"It was a humiliating defeat. Shinn didn't even see something like that coming. But it did, and it was all too real. Refusing to accept defeat, he pulls himself up and begins to trudge along ambitiously to a destination only he knows. As the sun of tomorrow rises, it is engulfed by Shinn's twisted thoughts. It shines red, almost like blood, and is obstructed by the fog of war. Revenge is all he wants."

Please read the preceding article very carefully, because that is the entire backdrop for the wall. You'll misinterpret it otherwise.

My entry in the EVI vs. Trompe Les Mondes challenge. Congratulations to EVI for the victory. And thanks, TLM, for a well-played challenge. Saved once again by a weapon...eheh.

Anyway, as I'm sure most of you are unfamiliar, "Colors of the Heart" is a song by UVERworld, best known as the 3rd OP to the anime "Blood+". Though it is actually supposed to be more uplifting and hopeful, I decided to be evil and completely twist the lyrics almost beyond recognition. Not only that, but I "punched" Shinn in the face to make him bleed just a little...

I was rushed on this piece, as I had to leave for vacation almost a week before the deadline, so any suggestions are more than welcome. Enjoy! (And sorry, hamster, for stealing your story-style intro).
