The burden of the world rests on the shoulders of one person. But he didn;t want to be a hero. He just wanted to be himself, to be selfish, to be self-centred, not to be noble, self-sacrificing. Yet he holds the fate of the world in his hands. He is just 14. What would you do?
Would he be hated if he turned his back to the world, just as it had done so years ago to him? Now this world had a use for him, and they had crudely summoned him to do its bidding.
What would you do? Be the hero, sacrifice yourself to save the world that had forsaken you, left you to rot in the gutter, or strike back at the society that stinks of decadence and corruption, the scourge of the Earth on its last legs of its existance, yet are now trying desperately to claw its way back. What would you do?
What if you had the power to save the world? Would you save it? Would you see the inherent good in humanity, or see the pure and obvious darkness of our lost souls?
Choose.
