Incomplete
Ayano POV:
Something has always been wrong with me... I've known what it was...
For as long as I can remember, I've always felt... empty. Incomplete. Like a part of me has always been missing. I've been born with this rare condition that prevented me from feeling anything, and this hollow feeling I had for a long time has always dominated my life. I've never been able to feel anything else, other than this emptiness. My world has always been cold, dark, and silent.
My mother was exactly like me when she was a child, until she was my age. But when she met my father, everything changed for her. He brought warmth, color, and life into her world. He made her feel... complete. She told me that one day, I would meet someone special, just like she did. Someone who would be able to cure me, fix me, and save me.
For my entire life, I've been waiting for that day to come, as I've been thinking of the moment when I would meet the person who would complete me and change my whole life. Even though growing up wasn't easy, this was the only thing I've been looking forward to for so long. It was the only reason to live.
Then one day, when I enrolled to Akademi High School, I was going to find someone who would cure me. Someone would make me feel normal, someone who would make me feel complete. Just like a normal person.
During my first year of high school, I've been thinking about when I would meet that special person I needed. I've been talking to a couple of students I've known, yet I still never knew when I would find them. Until I met... him.
He was someone I've never known that I would actually be close with, someone who I've rarely spoken to. But when we met, something changed inside of me. It felt like I opened my eyes for the first time, as both of us have been interacting with each other ever since.
Because of him, I started to feel warm, started to feel complete, and alive.
