Désespérance - Tsuchiya Ruka

2. Part...

Well, what to say about Ruka here? At first I attempted a hourglass on his chest, knowing that it might look ridicolous. But oh damn, the message was clear enough. Well, finally I added that witted blue rose, the symbol for his life, ending so rapidly... the orange leaves stand for his unreplied love and longing for Juri, like the florett not also represents his fighting weapon, no, a florett seems to be a very feminine instrument for a kinda... feminine sport - so I could be a metaphor for Juri too. Blue represents loyality and constanicy feelings for her - Loyality because he sacrificed himself for her freedom and luck. So why despair? It's my personal opinion. Juri ended her 2nd duel when she knew the answer to her questions. And Ruka noticed. he was caged in despair, just wanted Juri to be happy... how tragic at least
