She cried and screamed at the edge of that cliff until she tasted blood in her mouth and her body collapsed into the dirt, spent and shaking. They led her away from the edge, one officer looking down at the ravine, her lover's crumpled, broken body shattered at the base of the cliff. Two days later, she followed him.

Seppuku
She cried and screamed at the edge of that cliff until she tasted blood in her mouth and her body collapsed into the dirt, spent and shaking. They led her away from the edge, one officer looking down at the ravine, her lover's crumpled, broken body shattered at the base of the cliff. Two days later, she followed him.
They just shook their heads and cleaned up the mess. Another Romeo and Juilet, ruining everyones' lives.
