Chapter five: Sickness

Sickness…also known as a weakness of the human immune system, a flaw in which you catch sickness. Yep, that's right, I've got a cold. Something like it, anyways. I've got a headache, my throat is burning with soreness, my nose is stuffy and I feel like I've been beaten all over. So please don't mind my voice.

It's odd, because there are so many sicknesses in the world. I mean…for all you know, there could be a sickness hiding somewhere deeply, deeply in the rainforests of Brazil that could easily obliterate mankind. I don't only have sickness of the weak-little-immune-system type, but sickness of the mind and body.

Fatigue. I'm tired. No, you can stay. I don't want to take a nap. My mind is constantly being bothered by questions that it conceives, and it's really getting on my nerves. Thoughts of what could have been invade my mind, giving me an inability to sleep at night. I'm always thinking about the past, and it hurts like a dagger in the heart.

My seishi…they died for me…

Not only for their own selfish needs did they waste away, but for mine, too. Was it a weakness-a sickness, as I would like to call it-of their character? I know that they never existed. Suppose they did? Oh? Maybe you're right…that could be very well what's making me so tired…I mean, it could be guilt. But for now I think that I'll just assume it's this damned cold.
