And perverts our conciousness.

Why memorise? ... I don't know.

Which runs through our minds

What happens at the story's end? It depends on the story.

Despite that knowledge

Why stand? Crawling isn't dignified.

Yet, we still reach out for it,

Why listen? I occasionally hear things worth hearing.

The ending remains beyond our grasp;

What is my purpose at the moment? Why, to find a purpose for the rest of my life.

We, who seek an ending...

Why feel regret? I'm not a monster.

I, who have sought the future...

Why return? You didn't think that I could stay away, surely?

I, who have traversed trials...

Why did I do that? I do not know.
