Does staying lonely make us feel better? Of course, it doesn't. But did you feel lonely when you stood by someone else? Sometimes, even when we stand with others, we feel lonely for no reason. Why? Even I don't have the answer to that question. Or am I just the only one who thinks like this?
This is a story about Beyblade. It's about how a blader survived with no hope and no love. He just had a bey. His true friend.
He thought he could do it on his own. He was accepted by the people around him, and they all thought highly of him. To his fellow friends, bladers and classmates, he was seemingly perfect: calm, collected, clever, cute. It was perfect. He was perfect.
To everyone else, that is.
To himself?
Well, that's a whole other story. And because of that, it makes me wonder, why does no one hear him when he says, "Maybe I'm better off dead. If I was, would it finally be enough to shut out all those voices in my head?"
He could never find it in his heart to love who he was. He could never see what everyone else saw. And because of that, he hated life.
This is the story of Shu Kurenai, and how he was almost left for dead as a child.
Why?
Because his parents didn't want him and dumped him by a riverbank. Thankfully, he was found and was then brought up by a loving mother and father.
But in his heart, he knows he will never truly be found.
Shu Kurenai is an idol who hates himself in every single way. So will anybody be there to save him from himself? Or will he be left to rot in the darkness?
Self-love is no longer an option for the infamous blader. All he wanted was to be enough and to be at peace with himself. To be able to end his inner war.
Will anybody save him?
