Don't worry, my love for you was never an obligation, which is why I can leave these burning embers behind and walk forward without ever looking back.
As the burning love forced my eyes open to watch your name taking shape in the embers, I realized with horror that my heart was no longer mine to control.
My heart was emotional rather than compelled, but because love refuses to listen and keeps burning me, I am taking my next step forward and will never turn back.
My friend and I were talking about the animation of Attack on Titan, how in season 4 Mappa did an amazing job. This is his first anime, so I told him that Mappa is often accused of overworking animators, and whenever they do something great, people talk about how employees are overworked. He then said, "How can you have great Pyramids without exploiting slaves?"..😳
I know that the thing about pyramid is not true.. But that's not the point here.
A gentle breeze blew today, carrying a quiet familiarity—
neither too cold nor too warm,
as if it gently swept me back into childhood.
That breeze even brought back the fragrance of those who are no longer here,
as though I am sitting once again on the rooftop,
as if my old companions are right there beside me,
lost in their games,
while I simply sit, smiling, playing with the wind.
That breeze blew once more—
where there was neither harsh sunlight nor deep darkness,
as if I were back at my Nani's house.
As if she weren't married yet,
and we were still speaking quietly with our eyes alone.
That breeze,
and the feeling it brought with it—
I cannot put it into words.
It felt as though every old memory came alive again,
bringing a deep, quiet peace to my heart.
You know what happened today.. My friend and I were talking about the animation of Attack on Titan, how in season 4 Mappa did an amazing job. This is his first anime, so I told him that Mappa is often accused of overworking animators, and whenever they do something great, people talk about how employees are overworked. He then said, "How can you have great Pyramids without exploiting slaves?"..😳
I looked at you—
today, I was clinging to my window
while you stood down below.
That same smile rested on your face—
the kind of smile that hurts to see.
When a single drop fell,
your eyes turned upward.
It was no raindrop—
those were my tears.
Two pairs of eyes met once more,
yet all they held was a damp, silent ache.
I just kept gazing down at you—
with only one thought echoing in my mind:
If only I hadn't been so late,
while you kept looking up at me,
with "I'm sorry" written across your face.
Snapping back to my senses,
I backed away from the window,
pulling one hand back,
turning to look into the dark behind me—
then looking down at you once more.
Another drop fell...
once more—
and those were your tears.
So I just finished watching Overlord The Sacred Kingdom as well, and now along with all four seasons and the movie, I’ve completed the entire series until future seasons come out. I can understand why they decided to adapt this specific part of the story into a movie, it was largely a self contained story, and it was quite funny too, like that arrow scene, and the ending actually shocked me!
It's just that at the start of the movie, I thought we would see Ainz at the center and get a really cool fight scene, but that wasn't the case. Most of the time, that girl named Neia was at the center of it, and in the second half, Ainz disappears altogether. For the final fight, I was expecting some mind blowing action animation, but even that didn't happen. It's not that I didn't enjoy it, I definitely did, but my expectations were just different. I was also missing the other Floor Guardians of Nazarick, but alright, it was fine. The animation was the absolute best so far, and I really liked the music as well. Overall, as a side story, the movie was good and funny.
Okay, so I just finished watching Season 4 of Overlord, and first of all, what a total banger the opening song was, I’m still singing it right now! The animation was the best so far, and the music was fantastic too. I’ve come to accept that this series has turned completely political now. Even though I don't have much interest in politics, I didn't feel bored at all here.
Yeah, I hadn't watched the movie, so when several references kept popping up, I thought I had missed a few episodes, but even so, I was able to follow the story easily. Re Estize has also fallen under Ainz's control now, and now it remains to be seen what happens next. That dragon and that hero have still been kept as a mystery, maybe more like them will appear further along. Hopefully, Ainz gets a proper challenge ahead, which I'm really excited to see. For now, I'm off to watch the movie.
Sleep now, knowing that you are not alone—
I stand above you like a sheltering roof.
Sleep, even if you lie upon this cold earth;
I will lift you gently and place you among the clouds.
Sleep now, my companion,
sleep, my love,
sleep, my beloved.
Sleep and dream the sweetest of dreams,
and lose yourself far from this restless, waking worry.
Sitting idly just like this—
where could a path ever be found?
But if we walk together,
these vast distances are bound to shrink.
So walk with me,
just keep walking on—
even if we have no idea where we are headed.
Just walk,
and I follow wherever your eyes lead.
Let us keep walking,
let our footsteps hold conversations of their own.
When you walk beside me,
my feet never grow tired,
they refuse to listen to reason—
for they are governed only by my heart.
I had never imagined
that this heart of mine would commit such betrayal—
by turning away from me, to become entirely yours.
The cool breeze on the roof now carries new memories for everyone else, while I simply step forward into the quiet places where I belong.
As the cold wind swept over the rooftop where everyone gathered in silence, no one dared to look down at the familiar crossroads where my shadow used to be.
My shadow no longer falls across our familiar moonlit crossroads, and my voice will no longer echo in the room when everyone laughs together—for I have finally wandered far away.
These deep, dark waves formed by my own tears
are slowly swallowing me whole—
yet through it all, I can still see your light.
Only your light
can pull me out.

I long for you,
yet as far as my gaze can reach,
you remain just as distant.
You illuminate the dark places
and guide my way forward,
as if you truly belonged to me alone.
And yet, waves of quiet grief rise within my heart—
for the Creator made you for everyone, not just for me.
But as I looked from you back to myself, I realized you were never truly lost at all—so leaving my heart behind, I quietly turned and walked away down my own path.
Lost among these hazy figures, I too
am slowly fading into the fog as I wander.
I want to break free from this place—
but how?
There seems to be no exit anywhere.
Everyone shares the same scent of sweat and toil,
muttering endlessly amongst themselves.
I will not become like them—
this is my only prayer to You, Oh God.
Your light is somewhere near,
reflecting off something that falls upon my face;
I will seek out that very source of the light.
By this riverbank, there is only my shadow and me,
while the sound of waves echoes through the dark.
Through the night, your light shines,
showing me the path ahead.
I stand watching the waves grow still—
upon them, your moonlight has carved out a trail.
If I were to walk along that path,
I know I would finally reach you.
