Those who know about [[CosmicHorrorStory my creative history]] will probably furrow their brows and think this is a sick joke. Honestly, I have trouble believing it myself. For when I start typing out words on the keyboard, the stories my brain comes up with are always full of madness and despair.\\
The truth is, I haven't always been this way. I have often written pieces that didn't have a perfect ending, but by the last chapter the protagonist would still possess a belief that "Although there will be many hardships to come, I still have to hold on".\\
[[CreatorBreakdown But ever since I don't know when, I can no longer write works like this]].\\

At some point, Gen Urobuchi lost that power. He still hasn't recovered. The "tragedy syndrome" is still continuing within me. Is this a terminal disease? Should I give up on the pure "warrior of love" that I have longed for? [[HorsemenOfTheApocalypse Or mount a pallid battle steed and reincarnate into a bearer of the plague]]... could it be that I can only create pieces that give men courage and hope in my next life? (When I wrote this, [[AlternateCharacterReading I accidentally wrote "courage" as "lingering ghosts"]]. I guess that's what I get for using [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_IME IME]] -- Ah, I just wrote "IME" as "hatred"... is there no way out of this for me?)''
