Ding ding!
An e-mail for me? Komui thought, hopefully, as he strode by his computer desk.
Subject: Thank You
Sender: Cross Marian
"First of all, don't worry. I'm not mad that you didn't show up at our meet. I know how much of a worry-wart you are, but fear not."
"Next, I want you to know that it's your choice. I know you may no longer want to spend as much time with me, and now I feel well-aware of who you have decided to choose. Perhaps spending time with Reever is more important to you…?"
"However, if I am mistaken, send me a reply. If not, I'll assume your decision has already been."
"Also, I wanted to let you know firsthand, Komui dear... I will be leaving soon. I have other matters to attend to, you see, and I won't have a reason to stick around any longer, considering that we will no longer be meeting."
"I want you to deicide. Either spend another night with me, or go with him. It's your choice, and I won't hold you back."
"Thank you for the lovely opportunity to be with you. And I'm glad that this situation helped you to grow. Finally, you can figure things out for yourself, am I right?"
-Cross
And therefore, Cross disappeared once more; only to return if Komui sent him that fateful e-mail.
That e-mail was left unresponded to.
