"Come back here!" Duo screamed at the departing soldiers as he gave chase, his thermal scythe arcing down and unleashing his vengeance upon the enemy that had killed his friends, one by one, until on he and them remained.
Beyond the battlefield, Duo had no inkling of what remained.
Or what didn't.
With the last of the enemy now dead at the feet of Shinigami, Duo radioed for assistance.
Static.
He tried another frequency. Again nothing. Every frequency was deathly quiet.
He landed in the city and no one came, no children ran pointing at his Shinigami. The people were there, but they were all unmoving. Every single one of them were. As he wandered amidst the carnage, tears ran down his face. There were a lot of them, he noticed.
//That's okay.// he told himself. //These tears are being shed for all of humanity.//
[Verse 1:
There walked a lonely man.
Silent. Mute. The only man.
Not knowing how, not knowing why was he the sole survivor.
Why should he be alive
Breathing still while other's died
And the only question: why was he the sole survivor?
Chorus:
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior cried into the night.
Sole survivor, cursed with second sight
Haunted savior cried into the night.]
