.:You Remain the Same:.
Akiko couldn't understand it. Was she too plain? Too annoying? Too much for him to deal with? Too SHORT? The girl just couldn't figure out what was going through the Japanese male Exorcist's mind when he ended it between them. She was confused and slightly heartbroken. But, when they were together, his eyes were always too distant, and when he looked at her, it's as if he was imagining someone else whenever their eyes met. She always made up excuses for it, but it was always the same; he was always the same.
"Look, I'm sorry, but this time I think we should just end it," he told her bluntly.
The girl laughed bitterly. "Oh? So for these past couple of months when I thought you would actually care, you were just toying with me Kanda?" she asked, tears welling up in her eyes.
