A broken promise. [The last promise he ever made. The only one he broke.]
We only found out everything in early December. We were given one month to decide how we wanted to die. When New Year's Eve came we'd made our choice... We decided to fight. We didn't believe it was impossible, we were going to try anyway... So on January 31st, before the Dark Hour, we made a promise. We were told we'd forget everything if we succeeded, but we didn't want to believe that, either.
So we promised that even if we forgot everything, we'd remember. We'd all meet up on the school roof on Graduation Day to make sure peace had really returned.
[He closes his eyes briefly, letting the regret wash over him. He knows they remember. He knows they got there. If he'd only held on a little longer...] I'm the only one who broke that promise, despite being the only one who remembered.
