A Single Tear

"Why aren't you crying?"

"I've forgotten how to make the tears come."

"Forgotten?"

"Yes. And even if I hadn't, I wouldn't want them to dirty me. Though I'm already filthy."

"You want revenge?"

"Yes."

"You won't regret it?"

"No."

"Do you hate your parents?"

"Are they even worthy of that?"

"You hold them in such contempt?"

"Humans are nothing but highly intelligent beasts. Why should I care about creatures even more beastly than beasts?"

"Do you like being held in those arms?"

"Yes."

"If you had the choice, would you choose those arms or revenge?"

"Revenge."

"Why?"

"Because it's my mission."

"Your phone has no ringtone?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because my world is only black and white. No color will ever enter it."

"Then what about Yin Liuer?"

"She's the image I see through rose-colored glasses."

"Do you hate family bonds?"

"Yes."

"Because they abandoned you?"

"No."

"Then why?"

"I hate them for bringing me into this world. But they also taught me revenge, and I'll use it to repay them for giving birth to me."
