Sorrow of the Insane

This is a fanfiction poem of Touhou 06: Embodiment of the Scarlet Devil. The narrator here is Flandre Scarlet, a vampire girl who has been stuck in her older sister's basement for at last 495 years. Later she is revealed to be insane. This poem was inspired by a song called 'Double Scarlet', which depicts their sad tale more than I ever could. The song can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-0t2o0LXz4


My name is Flandre Scarlet.

And my sister is Remilia Scarlet.

And we are the Scarlet Sisters.

I love my older sister very much.

I am sure she loves me just as much.

She cooks lovely meals for me.

We live together in a big mansion.


As long as we are together, I am sure I can be happy.


One day my big sister brought someone to our library.

Her name is Patchouli Knowledge.

She stays in the library all the time.

Remilia likes to spend lots of time with her...

Big Sister brought me a teddy bear.

We played with it together for a while.

Sometimes she leaves to play with Patchouli

But she really spends all her time with me.

Sometimes I cook my own meals.

But when I do, my Big Sister is proud of me.

We live together in a big mansion.


As long as we are usually together, I am sure I can be happy.


One day my big sister brought someone to the gate.

Her name is Hong Meirin.

She stays outside all the time, guarding.

Remilia likes to spend time with her...

Big Sister brought me to my own room.

We played in it together for a while.

Sometimes she leaves to play with Patchouli and Meirin

But she spends the rest of the time with me.

A cook my own meals more now.

I am a better cook than I was before, my Big Sister is proud of me.

We live closely in a big mansion.


As long as we are sometimes together, I am sure I can be happy.


One day my big sister brought someone to her room.

Her name is Sakuya Izayoi

She is with my big sister always.

Remilia seems to always spend time with her...

Big Sister brought me to the mansion's basement.

I played by myself there for a while.

She left me to play with Patchouli and Meirin and Sakuya

But she never plays with me.

I never cook my own meals now.

Sakuya cooks them for me.

Big Sister never sees me and is not proud of me.

She buys me many presents to stay in my basement.

We live separately in a big mansion.


As long as we just see each other, I am sure I can be happy.


Today I am drawing a picture.

I spend many days drawing the picture.

I just completed it today.

I am sure I can make Big Sister proud.

This picture of us together, happy.


Remilia is in a meeting with the others.

She plans to rule the kingdom.

But I am sure if I sit outside and wait for her, she will see me.

And I will show her the picture.

Then she will want to play with me.

The door opens and I open up my picture with a big smile.

I open my mouth to shout surprise,

but Big Sister doesn't even look at me.

She passes me by with Sakuya on her right and Meirin on her left.

I wave to her as she leaves, but she does not even see me.

I rip up the picture and leave it onto the floor.

We live far apart in a big mansion.


As long as we are apart, I am sure I shall never be happy.
