[drabble] ► never a hero
Disclaimer: All characters and settings portrayed in this work of fiction belong to Kazuki Takahashi and Nihon Ad Systems. I'm merely fooling around with their creations and will put them back with as little wear and tear as possible.
Collection Title: .fragments of a bent horizon
Drabble Title: .never a hero
Character(s): Yuki Judai
Rating: T (PG-13). Rating may go up in later drabbles.
Prompt: 1sentence prompt .01 – hero. Gamma prompt table.
Author's Note: All of these drabbles are set within the confines of the Katabasis universe and are written in order to flesh it out more. In short, Judai's parents never suppressed his memory when he was experiencing the nightmares of Yubel's pain –- and the rest traced its roots back to that point, both successes and disasters. Also, I'm well-aware that the Gamma table set has been over-used as far as Yuki Judai is concerned, but I felt that it was fitting for the sake of highlighting this rather twisted world.
He was no hero.
Yuki Judai knew that much, even when the first stirrings of crippling doubt began to slowly inch across his hard-held certainties, splitting their once unshakable foundations apart.
Heroes were blind and foolish –- and in their naivety believed that they could save everyone at all times. Heroes wanted to be loved and admired and praised for their reckless deeds. Heroes belonged only in the childish comic-books he'd long ago abandoned as meaningless fantasies –- not in this cold, harsh world, where allowing the death of a thousand individuals was the cost for the survival of millions.
