Kanou and Ein

Sᴏ ᴄʀᴀᴡʟ ᴏɴ ᴍʏ ʙᴇʟʟʏ ‘ᴛɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ sᴜɴ ɢᴏᴇs ᴅᴏᴡɴ
I’ʟʟ ɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡᴇᴀʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʙʀᴏᴋᴇɴ ᴄʀᴏᴡɴ

_{Ein wakes up a millennia after his suicide with a third of his genetic material replaced with Engel’s unique living metal. The world as he knew it is gone; humanity as he knew it is gone; society consists of hybrids and androids. The Er Rai are gone but their metals remain, and in the years to come, he encounters a young man bonded to Gravitas, Kiva’s mech.}

_{Kanou Izumi is a leader, but nothing like Kiva.}

_{Kanou radiates authority and sharp command where Kiva gently led by example. Kanou infuriates and impresses and sparks passion in Ein in turn.}

_{Kanou is a man who’s bit and fought and crawled his way from nothing and now has it all. He isn’t in the least like Kiva, but Ein looks at him and it’s like staring at a broken reflection in a pool of stars.}

_{Compared to Kiva’s acceptance of fate and the way it sunk cold deep in his bones, Kanou’s will burns like a bonfire— stars, supernova, gravity— and caught in his blaze, Ein has never felt more alive.}

_{And I am just a lost man
In this life where I don’t belong
I cannot see; I cannot feel anything
I spent so much time to cry
—I’m still alive}

_{Ouvre les yeux et retrouve-toi
De quoi t’animer te réinventer
Loin des temps perdus, il est temps d’avancer
De cicatriser et de réaliser}

_{Qu’on a tant de choses à vivre
N’abandonne pas— looking up; trying to figure it out
Il reste encore du temps
Tant de rêves à accomplir
Projette-toi; staying all alone; I’m just so tired
Il reste encore du temps}

_{Wake up, wake up, wake up— it’s time to face it
Get up, get up, get up— give up my weakness
Wake up, wake up, wake up— it’s time to move on
Get up, get up, get up————}
