Tragic struck that day. It was like time had stopped. The sudden shock was hard for anyone to bear. Thick gray clouds covered the sky. There was no way any light was going to get through. Heavy rain soaked everything. The strong wind whipped around. It was like the day affected by the tragic event. It was like the day was crying for the fallen ray of sunshine.
A crowd had formed around the accident. The people watched the paramedics tend to the girl. Hushed talk spread through the crowd. Everyone showed sympathy to the girl as she was being loaded into the ambulance. The driver of the car was sitting on the side of the road. He was sobbing in his hands. The driver felt terrible for hitting her. A couple of officers stood by him.
There was one person who didn't show or felt any emotions about the situation. He stood away from the crowd. He watched from a distance. He felt nothing. He was hallow. Empty. No sympathy for the girl. Or anger at the driver for hitting her. What right did he have for having such a beautiful ray of sunshine? For someone who didn't feel could never appreciate or love what he had. She deserved more than what he could give her. It was fate. Fate was telling him a creature of the shadows needed to stay in the shadows.
The ambulance hurried passed with the lights flashing and the sirens screeching. The crowd began to disperse, as the police were finishing with the driver. Talk of what happened was still being muttered. He just turned and went back to where he belonged, the shadows. It didn't matter to him if she lived or not. He could not feel happiness when and if she healed. He could not feel sadness if she didn't make it. The two could not be together. Something from the light needed to remain in the day. Something from the dark needed to remain in the night. Even though fate had drove them apart, there was still a possibility fate would bring them back together, if it were truly meant to be.
For the time being Ai went back to the world he knew.
The sky continued weeping for the sunray, Haruka Nanami.
