Decim watched as the door to the elevator opened and only one person came out, there was not a second. He noticed that it was a woman and she looked oddly familiar.
"Welcome to the Quindecim, I am Decim and I will be your bartender." He stated as the woman sat at the bar.
"Well Decim, it's nice to meet you. Can you answer two questions for me?" The woman replied in a similar fashion as only one woman had before.
"Of course Ms., what is it that you would like to ask?" He replied.
"First off, how did I die this time, second, don't drug my drink this time?" She smirked as she said this, causing Decim to drop the glass in his hand. siddenly the elevator opened and Nona walked in.
"So, Decim, did you figure it out?" Nona asked.
"I-is she...Chiyuki?" He stuttered as a tear began to form , but then he noticed her eyes. they looked like his and Nona's. "Is she an arbiter?"
"Yes, she is your partner, Decim. Now have a happy reunion. Also, there's no reason for you to keep that manequin anymore." Nona stated as she gestured toward Decim's doll of Chiyuki before leaving.
Decim finally let his tear fall, not noticing the woman he had a strange feeling toward come around the bar to give him a hug.
"Did you miss me, Decim?" Chiyuki asked.
"I do believe I did, I am terribly sorry for drugging your drink a long time ago. Please forgive me." He said with tears in his eyes.
"You have my forgiveness, Decim. Now let me greet you how I should have." She slowly cupped his cheek and brought his head down to kiss him. His face flushed as he didn't know how to respond. He shed a tear as she was kissing him, but he did not know why. Decim pulled away in question.
"Chiyuki, I am happy that you are here, but I still shed tears. I have not come to fully grasp emotions. And why does my heart beat faster when your lips press against mine? is it what humans call love?" He asked bluntly.
"Well emotions are complicated, what you did were cry tears of happiness. And the part about love? Only you can figure that out." She replied with a smile on her face.
That night, the two slept in the same bed, only waiting for the next day to come.
