There is a man, standing on top of a very tall building. Perhaps it's strange simply because he's there or maybe because he's as still as a statue in the moments before dawn. Kei stood there facing the sky as the sun started to peek over the horizon. Normally this would be the time when he turned away to find shelter on such a cloudless down but not this day. Today he will see the sun rise, feel the warmth on his skin without the worry of bursting into flames or the pain as his skin burned under the rays.
How long has it been since he could do that? Decades, at least. He also doesn't have to worry about taking a life to sustain his own in this place. Isn't tormented by the very idea of it. The truth of death here was known to him but this sort of immortality was better than the one he had in Mallepa. Here Kei could be just like everyone else and it started with this.
With enjoying something he hasn't been able to do. A cigarette rested casually in his fingers, halfway done. When Kei sensed the presence of someone near him, his head tilted but he couldn't tear his eyes away from the view. There was a faint smile carved into his features almost as if he hadn't done it recently, or a lot in general. The sky started to turn orange as the orb started to emerge fully. "Beautiful, isn't it?"
