Metanoia
Interpretations
Chapter 1: Interpretation Of Life And Death
Claude
Sitting alone by the ocean side, listening to the melody of the hitting waves, feeling the soft sand in the bottom, watching the gradient orange sky, observing how the moist cotton clouds and warm evening sun accompany each other, so peaceful...
Claude
Reflecting the blank past on the water and mirror of my heart, feeling the best bliss of solitude. This is much more of a pleasure than I imagined.
Claude
Wondering why I mentioned 'blank' past? Well, because I have no idea about my past. I've lost all my memories and I don't even know why I lost them. The only thing I remember is that my mother passed away by jumping into this ocean.
Claude utters that. All of a sudden he feels a sharp pain moving like a current thought his whole body, and in that moment a tiny bit of blurry clips are played in his brain.
The blurry clips of tiny memories that flash through his mind:
Claude
Mom, bless me with a life of purpose, which shall be your purpose. May I live in your service, may that service be to your satisfaction.
Claude
You see, this is not the first time something like this is happening. It has happened many times where I get to see a piece of my memories while bearing intense pain. Whatever situation I'm in, if I get a little bit emotion about the situation, a memory related to the situation pops up like that. Anyway, this is going to be the last time it happens.
Claude
Because, today I have found out one out of those many jigsaw like pieces of memories of my life. That piece pictures my mother. And along with that, I have also found out what my purpose of living was. I solely lived for my mother.
Claude
Life for me was always meaningless since I had no idea about what I had to do and what my past was like. Now that I have recalled a piece of my past, I again realize that my life life meaningless, because my purpose is no longer there. With my mom, my purpose of living also died.
Claude
So I too will jump into this ocean because I would rather die than to live for no reason without any meaning.
With that he jumped into the depths of the blue.
After some time, he opened his eyes to find a familiar looking sky.
Claude
Once more the same thing happened!
He was back on the same place he was.
Claude
You see, again this is not the first time something like this is happening.
Claude
I tried to die many times as I didn't have a reason to live since I don't remember a single thing about what I am, why I'm here, who all know me, why I forgot everything, nothing at all. But, every time I would return to the same state without dying.
Claude
Then I thought maybe my purpose in life was to search for my past and memories. Because, like I didn't have a reason to live, I didn't have any reason to die either! Sounds so weird right!
Claude
So I started to search for my memories and find one single reason with which I could get rid of life. And I thought I found it today! So I still have to search more.. what a drag.
Yet another tiny clip of memory flashes through his brain:
.................
That's not what an immortal should do.
.................
That's not the way an immortal lives!
.................
You shouldn't have done that...
.................
You've gone too far!
Claude
Wow, is today a jackpot day or something like that?
Claude
I found two pieces of my life!
Claude
The second piece pictures that I'm an immortal.
Claude
Oh, may be that's why I couldn't die all along?
Claude
Whoah! Don't tell me that. Oh man, what a pain!
Interruptions
Chapter 2: Interruptions Of Worthy Fate
Claude
"Tch, whatever. As if I believe in these myths."
He simply uttered and started heading back from the ocean side.
He was going around aimlessly, not knowing what to do.
That's when he encountered another situation.
Rhea
"Hey! Come here, haha" ^v^
Thinking that Claude went near Rhea.
But Rhea was actually calling a few beautiful white birds.
She was feeding them grains.
That's when he notices the beautiful birds.
And as soon as he realizes the situation, his body starts to not cooperate with him once again.
Rhea
"Hey, are you okay?!"
Another memory flashes through his mind:
.................
Brother brother!
.................
Look at those birds! They are so beautiful, right?
Claude
"Uh, sorry" ^v^|||||
Rhea
"It's okay. What happened to you though?"
Claude
"Nah, just a small head spin."
Rhea
"So, what's up with you?"
Claude
"Was just taking a stroll."
Rhea
"Wanna come in and grab a quick bite?"
Claude
"Um yeah sure, but who are you?"
Rhea
"You seriously don't know?" °v°
Rhea
"I'm the new transfer student in your class."
Claude
"Ohh yeah, sorry my bad." ^v^|||
They go in and start having food and talk for some time.
Rhea
"What do your parents do?"
Claude
"I don't know.." ^v^||||||
Claude
How will I know ~^~||
Claude
"What about your parents?" ~v~
Rhea
"They spend their whole time nagging me." •3•
Rhea
>v< "Well, my does nag me someti---"
They were interrupted by,
Harry
"Rhea, I told you to study! What are you doing? If you don't study hard, how will you take over my company?"
Rhea
"Ahaha, dad I'm doing group study!"
But he was also interrupted by,
Again Claude's body started painting badly.
And, a tiny piece of memory passes through his mind:
.................
Claude, my son, how will you fulfill your duty if you can't endure this much?
.................
I want you to be stronger, dear.
But they were yet again interrupted by a scream.
Rhea
"What happened to Mom?"
Intimations
Chapter 3: Intimations Of Heart
The three of them went upstairs to take a look at what happened.
And when they reached there, they saw Liam, Rhea's Mother, lying on her bed and trying to defend herself.
Nothing could be seen above her, what she was trying to defend herself from was invisible.
Harry
"Liam, Liam! What happened?"
Liam
"She... she... she's going to kill me."
Rhea
"Mom, there's no one there...."
Claude
"Who's she, aunt? Who's there?"
Liam
"Lily..! Stop! DON'T!"
Claude
Whaa, it's happening again! Why at this moment? >~<
Claude's brain play another short clip of his memory:
.................
Don't... kill me.. please!
And there went a slaughter.
Rhea
"Are you seriously okay, Claude?"
Claude
What's this? Why can I hear something?
Claude
It's calling my name out.
Claude
Who are you? Why can I hear you calling me?
♡
It's Liam and Lily's judgement day. It time for you to perform your duties.
Claude
What in the world are you talking about?
Claude
Who the heck are you?
♡
I'm you, your instrument.
♡
I am the one who always tells you the right and guides you.
Claude stood there still not knowing what to say because he was shocked at the sight he saw.
He could see a familiar figure, as that in his latest memory flashback, hovering on top of Liam trying to kill her.
The only difference was that, now he could also see that the one trying to kill Liam was DEAD.
Claude
Ahh! Why do I feel a weird force pulling me?!
Claude
It's as if it is trying to pull me into this mess to do something! I feel so desperate to help these two women!
Claude
As if it's my job, I want to help clear this mess in a proper and right way.
Claude
What a drag, is this really me?
