His pride as a vampire makes him keep us at a distance at any time!
"It's a shame." Kaya sighed, as she gently touched his face, longing and regret washing through her.
"What?" he asked, startled.
Surprised, she snapped out of her trance, "Ah, nothing President! I think I better be going. There are still many jobs that I must attend to today." She manoeuvred her way out of his grasp, and hastily walked to the elevator. Quickly fixing her hair and glasses, she turned around and bowed to Kyohei. "Please excuse me, President.

However, before he stepped out of the elevator, his thoughts raced quickly back to the empty foyer that seemed to resemble Kaya's eyes during that moment.
Why was she so sad?
