Author's Note: Blood, angst, implied character death... Huge spoilers for the end of Gluhen!
Aya endured life after Weiss as penance. The child gave him what he'd hungered for: the purity of a sharp blade, able to reveal truth and end suffering.
The wound burned, purging sin; blood flowed, repaying debt. He walked on, as if he might encounter lost friends, wreathed in smiles and flowers.
Aya crumpled against a mailbox. Letters... What would he write to Omi (never Mamoru), and Ken, alone now, and Yohji, without memory or stain? They'd mattered; they'd made him feel alive; he missed them. In his last moments of consciousness, he realized he loved them.
And Aya smiled.

Author's Note: Angst and more angst; major spoiler for the end of Gluhen!
He went to work, came home, ate dinner, made love to his wife, slept. On weekends he puttered about, doing husbandly chores.
He loved being among the rose bushes. A particular red teased his mind and made his heart swell. He dried the petals, but something kept him from putting them among the sheets his wife had chosen.
The roses were most beautiful when drops of water graced the petals, like shimmering jewels. Sometimes he would feel an answer rolling down his cheeks, and a tightness in his throat that made it hard to breathe.
He never told his wife.
