he spent his entire life running away from conflict.

a metaphorical monk on a metaphorical mountain.

 

it's like there's deep well inside him,

tempatnya membisikkan keluh kesah

"the king has donkey's ears."

 

sebuah kekuatan yang entah berasal dari mana.

maksudku, bukannya karena kita belum mengenalnya.

justru karena kita terlalu tahu,

makanya ini jadi perihal mengerikan.

 

an ancient, immortal machine. a fictional figure.

tak tergoyahkan.

 

some people said he's an arrogant bastard, and will

eventually learn his lesson. "sooner or later, it will

happen." it must happen. "that's just how it works."

an asshole.

 

some people didn't have the chance to say such things.

 

because up there, he can see almost everything

a helpless view

which he can't do nothing about

 

he lives here

close within
