章 53: Wounds Of The Past
Dad...
No, me first.
The Ghost looks at his father.
I'm sorry... For everything. I had no idea what you were even doing, why you were fight, the things you had to endure....
Dad. If I wanted to hold a grudge against you.... I could. However... That's not what I want.
It's not?
No. I wanted you to acknowledge my pain, see my scars that both you and mom left, physically and mentally. All I wanted was to be seen, and you finally have and do see me.
That I do son.
The two hugged as Archie and Kazuto look on from a distance.
What'd you say to him?
I simply nudged him in the right direction. Just as a good parent should.
I may not have kids of my own Archie, so I'll happily take your word for it.
Those two need to see. They had common ground, but his mother was always in the way.
Now that she's gone, things should begin to heal up between them.
Indeed. Only time can tell what will come from them.
As Scott and the Ghost talked, the Ghost told him of the many adventures he'd been on. From the simulation, all the way up to the battle.
You've done some incredible things!
Nothing like our old politics talks.
Yes, nothing like those. You've followed the principles you were taught as a kid very well. I'm proud of you.
Thanks Dad, however, there is something that must stay between us.
What is that?
In order for me to still be standing here... I made a deal.
What kind of deal?
Once I have seen that everyone is safe and happy... I'll die.
Die?! Wait why?
Death made me a deal. I didn't want everyone's last images of me to be on some battlefield. I wanted to die my way. Smiles on everyone's faces, peace in the air, and to see snow, one last time.
Scott had no idea what to say. His child was going to die, despite having lived through everything.
Promise me you won't tell anyone until I'm gone.
I...
Promise me Dad.
I promise son.
Good. Thank you. I just want everyone to be happy.
To be honest, I'm sure they're all just happy knowing you're awake.
HUSH! Don't announce it to Death that they are happy! Besides, I haven't see them all yet.
Do you know where you'll go after you die?
The Ghost stopped to think. He knew his fate was to be reincarnated by the Goddess Mithos, but...
No. I have no idea where I am to go or where I'll end up. I guess I'll let God judge me in the end.
I suppose that's only natural.
The Ghost smiled and looked up at the snow. I'm glad I finally got to hear that voice of yours.
Yeah? Thought you said I didn't have one?
I did, but I was wrong.
The two chuckled and began to walk to rejoin the others as the snowflakes danced to the ground. A peaceful snowfall, nothing could've made the Ghost's life more complete in that moment.
