As to your second question though.. that's a pretty heavy kind of thing to ask, right?

[ It's why she's quiet for a moment, thinking about it as she stares up towards the sky. It's weird, thinking about how many answers she could have had before. To be anything but her. To be happy, live a normal life, to be with her family, to be someone who could prevent her family from dying.

.. Did she really leave that all behind? Because when she thinks about it now, it's like she can't even feel the heavy weight anymore. ]

If I could be reborn.. I'd like to just be reborn as me. I can't deny that my life has been pretty crappy, and there's been plenty of times where I wished it would just end for weeks on end, but.. if it's the only path to get to this point where I am now, then I wouldn't want to trade it in for anyone else. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to apologize for it to my parents in the afterlife since I never did turn out like some cute girl the way I was supposed to, but.. this is me. A gloomy and slightly boring girl, but I'm happy.

.. Pretty corny, isn't it?
