4/4
Above all, the Vajra planet signified a new beginning for everyone and everything. Wounds from the war had to be healed, acceptance had to be learned, from both humans and Vajra alike, and he thinks that maybe when the reconstruction is mostly done, he could venture once again into kabuki. He'd spent so long running away from it that he had forgotten that it had long been a part of him. Perhaps his brother had been right, too. Being an actor depended on the blood one had flowing in his veins, after all. Ridiculous, really, because blood was still red and when you were wounded and bleeding, you were no different from anyone else.
He remembers a song, and he hums it softly under his breath, too soft for anyone to catch. There is a different kind of rhythm from Sheryl's and Ranka's songs, more peaceful, because silence is important. The reflection of nature is inherent in the music he's known before. He remembers these principles clearly, and for a moment, he wishes that he could have spoken with his father once again.
Make peace, perhaps. Life is too short to go on fighting, and Alto is intent on molding those both aspects of his life together. It took such a war to remember his love for theater, the passion and the joy that comes from being the center of attention, to living someone else's life and replaying it for everyone to see. And there are dreams, hopes and dreams of being the best - Sheryl and Ranka had both reminded him of that; they were talented in what they did, and of course, Alto had been glad for them. But more essentially, they were the ones who eased him back into reminiscing about what he had before; the taste for show business.
And he shakes his head before he loses himself in ideals and plans and forgets the challenges that still lay before him, before each and every one of them - not now. Now really isn't the time to be contemplating things like this, is it? Not when so many people are homeless, lost and confused without a certain leader to guide them. The euphoria of victory wears off quickly, and the realism of their situation sets in slowly. But even with realism, there was a sort of optimism to be gleaned from it; Sheryl's and Ranka's were infectious, and he begins to wonder what he would have been like without them, the two who were his wings. When had it been the three of them? When had he come to depend on them, to care for them so much? He doesn't quite understand what he feels for them, or had ever stopped to wonder about what exactly they felt for him, and he's perfectly content to leave it that way, for the sole reason that he finds himself reluctant to break the balance that the three of them had kept perfectly.
He reflects on them quietly, in the rare moment that he allowed himself to think beyond, "they're just really troublesome sometimes", and he finds himself grateful, nonetheless. They both were definitely stronger than they'd given themselves credit for, and it was heartening simply watching them grow and change. And feeling himself grow and change together right along with them. Alto feels affection, if only for a moment, for the chemistry they share, even as he climbs down from the roof to join them. They catch sight of him, and their expressions brighten. They invite him along, teasing and laughing, and Alto falls comfortably into his somewhat miffed state - something that he had long considered as his default reaction whenever it came to the two of them, or the strange competitions that they would randomly indulge in against each other, which baffled him more often than not. Especially when it involved him in one way or another.
Frontier might have sustained massive damages. The Vajra may eventually turn on them because of their difference, and they might have to venture off into space again, or some greedy human bastard might come along and incite war against the Vajra again in the goal of taking their world (because if there's anything he's learned from the last conflict, it's that people can be just as bad, or worse, than the creatures that they had been fighting against), but right now, it all doesn't really matter.
Because right here, right now, like this, everything is perfect.
