The Master's Letters

Xth of X (Day 1)

I might be the last human left.
I'm not getting a signal from anyone.
It seems so bizarre to think... I might be the last life on earth.
And until that life of mine runs out, I'll continue with these records.
Now, that's all I can really do...

Xth of X (Day 2)

The reason the world ended...
It was said to be a matter of diplomacy, or conspiracies in a certain country.
And like a long tensed-up string, on that day, it snapped...

But now, it's impossible to really know the cause.

Xth of X (Day 3)

At the beginning, when that missile hit, no one knew what country it came from.
Just as we dared to ask...
Every corner of the sky went bright, seemingly all at the same time.

And then... the sky fell.
The blue sky came falling down.

Xth of X (Day 4)

The war began five years ago.
When the sky fell, we were safe in Shelter 2.
Contact with the other shelters has gradually been going out.
Even with Shelter 1, where that girl and Luka are...

Worried about the two, I headed for Shelter 1.

Xth of X (Day 5)

Outside the shelter, everything was dissolving, destroyed.

When I got to Shelter 1, there wasn't anyone alive there.
I couldn't find that girl anywhere.

Xth of X (Day 6)

It seemed that Shelter 1 couldn't endure the impact.
Shelter 1 had nearly all of its functionality knocked out.
When I reached Shelter 1, I was already completely exhausted.
I discovered Luka, broken, but I lost consciousness on the spot.

Xth of X (Day 7)

When I woke up, I couldn't move my legs.
It seems Luka revived me and put me in a nursing capsule.
I hope Miku is okay...

Though Shelter 1 should have lost all power, it seems there was an emergency power unit.

Xth of X (Day 8)

One way or another, it seems the girl died.

Luka told me that, turned away from me, dragged her legs, and wouldn't reply for a long time.

Listening closely, I faintly heard a sad song.

Xth of X (Day 9)

To get Miku back, I tried to access the computer.
I checked on the barely-alive network and found that a few of the satellites hadn't yet gone defunct.

But, perhaps thanks to those gray clouds...
Communication was suddenly cut.

Xth of X (Day 10)

Accessing the satellites, I was able to confirm life signs.
The population of the entire world is 39 people.
From around 6 billion, now to 39.

Xth of X (Day 11)

29 days after "The Day the Sky Fell."
All the other humans are gone.
And there's no signs of life from anything non-human.

I'm the only living thing left on this planet.

I may not even be able to help Luka soon enough.
And then, I'll...

Xth of X (Day 12)

Is this what despair feels like?
What WERE humans?

Xth of X (Day 13)

Looking through the album I had, there was an image of Miku singing to keep me healthy.

I didn't even notice the tears running down my cheek...

Xth of X (Day 14)

Perhaps Miku...
Perhaps, after I'm gone, she may very well wake up in a world with absolutely no one.

Xth of X (Day 15)

I don't know if this is any use.
But I need to leave these records so Miku can know I was alive.

Xth of X (Day 16)

Miku is sleeping...
Maybe, in Miku, I just wanted to preserve the precious memories Miku and I had.

Xth of X (Day 17)

Memories, so many memories.
Are memories precious?
When Miku remembers, it doesn't matter what.
Is it so painful because we have memories?
Will the sprouts ever bud from that flowerpot?
What color might it bloom...?

Xth of X (Day 18)

I feel like I slept for a long time.
I'm running low on medicine.
If I were with Miku, might I be able to live just a little longer?

Xth of X (Day 19)

Put Luka in sleep mode...

Xth of X (Day 20)

All I'm doing is looking out through the window.
And it's always just gray clouds going by.
The rain comes little by little, seeming to eat away at the buildings.
Humans can't endure rain anymore...
It's become some kind of harmful liquid.

Maybe even Miku might not be able to stand it.

Xth of X (Day 21)

It's hard to breathe...
When I felt down, what would Miku do?
Miku would sing for me.
Singing that relaxed, singing that energized.

I'm sleepy... but will I get up?

Tomorrow - if I get up - I'll sing to Miku as she sleeps.

Xth of X (Day 22)

I sang...
"The most important part of singing is heart."
Miku said that.

I want to sing more songs with all my heart.

Xth of X (Day 23)

This will probably be my final entry...

Just once more, I want to see the blue sky.
A deep blue sky, full of birds soaring.
If the calm blue sky were to return, could I do anything to make sure it would never fall ever again?
Won't the sprouts ever grow?
I miss you, Miku.

When I next wake... I hope to have you at my side...
