    Summary

    A 'poem' based on the duality of the video game Ready or Not, and the way it depicts real life themes without holding back, which I truly respect. I mostly reference the two missions which really sat with me the most - 'Valley of the Dolls', and 'Ends of the Earth'.

    "It's curious.
    How a man can be so vile.
    How a man can celebrate the years his daughter has lived,
    While the daughters of so many others lay buried in the foundations of which he raised his own."

    So. Are you ready?

    Summary

    In the valley of the dolls we sleep, we sleep
    Got a hole inside of me, of me
    Born with a void, hard to destroy
    With love or hope
    Built with a heart, broken from the start
    And now, I die slow

     

    "The void—the emptiness every person in their life at some point...though some people feel it more than others."

    Summary

    She considered asking God to at least get rid of the teeth, if not give her a heart, but there had never been a right time, and in the end, it had morphed into a kind of reminder. Even under her shirt, she could always feel the gaping hole. She had no heart; she knew why, and she knew how she had lost it.
    So, Kiriona Gaia never quite stuck– for how could she, when nothing and no one had filled the hole that was the last act of Gideon Nav?
    (It might have been a noble thought, a poetic one, if she hadn’t laughed at 'filled the hole' and completely sunk the moment.)

    Summary

    Asahi was a disappointment and he knew it now.

    Before, it had been nothing but a vague fear, in the back of his mind, that cruel, snide voice in his ear; whatever you called it, it was there. His father yelled at him to stop acting so anxious. His mother assured him that his father “really did” love him, he just “didn’t know how to show it.” They “supported” him and “loved” him, but he was a disappointment.

    And he knew it now.
