The Player In First Place: The Last One Standing PART 2
Drip.....drop.....As the soft petals fall to the ground, and with them... The soft cries.The tears of the rain, filling the forest with their blissful sound.... Trying to call out to the deceived, Alas, it is to no avail... For the deceived cannot hear the truth. Nor bear to understand it....
