NIGHTS OF THE THE WEEK BEFORE
DISCLAIMER: I do not own TWEWY and its characters, just so all of you would know, they are all copyright of Square Enix. Now, I did most of this in a rush and in a not-so-quiet environment, so what I wrote may have strayed a little bit from the original storyline, so I hope you don't mind. The Regina and Morgan in here may be considered OCs since I included them personally in this fanfic but they do not appear in the original game. Thank you.
THE 6TH NIGHT - TOGETHER
Regina and Morgan paid another visit that afternoon again.
This time, Joshua and Regina were closer than everthan when I saw them the other day. From behind the counter, I realised Joshua hardly smiled or laughed like this, unlike when he was with her. And he had warmed up to his proxy so quickly...
I was certain he had picked the right one. Regina's extrovert-like spirit was bursting with intimate confidence. She was a clear winner - I couldn't imagine her being the flaw in the plan. Still, her willingness to sacrifice for others...
Joshua came back around midnight, which surprised me a little.
"Preparations," he told me, closing the door behind him.
Instead of sitting down, he went upstairs.
"Nervous, eh?" I asked him. I was, too. The big day was coming, the day everything would come to a close.
"I talked to her," he said. "She said she'd do anything to win the Game and bring her friend back. Anything it takes."
"Mmm." I watched him trudge up the steps. "Hey, about her murder..."
He turned to me.
"If you're going to be friends, you should tell her the truth. I mean, what will she say if she finds out? She's bound too, one day. Something will remind her."
He stared at me for a moment, the glimpse of disappointment visible in his eyes. He continued to walk up the stairs.
I stood up abruptly. "Wait, it's not like that - I'm not saying - "
But Joshua didn't come back down. Silently scolding myself for going too far, I shook my head.
Later, I went into Joshua's room to check on him. The covers lay on the floor, and I saw that his wounds had healed. I sat on the edge of the bed, putting an arm on his shoulder.
Be ready, I thought. You'll be fine.
I brushed my hand against his head lightly, pushing the hair out of his face. I sighed. Just then, I noticed something clasped in his hand. Being careful not to wake him, I took it gently. Finding it to be a piece of paper, I read the neat printing:
Joshua and Regina
Freinds forever =)
I smiled. I thought about the future - perhaps Joshua would visit her in the RG from time to time. The future... seemed bright. Joshua was deeply asleep. I slipped the paper back into his hand and closed his fingers over it firmly.
With that, I left the room.
Message: Okay - it's been a while since the last chapter, so I might have lost some of my 'feeling' from the previous chapters in this one, sorry about that. But it'll slowly improve for the next chapter. ==
