VOID: PART ONE

PART: 14

Xiexie: Yeah!

Ayuko: im fine... did my dad worry you? (looks over at him)

Hiro: I hope I did (He grins)

Xiexie: Bite me

Yu: Your dad sucks but nevermind him, guess whos here

Xiexie: Yeah... guess whos here for you

Ayuko: Who?

Xiexie and Yu: Sora!

Ayuko: (Blushes)

Hiro: Have fun... (He walks out of the room)

Sora: Finally giving her over to me?

Hiro: (He pulls a pack out of his pocket and and holds a fag with his lips.) Go for it, I guess. (He flicks the lighter and blows smoke in Sora's face before walking off.)

Sora: Even if I treat her how Mino did you?

Hiro: I would never let anyone treat her like that, I don't care if she isn't my blood, she's still my daughter and I wish I could give her the world, but that's harder than it looks when your stuck between realities.

Sora: If you have so much passion for protecting your daughter then start acting like it! How will she know you care if you don't show it...it really is sad that you would just let your daughter go like that...(laughs) You're no better than Mino, Hiro

Hiro: I can't control what she does and I know that I was nothing better than Mino, I would try and change everything, but now it's too late. She'll do what she wishes and she'll forget about the rest because in ten years... (He takes a long drag) I'll mean nothing, but a faded memory deep in your mind. I wouldn't let her go, but also don't have much of a choice and if I do... I guess I lost it. I hope something I say will get to you one day,but don't worry you'll forget my stories and I'll forget you.

Sora: Well you clearly know nothing and "while your here make yourself something" and you can control her just as easily as I can, so stop drowning in your pity party and do something for once!

Hiro: What am I supposed to do now, go back to the beginning, find the missing pieces? I put her through a lot more than she should have had to endure. I shouldn't have brought her through hell, but I guess I did. If you really love her, don't let her go, but not in the way Mino did because she actually seems to love you back.

Sora: You act like you can't restart with her...the clock always resets itself. If you weren't a good dad today then be a good one tomorrow because right now she needs someone in her life and I can't be that for her...right now I don't love her...but you do, so you don't let go

Hiro: (He put out the rest of the fag on his wrist and tossed it in the garbage.) I-I don't know what to say, I can only hope you're a good kid and I can only hope she'll be okay or that that stupid pill will kick in before someone else tries to try her for her own life. I don't want to let go, but I can't let go of much. Why would she need me anymore, I mean Hiroki is dead and I was never the happy-go-lucky one...

Sora: See that's your problem Hiro! You need to love yourself before you love others, that's why you are so negative to yourself regarding these situations!

Hiro: (He felt his chest cave in)

Sora: (Shakes his head and gets up off the bench) if that doesn't get you to wake up, Hiro then I don't know what else will...

Hiro: (He twitches) Wake up?

Sora: Yes Hiro, wake up you've been dead too long

Hiro: I'm way too fucked up to turn back like this, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to try because if I'm gone for too long, I'll lose my only chance. You can't rewrite the stories that walls keep trapped... (He walks away quickly.)
