"Ritsu! RITSU! You can't just walk away from me. You can't just ignore my feelings for you like the ads in a newspaper. I demand that you face me and stop running away as if you were a vampire fleeing from sunlight." Despite her pleas he continues to walk away. "I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE!" Her outburst makes him freeze in his tracks. "I know but I don't care because I love you." She's walks over to him, closing the small distance between them with a few strides and forcefully plus his arm. "Ritsu...please. Don't go. Don't leave me." She takes his hand in hers, trembling with emotion.
"Ann I love Takano. I always have and I always will. I'm sorry but I can't be with you." Onodera pulls his hand away, leaving her there all alone to watch him fade into the distance as it begins to rain. Streams of tears roll down her cheeks, unable to move, to think all she could do was cry in the rain. Onodera's words ring in her ears. A cruel reminder that she wasn't enough. That see was never enough. She hated that feeling but more importantly she hated being reminded of that feeling.
A little while later she finally snaps out of it, soaked to the bone as she makes her way home. Sulking into the elevator as she ascends the multiple floors to her apartment till she reaches her floor. Slamming the door closed behind herself and then locks it. She strips most of her dripping wet clothes and allows them to fall to the floor with a thick plop. Only leaving on a fancy set of crimson lingerie. How could he! How could he just leave me like that. I love him and yet he left me all alone - IN THE RAIN! I was gonna tell him the truth but he wouldn't even bother to listen. Why wouldn't he listen...why.
She couldn't help but contemplate that maybe it was her fault. That maybe she was to blame. No matter her outwardly bubbly personality, she was never very happy. She was useless. Thanks to family money she never had a job. In fact she never needed to take care of herself. She was more helpless then a newborn and the worse part was she knew it. She skipped to her overly sized bathroom and stripped what was left of her clothing, running herself a bath.
She carefully gets into the pristine porcelain tub allowing the steamy, warm water to envelop her body and listens as the water droplets pelt the glass windows. She could hear thunderous booms from the distance coming closer and closer. Mother nature showings whose boss. She could not help but join the downpour with fresh streams of salty tears. Sometime between her broken sobs she slowly drifted off and began to sink into the large tub. Wordlessly crying for help as she dozed off into a dream world far better then the nightmare she was living.
