Pata and Taiji dream

By Mie

I wrote this about the dream I had on the night of 02.08.98.

.

Pata was walking through a park, like how on a normal night he would as he's about to arrive home, this night is no different than the others. However, he notices a very familiar person who seems to wants to be ignored by him, not showing himself or even wanting to be looked at. But it's Taiji. Taiji is Pata's friend, and Pata wouldn't be able to just watch him like this...Because Taiji is homeless! From this, Taiji and Pata make a deal so that Pata can bring food for him every night at the same time. 22:00 on the dot. It's a habit now for bringing him food every night, but he gradually notices that Taiji often doesn't seem to finish it every night, and that his mood has gone down a lot... is Taiji okay? Of course Pata is worried for his friend. In this night, Pata meets at the park, and can't find Taiji, but it's the first time he's ever been late. So he decides to wait a little while for Taiji to arrive, but Taiji didn't have anywhere to be.. did he find a place to stay? What is it? Eventually Pata is tired and leaves, returning the next night, no signs of Taiji again... After the next night, next, next, next, Pata's concern building up.. what happened to Taiji? Today X JAPAN is having a meeting... In a conversation between Yoshiki, Heath, and Pata, Yoshiki had mentioned Taiji... So Pata says that he haven't seen Taiji in weeks. Yoshiki and Heath look at each other horrified and it leaves Pata confused.. he ask what's wrong... But Yoshiki had mentioned; Taiji jumped off a bridge a few weeks ago because he can't deal with such his life, living like a failure or so as he believed. Taiji is taken away from Pata... what has Pata done to deserve this.... there's no more purpose for him here.
