WSW Silent 4koma Contest Entry 1: Even Mirrors Lie

Published:

Description

I...uh...I have no idea what brought me to make this.

Okay, that's a lie. I've been listening to too much of IA's A Realistic Logical Ideologist, and while the song is mostly about an introvert's views of today's society, the last few lines caught my eye:

I’m always a hero, in everyone’s hearts
Well, in reality, that’s all a lie
But isn’t it alright, if it’s just in my dreams?


...for all of you who even so much as heard the PREMISE of The Crossroad, you should know where I went with that train of thought. And thus, INSPIRATION!

It shouldn't really be too hard to figure out. Makoto's living in the delusion that he is/can become the 'perfect hero'...whatever that means anymore. Alyss, despite being a Plucky Girl, knows he'll never grow from that kind of mindset. In a cruel twist, she has to destroy the mirror he kept looking into.

It may not make so much sense now, or maybe you'll think this is funny, but...sit tight. The later parts will unfold everything.

See this is why I wanted to make the mirror shards prop.

Makoto's sword was made by :iconchaosoverlordz:

The rocket launcher was made by :iconunknownfalling:

The bent legs base was made by :iconspectrum9001:

"It's not about fame or glory. It's about sacrifice. Are you sure you want to be a hero?"
Oh, holy moly, I honestly hope we get to see something like this in The Crossroad.
