Theme 4: Our Distance and That Person (Game)

The Distance to Him

Sometimes Jun wondered if Kazuya could even see her. He seemed to enjoy her company…for dinner, strolls, late-night liaisons between his silk sheets. But these times were outweighed by far-away looks in his eyes where she knew he wasn't thinking of her. What they shared should have been an idyllic, whirlwind romance, sudden love bubbling up between two people who'd only just met. What they shared instead was a struggle for a man's soul. Jun was one contender, a purple, winged Devil the other. In the middle, Kazuya was the prize. He didn't seem to care who won, so long as in the end, he still was able to kill his father.

In those moments, when Kazuya's gaze was hard and staring at something only he could see, Jun knew he was thinking of vengeance, feeling pain, wallowing in hatred. And she could do nothing but hold him, kiss him and beg him to come back to her.
