Unfulfilled Hopes “Lucrezia?” “He looks so… lonely. Vulnerable.” “It is given to us to watch and despair. What might have been had we turned someone’s frowns and sorrow to a smile.” The shade scowled, refusing to look at the essence of the man. He always had something profound to say. Did he never tire of making proclamations? The man was too accepting of his death. “If watching them disturbs you so much, perhaps you should move on, my dear.” “No!” She watched as he moved to stand over the rocking chair, watching the pale glory of him. He almost rested a hand on the pale head of her son, almost touched the man. “I did not intend suicide. It was not my intention to deliberately throw my life away.” “Then why the hell did you take part in that battle? You had no place there! You should have been directing the battle from the command base, not sticking your aristocratic nose in the worst mess…” she shuddered. “I’m sorry. I had no cause to bite at you. It’s not you I’m angry with.” “No? Who then?” “Myself. I am furious with myself for wasting the time I had with him. I sit here and watch and count the times we argued, the times we loved, the times we sat on the balcony and watched the sunset. I sit here and scream at myself for not being strong enough to stay with him. We had such hope for the future.” “We all have unfulfilled hopes and spend time berating ourselves. It is the human condition to look back and say ‘What If’.” “You are entirely too calm, Treize Kushrenada. You always were and I respected you for that.” “I was never calm when it came to Milliardo. He brought out the fire in me. I had hope for a future with him. Had I not died you would not have had your chance with him.” “I suppose I should thank you for dying, for giving me the opportunity. I fell in love the day I first saw him and I was determined to win him. He was brilliant, honourable, driven. He never saw me as more than a friend. I thought he was as dense as a brick. I never knew about your relationship. I thought you were friends.” “We were, Lucrezia. It is not a good idea to mix sex with the chain of command. While he was with Oz there could be nothing more than friendship between us.” “He always broods when he is alone.” “Little storm cloud.” Treize murmured. “He hit me the first time I called him that.” “Never!” Lucrezia looked shocked. “There was such fire in him and I had hope for the future. If he could survive the fury within Sanc, then I could survive my own trials and bring about something better.” “We both failed.” “No. We did not fail. The world is not yet done with him and we must have patience.”
