Short summary: Tasuku watches Ango as Ango watches the father and daughter combo. He hopes one day that Ango...
“What flowers are these?”
“Marigolds.”
“They’re so pretty. Do you think Mommy will want some?”
“I’m sure she’ll think they’re lovely.”
Tasuku watches Ango as Ango watches the father and daughter who are visiting their tree today. It’s not unusual to get visitors to their tree especially on warm, sunny days. People of all ages visit, from babies to the elderly, although it is a bit of a trek. But with the lands as safe and peaceful, people are out here living life. While Ango is…always looking upon father and child combinations with a complicated expression.
“Ango…” Tasuku murmurs, even though he knows Ango won’t turn to look his way. It’s best to let Ango sit in his grief for a bit while Tasuku can serve as “support”. For it seems Ango has always been drawn to sadness, ever since…
Tasuku may never completely understand this part of Ango, the part that is so afraid to be happy. Then again, Tasuku has never suffered the same loss, and not caused it with his own hands. To have to kill his own child and lose his wife as well to the tragedy… Fatherhood wasn’t a thought that had crossed his mind during his 20 years of human life. The closest he got was his hope of marrying for love and having a partner to dote on a child with, like his parents had done.
And it’s not that he doesn’t love Ango, but… It’s obviously different. They have eternity but it is rather directionless, neither pushing nor pulling them in any direction. Instead they only observe…
And Tasuku can only pray… That one day Ango will truly forgive himself. That one day Ango will truly face the future. That one day Ango will truly feel happiness without reservations.
That one day Ango will truly find peace.
