Sophia, so, its that woman. So she is the one who is behind this? How stupid Haruka isn"t going to like her any better by stopping so low to this. A woman"s jealousy is truly something isn"t it? She could understand why her mother was always philosophical about things regarding love. There are many unexplainable things. However, Lila thinks she is starting to understand it a little bit regarding the jealousy feelings in love. It would be stupid not too, considering all the experiences she faced.
"I am confident even with charred skin, that Sophia will come to me. Now you, you"ll be screaming like a little girl should be." The man slowly approached her.
Her face color turns pale. Eh? What sort of situation is this? Is he really going to go ahead with this? Despite already experiencing what she can do?
To think that these people are Yakuza, though, she heard about them. But she never encountered them before. This person isn"t phased despite having his hand burnt already. If he tries anymore, he will end up burned to a crisp. There won"t be any bones or even blood and ash at this stage.
... . . . . . .
She doesn"t have to say anything, not looking at anything. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Ever since then, words that are not part of a song are meaningless. From morning to night, a canary will sing in a birdcage. Happiness and Sadness don"t enter. All it has are sweet thoughts and memories. The reality of the future doesn"t exisit there.
So she shouldn"t be afraid. But one day, the door opened. Uncertainty and reality became a muddy stream and flowed on. In an instant, everything is torn away, and the canary was exposed. That"s her; the canary is her.
Now that everything is out in the open, she wants to scream. She wants to scream. But this is a situation where one cannot use words, using words, in this case, is futile, even if several songs can describe this situation. Even if she wants to sing and scream, she cannot do so in such a situation. What is she supposed to do?
Should she escape? How can she? What if they try to grab someone else, maybe Kotori-chan, to deal with their frustration instead? Rikksan? Or even that woman for the past few days has been watching over her ever move quite a bit. But Lila noticed her eyeing Kotori. Perhaps this situation isn"t to do with Haruka alone.
Haruka knows that woman well too, she was probably one of those people.
Her husband"s past, pains, and sufferings will take it and embrace it all. That time she made a vow despite the circ.u.mstances. Even now, that hasn"t changed.
He is still going. Despite her blurred vision, she could see him getting up. His fingers reached up to her bare skin. It is no good, Haruka.
Nothing she says phases this man ...but if he keeps this up, he will get hurt even more. What does she do? She wants to get out of this situation, yes, but she doesn"t want to hurt anyone—dying means to be gone. What goes, is not a person"s pain, but their entire existence.
But in your mind, you think that you"d have a sense of "nothing" after you die. How can you call that "nothing"? In other words, you don"t even have an idea of what death is really like. Does this person know what he is doing? Does he intend to die?
That"s wrong. He probably thinks he will survive. At the start, yes, but its already too late; if you get any closer, you"ll die. Can"t you see already? This toxic and deadly smoke coming out of her.
This toxic made out of her very own blood. It"s no good; she still hasn"t recovered, so she cannot control this darkness. She can"t suppress it. It is coming out again, that voice she surpa.s.sed since then. "Why don"t you just kill him?"
"It"s not taking a life since you"ll be drinking his blood."
"There are so many samples here you can feed on. "
"You"ll be giving them more love than they"ve been receiving."
"You can spread your love."
No. No. She can"t do that, no matter what happens. The only blood she will drink from is from her beloved.
"But that man is tainted.
You know it too, right?
That man has already been with several others than yourself.
For me, that"s okay. The more trained they are, the more I
will love them. However, my vessel, your way too soft.
Can you truly love him?
You, who accepts and loves darkness?"
Once again, this voice is purging into her subconscious. It"s trying to take over her mind before her body. Even though normally it is a beautiful darkness. Lila understood it, from the moment she accepted it, that it would come with consequences. But she wasn"t afraid, even though it was something deadly.
She wanted to welcome it, to extend her hand out. These people ate trash. They don"t deserve to live. It"s clear as day to her that they have done this on more than one occasion. How many lives have they ruined? If she destroys them, then people can be saved.
His hand looks like charcoal now. There are no traces of his skin, yet he"s not removing his hands from the bare part. Does he wish to die? Even though he truly doesn"t understand the concept of death?
When a person dies, they abandon everything; and yet this person still has lingering attachments. This man will not survive this.
n.o.body in this building...no a certain radius of the area will be able to survive. She doesn"t know whether those living in the surroundings are innocent people or not. If they are people here, she has to apologize, it is already too late to stop this. The entire room was an empty sh.e.l.l of its former self and covered in her blood—a beautiful shade of several dark colors.
Ah. .. it"s so pretty, like the stars in the night sky. Maybe it won"t be so bad after all. Their deaths will be peaceful. If she looks closely, she can even see something that looks like a moon in the distance.
When she heard a rustling sound, she felt something inside her heart panic. Haruka is going to hate her, too, won"t he? A part of her has always feared that Haruka would leave one day.
She believed that the reason Haruka likes her so much is because she isn"t tainted. So what if she becomes tainted? He might hate her.
"You"ll be able to love him better, won"t you? If there"s hate. " The voice inside her tells her that it will be for the best that this sort of situation will make everything better.
Perhaps it will, as a couple, the two of them have gotten much closer to each other than before. They have both uncovered things about each other, that would not have been possible before.
If she is tainted, he may hate her, however, before the older guy could get any closer. Before she could release the final toxic gas, the guys headed toward her thrown across the other side of the room.
Huh? They both turned their direction to the area, and a looming aura appeared from behind the boxes. Lila was in complete disbelief; she couldn"t believe who stood there.
