escaping and she smiled slightly.

"The lighter's out of oil
The pit of my stomach is on fire
If everything is such a lie
Then it really would be better."
Aika sang with all her might, for Ichirou, for everyone she loved.

"I dreamed of wrapping my hands 'round your neck
On an early afternoon, overflowing with light
I dreamed, with eyes full of tears
of cinching your narrow throat."

The beat started to quicken and the notes were shorter, but Aika followed them flawlessly.

"I want to dive into
a nuclear reactor
Surrounded by beautiful blue light
If I dive into
the nuclear reactor
then I can let it all go."

She thought of her family, and all the pain she had been through her whole life, her voice fell flat for a moment but gradually became strong once more.

"On the other side of the balcony
The sound of someone climbing the stairs
The clouding sky falls into the room
through the window panes."

Aika thought of her and Ichirou singing in the choir room, the memory flashed in her mind.

"In the scattering twilight
The sun is red, like teary eyes
Bit by bit, as if dissolving
Little by little this world is dying."

She thought of her mother lying in a hospital bed, breathing her last breaths. Tears started to form in her eyes.

"I dreamed of wrapping my hands 'round your neck
'Neath curtains rustled by a breeze
The words overflow from your
dried up lips, like bubbles."

She thought of all the people who hurt her, all the people who hated her just for being herself. The tears began to slowly fall off her cheeks.

"I want to dive into
a nuclear reactor
So the memories melt away to white
If I dive into the nuclear reactor
Then I'll be able to sleep as I did long ago
That's how I feel."

Aika finished the song, with shaking hands she put the mircophone back on it's stands. She felt herself hit the ground and sob, feeling lost in her own sorrow.
