Purity Online - The World For The Fallens
[Season 2] Chapter 43: With His Own Hands
"Do you have any evidence?"
"I wouldn't say that if I didn't have proof, you idiot." Otomura.
"Of course ... I .. have the proof ...."
"Then explain to me why I was wrong" Ryugai said. His eyes began to look serious.
Otomura takes a breath, preparing to speak for a considerable period of time. The look in his eyes seemed as serious as the look in his partner's eyes.
"You say living in the darkness of truth is better than living in the light of lies. But .., reality is not always shrouded in darkness. Remember, there are always two sides to life. Dark and light. Black and white. Lies too. Not everything is melenakan, some are enveloped by darkness. You can't get rid of light or darkness. You have to accept both as part of reality and as well as a lie."
"Then why is my reality always shrouded in darkness?" ask Ryugai. "If your words are true, then my thread of fate should not be this jet-black. But the truth is, all I have met in my life is darkness. There is no light at all."
"Stupid. Have your eyes been blinded by the darkness so you can't see the light?!" otomura. "If your life is indeed one hundred percent filled with darkness, we should not be able to meet again!! You also won't get a chance to take part in the Purity Online beta test. You will never feel happiness. You won't be able to reunite with Yuukaru and marry him either. No matter how small and dim a light, it is still a light. The light will not turn into darkness."
"Ryugai, don't let the darkness swallow you up!! Don't forget that you are Ryugai who tread the path of light. Ryugai that turns darkness into light!! A tree is responsible for converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. If he is completely covered with carbon dioxide, then the story of his life is over!! Not everything that is dark is reality and not everything that is light is a lie!! Like I said, hope is not a lie. This surrender to destiny and unwillingness to change things is also not the truth!!"
"So, do you think, fighting for something uncertain is not a futile act?" ask Ryugai. "Do you have any proof that hope isn't a lie?"
"Who do you think helped you so you could get to this point?!" Othomura cried out once more. "Isn't it hope that brings us to Happy Ending, even if it's just a temporary ending?! Hope for the miracle of destiny .. that makes you, me, and Yuukaru meet again!!"
"Hope for a miracle, huh?" Ryugai. "Indeed, it used to be hope that it could work well. But, that's an old story. Do you have any guarantee that a miracle will help us again?"
"No. I have no guarantees" Yamamura said as he turned his head to the clear blue sky. "But .., if the hope of miracles doesn't work, then we still have another hope."
"What do you mean?"
"Hope for Yamamura. You have to believe that he will be able to return to the real world safely. He's your son, you know. I'm sure he'll be able to get through all the obstacles of his destiny well, just like you used to. I'm also sure he inherited your fire spirit and genius. He'll be out of that virtual world without anyone's help, even without the help of a miracle."
"I'm sure .. he can do it .. with his own hands ...."
"You should trust him too. Return to hope, and return to the former Ryugai. This isn't you. Because the real Ryugai .. is Ryugai who keeps fighting despite being in the dark."
Suddenly, a flash from the past flashed through Ryugai's mind. A scene that occurred while he was still undergoing the Purity Online beta test, precisely at the event of Shiro's departure. The words of his old friend, Genbu Mikazaki, ringed in his head.
"Aren't you the one who said to me .. 'don't lie to yourself and don't wear a mask to cover yourself?'"
"Available by dataset ... twice? It's really embarrassing, Ryugai." The disheveled blue-haired man nodded. He's fingered his forehead. Her lips revealed a wry smile.
"You're right ...." Ryugai's mouth that had been clenched for a while finally began to utter words. "This is not the real me."
"I am constantly talking about reality, but it is in fact I myself who escaped reality by wearing a mask to cover my identity, so that I no longer need to fight. I doubted destiny, I doubted God, I even doubted my own son's ability."
"But not anymore. I'm gonna take that mask off and swim out of this sea of darkness."
"That's great, Ryugai." Otomura smiled happily. "Keep living well as you really are. You haven't been to work in a few days, have you? Go back to work. Don't put all the workload on your assistant."
"Yes ...." Ryugai stood up. A smile is etched on his face for the first time since Yamamura is trapped inside the world of Neironius Online. He stood up and stretched his body while looking up at the sky.
"I'm going to be the real me again."
"Become Yuzumoto Ryugai ..., the warrior who turns darkness into light."
