I'm sorry to intterupt this broadcast, but I have breaking news.

It was alerted to us today that local deviant TSUKINO Tora (surname first) has been found dead off the Juuban fishing pier around 6:30 am this morning.

The accounts of what took place were told by a local witness.

Tora always comes by this pier on his early morning jog.  A lady who lives right by the pier had a baby daughter who was being cranky and so she brought her out to her favourite spot on the pier. From what the mother had told me, she had been up alnight with her baby and was very worn out. She passed out right with the baby in her arms. By 6:15, Tora was jogging down the pier, and noticed the mother panicking because her baby was missing, and he saw the baby right at the edge of the pier.  He ran to the edge and grabbed the baby and called out to the mother. After she was back out of harms way, Tora looked out towards the sea and began to jog back. He spun around to fast and slipped on the edge of the pier (due to rains that night before) and fell into the sea. I was just coming up to check the tides when the mother came out to get help. I ran out on the pier to sea him screaming fr help as his head kept bobbing under the water, swallowing more and more of that salt water. By the time I could get my boat out to him and drag him on board, he had already been dead.

The local coroner has stated that he did die from drowing and de-hydration due to excessive amounts of sodium in his system.

They had his funeral this evening at 5p.m. at the Tokyo Central Park, where friends, family, and other unknown visitors attended.

The service ended with one of his favourite songs, "My Will" by dream:

Quietly awakening...
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...

Unable to move forward across "just a little more" distance
The way I see before me is always blocked
Every time the days I want to see you but can't pile up,
My strong heartbeat turns into heartbreak.

If there is such a thing as "eternity,"
I want to believe, even if I have to take the long way.
Although I know that I've been hurt before because I'm clumsy
I won't stop; I won't give in to anyone.

I think of you
and that alone is enough
to make the tears start to flow now
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...

I've known all too well about pretending to be strong.
But since then, my doubts have vanished.
There's definitely things I want to show you
And so many words I want to hear
I want to see all sides of you, when you laugh and cry
So I'll stop waiting
and seize my "chance."

I think of you,
and I feel like that alone is enough
to make my heart grow stronger.
I always, always wish
that these fleeting thoughts
would reach you...

I think of you
and that alone is enough
to make the tears start to flow now
My distant voice can't reach you now, but so that someday
it definitely will...
Believe.   la la   la la   la la...
Believe.   la la   la la   la la...
Believe.   la la   la la   la la...

Good bye TSUKINO Tora, you will truly be missed.

~~~~~NOTE~~~~~
This has been the official "writing-off" of my character, Tora Tsukino. I'm changing, growing older and such, and I have never been able to get his story off the ground as a sailormoon fanfic. But Tora isn't dead though, no, just being reborn as a new character of an original story I have been trying to work on. As such, I have a new deviantART account.

Switch all deviantWATCHes of me over to ~yakitora and I hope to see you there! ^__^

This was so sad to do though... TT___TT
