I told her the best case scenario, the best option for her and our plans. Things can only go down hill from here. Go home I say, it's dangerous here. Having a witness waltz freely around would mean trouble for us.

Her reaction was what made me second guess.

I never saw her face as she spoke her pain. Her troubles seems to stem from her life. The sound of disappointment and despair tug at my heart. I shouldn't be caring at all.

I know she was crying, the very last chance to be helped and was told otherwise.

I'm a terrorist anyways, I should be heartless monster with Nine to begin with.

However, after this plan succeeds...what is left for me and Nine?

We don't have much time. Less him than me.

Maybe it is selfish, maybe my interests are elsewhere than achieving a goal set in the past.

But what I've just heard at this very moment, her expression as if Sphinx were her only hope to live...

I clutch the fence with my hands, knowing the feeling was the same when we left, when we ran away from that institution.

Me and Nine had nowhere to go, we didn't have a home. We couldn't turn back or else we'd die. Nine wouldn't agree now but deep down, he would say yes to this.

Those kids died because they gave up, they had no reason to live. The resonance between Lisa and them begins to shape up my mind.

I always believed there was something mystical, something magical that can occur. It could even be humans themselves.

Maybe an angel would come down and grace us, save us from the pain we endured back then.

Fate said otherwise.

We didn't have the power to change our future.

Lisa must have the same wish and is about to get rejected, head back into the lifestyle that's ruining her now.

The cars passed back and forth below the street, maybe driving home or to a life they're already accepted by.

...

No.

Soon I couldn't think of any alternatives. My decision was final from there on. I didn't have the power back then.

But I do now.

"Lisa" I murmur, leaving the fence I've been leaning against and walk away. I made up my mind, I don't care about the future, only what happens at this very moment.

"You won't have to suffer anymore."

I pull my keys out of my pocket, nearing my motorcycle parked close.

"If no one else will, then I'll be the one to grant your wish."

My resolve Once it was ready, the engine roared as I rush to find her.

The two officers were surprised as I passed them. Right, fate tried to pull her back into the rules she hates and wants to get way from.

I turn back towards their direction, smiling over to Lisa.

Surprised wouldn't be the right word to describe her expression. The hope She ran over, away from the police and got on the back. I lowered my head and sped off.

It might be selfish of me to do this, and not think of what will happen later. I'm ignoring Nine, the plan and our reason for living this long...

But, I'm doing something no else could do in the past for us.

Be the Angel to whisk us away from our terrible lives.
