All this talk...about murders and redemption.

Well I've got a reality check...no matter what any person, government, or deity might say...there are no pardons. There is no redeeming a bloodied hand. Once someone has killed, there's no turning back to innocence. It's impossible. Once someone has...murdered...they will never have a clean soul again.

That burden will be carried with them to the end of their days...and for some of them, that end will never come...

What of forgiveness, though?

I can't argue with some of that.

Still, it's your opinion. Ain't true because you say it is.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Whatever these things are...they're just said to give a measure of superficial peace in life while it lasts. But some of us don't have that luxury.

Murderers tend not to care much over 'clean' souls.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Mortality can do that to people.

[kan_chyan]

Killing and committing murder are two different things.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

You're right. The difference is in the situation.

Stop being a sissy.

Sod off. I'm not in the mood for your silliness.

[turtletea.livejournal.com]

... N-No. You're not going to get anywhere thinking like that.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

I have no intention of going anywhere. This is merely how things are.

Even if they didn't know it was wrong? Even if they didn't know what they were doing, if they were brainwashed... they're just tainted souls, that's it?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

You can't undo the life that was taken. You killed them and they will never come back. They will never see another day, speak another word, hear another song, or think another thought.

"Thou shalt not murder."

I say you're doomed.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

The judgement on my soul was already cast the moment I took this burden anyways...

[kyur4-th-itch.livejournal.com]

But... what if you didn't do it? What if it wasn't even you! Someone's just blaming you?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

That's hardly the same then, now isn't it?

[noahofdreams.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...a newcomer.

[ilpresto.livejournal.com]

Tir... You okay?

That's a dumb question, isn't it.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...Kazuki...

[mistah-master.livejournal.com]

And if they don't feel guilt?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Then it doesn't matter.

[x-justpeachy.livejournal.com]

.. Tir-san?

What happened..?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

Something...a long time ago.

[fearsnoevil.livejournal.com]

And what if they deserved it? If they were to dangerous to be left alive?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

It doesn't matter.

[song-princess.livejournal.com]

.....

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...I'm sorry.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

What if it's a different kind of burden?

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...

[99cts-plustax.livejournal.com]

Finally, someone who gets it. Geez.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

...Miss Yuuko.

[feumesparents.livejournal.com]

I disagree.

[tenkai-soul.livejournal.com]

As do many. That does not make reality any less cruel.
