A prayer for Reuniting
Who: Suzaku Kururugi and Hibiki Shikyoin
Where: A busy shopping street on the Near Shore
When: 14th April
What: Prayer 40. A prayer for reuniting.
Warnings: Suzaku got a memory so there might be themes of violence and physical punishment in his introspection.
Suzaku had woken that morning with more memories than had been there before. Like the last ones they had hit him like punch, more information about his life before that he struggled to fit into the tiny bit of context he had had before.
He had a good life here, death he supposed. Saber was a kind god and Suzaku felt proud to be able to serve him. He had people who he considered friends. More who he was on good terms with. The battles they fought were to protect humans, destroy ayakashi.
Even the cultists, though Suzaku felt bad about taking any human life he knew the cultists were trying to harm the heavens. And he had avoided killing, even in the compound.
He knew he disliked killing, he knew that he felt peace was better. Even the couple of arguments he had had with people here had not been serious.
How to fit that with a memory of being paraded bound through the streets. A person so hated. A traitor. A murderer.
Luckily Suzaku works for Ebisu and so he is very busy, less time to think. But that afternoon he is not working and so he goes down to the Near Shore.
He should speak to Saber but he doesn't want to bother his god. Shouldn't bother him. Suzaku might have been innocent of the murder of a prince, Zero had confessed after all but he had still been a person who people could easily believe would commit treason, would murder a prince.
They must have had their reasons and Suzaku doesn't have the memories to know what other atrocities he might have committed. He'd like to believe he is a good person, a person who helps others but ever memory he regains contradicts that.
The streets are crowded and no one notices him. That's the reason Suzaku came down to the Near Shore. To be invisible, unnoticed. No eyes on him.
Crying broke him out of his thoughts. Not wailing, just soft sobbing, barely audible over the crowd. He looked around and saw a little boy, face wet with tears. Was he lost. Suzaku stepped towards him but the child was already approaching someone. He paused, because if this person could help they would be in a better place to do so than Suzaku.
But then he got a better look at the figure whose coattails the child was tugging at. Was that...
