pain #the italicization ;; 'If that is our truth...' #'Then let it be our meaning. Let it be the chain which binds us through generations. Live on in me / as I would have in you.' #truth and meaning. life goes on. continues
