The Transience of Dawn
Itou lifted his gaze above the city line to the gathering of clouds in shades of gold and bronze. The beauty of dawn was a timeless subject of poets and the soldier’s relief from a torturous night under siege. But for him, the dawn signaled the beginning of a new day that usually turned out just the same as before with little to no change except in what his evening meal would consist of, or how many politicians to charm, or criminals to hunt down and execute. Still, he would immerse himself in the stillness of the early morning and believe – just for a moment – in the promise that something would change and that the hollowness in his soul would be filled with more than sunlight.
That maybe the new memories of laughter and smiles would be burned up into disintegration and so empty him of a first-time hesitation to move forward in his life.
Summary: Itou Kamotarou remembers three early morning moments from his life in the days before his final hour.
