how are you ruined ?

𝐛𝐲 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 .

you are so lonely. you are miserable in your solitude. you hate that you cannot bring yourself to reach out, to ask for help. you will be forgotten by all who never knew you. your biggest fear is that you will die alone, and you know this fear will be seen to fruition. you refuse to extend yourself beyond the box that others put you in. and it is a box that no one dare come near.

you are lonely because you are afraid of yourself.

* crossed out because most of the story kenshin has accepted his own death as a possibility. a long time ago as deserving of it happening for all he’s done in his teens / bakumatsu and even earlier than that as shinta, who knew death, loss and hardship at an early age.

#honestly kenshin doesn't care if he dies alone because most of the franchise thinks he honestly deserves it #and if anyone can ever match him enough to kill him it's deserved for all he's taken #even for the sake of a new era.#doesn't excuse the killing.#i almost dismissed this one but got it twice and the last lines are on point.#he is absolutely terrified of himself and the inner hitokiri; the manifestation of darkness in him that represents all his sins #all he's lost.#even before he /ever/ became a hitokiri all kenshin knew was toil sl / avery and death / illness / plague.#tomoe was the /first/ happy thing to ever enter his life.#i argue hiko had his moments but we know he isn't the most emotionally hands on.#but yes kenshin is /scared of himself/ especially in the tokyo / kyoto arc #and with his kind of skill and power....why shouldn't he be? he's used it to kill and it's ended a war. 'strongest of the bakumatsu'.#what could he do if he loses control of his emotions and gives into that dormant dragon anger?#this hurts me so much.#but it's very true.#i think kenshin has always accepted he would die alone.#but the kenshingumi won't let him.#and his will to live won't either :' )#✘𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐒: ‘A person’s life is not that easy. You must learn the truth from yourself.’
