Mimi let music take part of her. She wasn't in a good mood, so she had just decided to lock herself in her room. Once in a while, she also had headphones. She knew that if she turned on the stereo, sooner or later, Nastasia would come to shut it down.
And she didn't want to see most random songs reached her ears as she was just leaning there, on her bed. She was nervous; she didn't know why.
Mr.L, the day before, had tried to find out what was going on with her...

"Perhaps it's because the heroes are already there?"
"No"

"Maybe you forgot something at Merlee's mansion"
"No."
"Did you
eak a rubee?"
"No!"
"You're a woman, maybe... it's your no week..."
"NO!"

And the poor guy had taken a slap on his face.
Tears began to roll down her cheeks. Everything, everything... it had lost sense for her.

Why destroying everything?
Why creating a new world?
Why... why do they want a world where there is no space for me?

All of this made her deeply anxious, and she didn't want to admit it. But even when from the outside she seemed to be a strong person... The thought that everything would end... it made her sick.

She closed her eyes.

This mustn't end right now. Calm down. Nobody must see you when you are like tha-

Toc toc.

Mimi looked at the door, wiping her eyes.

Toc toc.

"Miiiiiiiiiimi~"

She recognized the voice. A smile got on her face.

Dimentio.

"Come in"

Dimentio went into the room as she spoke. He noticed her eyes red and shiny, but didn't ask. Because he saw a smile on her lips. And he hoped that it wasn't a fake smile.

"Hey Mimi."

"Hello Dimmy"

Dimentio clenched his fist, thinking that it was the worst nickname ever, but then shook his head.

"What were you doing? Do you have time for an ice cream?"
"And you are asking?"

"Yeah."

"Well, about the others..."
"But who wants to go with others?" she replied fast. "Surely it's the same for them, let's go now!" She said nothing more, and teleported out.

...

"...Mimi. This is not an ice cream parlor."

Dimentio looked around. It was... a forest?

"I know."

Mimi had a sad expression on her face, now.

He can't stop it... Not even him...

"Why does all this... have to end? "she whispered.

Dimentio didn't understand. Maybe, he just couldn't understand.

"What?" Mimi turned towards him. His face was in front of hers.

"The world will end. And we will end with it."

"After it will be better, Mimi. It will be... perfect. "

"No. "

A tear slipped on Mimi's cheek.

"After, it doesn't matter anymore."

She stared at him, stared at his eyes.

"We can't live it."

Dimentio was stunned.

"Well... if you know that everything will end... "

He paused, just to reflect for a moment. Mimi could have said his eyes seemed to shine.

"...You can do everything you always wanted to do."

"All I ever wanted to do?"

In Mimi's eyes was printed the word "dare".

"Ehm... yes."

Mimi got closer to Dimentio, pulled him down, and kissed him.

When she let go, he was even more stunned.

"All I ever wanted to do."
