NiGHTS hung his head down. Reala was quiet as his brothers' tears fell like a water fountain. The other Nightmarens were going to be there soon to take NiGHTS away. Reala kept watching NiGHTS and waiting for something to happen that never will.
"She said no..." NiGHTS whispered.
Reala turned his head away. He couldn't believe it himself. What happened just moments ago shocked him and NiGHTS, causing Reala to be unsure on what to do.
...
The visitor at that time was a girl. She was dualized with NiGHTS and was fighting me, well she was going to anyway... When she saw me, she instantly separated with NiGHTS. We both stared at her in confusion.
"Mara," NiGHTS said, "Won't you fight?"
She looked up at him with a face that only a coward would make.
"No." She said.
"W-What?" He asked.
"I'm sorry, but I can't." She said, her ideya of courage leaving her.
She ran out of the door. NiGHTS tried to chase after her before I caught him.
"Mara! Please!" He said, tears starting to form in his eyes.
I took the ideya. Then realization hit me. NiGHTS was my captive. He was pulling on my arm and begging me to let him go. He has never begged before, he's getting desperate. I felt the smallest amount of guilt but went about my job. I chained him to the wall. And that's when he started to cry.
…
That was the most cowardly act that I have ever seen in my life. Why does NiGHTS want to help them? If he would stay with us, he would get so much more than that. I pushed my thoughts aside and searched through my things.
"If you would stayed with us," I said, "This wouldn't have happened."
I pulled out the desired item and I headed back to NiGHTS. He raised his head a little.
"I thought," He said, "I thought that she was different."
I crouched in front of him and held out the item. The item was NiGHTS' old persona. He submissively lifted his head, allowing me to put it on him.
"That's your flaw." I tell him, darkly, "You never think. You only act."
I finished adjusting it, making sure it didn't come off easily. I stood back up and watched him. There was nothing else to do.
"Do you think Wizeman is going to let me live this down?" He asked, glancing up at me.
"Probably not." I answer.
He nods his head and becomes quiet again. I really don't know what to say. The others should be here any minute.
"I'm sorry." I say, finally.
Before NiGHTS can say anything else, Jackle and Bomamba came in.
"Wow, Great job Reala!" Said Jackle, with his insane grin.
"Yeah, yeah." I say, impatiently.
I unlock NiGHTS and we begin to escort him back to Nightmare. But before we start I hear a flapping noise. I turn to see the elderly Owl. His face was hopeless as if he had given up, which he probably has. I want to say something but I instead lower my eyes and go back to my work.
