"Mob….are you ok? I can heat that up for you or make you something else or order you something else or-" said Serizawa. They were back at the table, now. She had come back from seeing her mother off and just sort of sat there.
Serizawa had taken that as his cue to get on with dinner. That whole exchange had been ridiculously stressful and all he wanted to do was get back to normal because it was beginning to be too much and he did not want to backslide…so he tried to get back to normal. This was normal. Just a normal dinner between him and his girlfriend.
Except she didn't eat.
She didn't talk.
She didn't even move.
"Mob?" asked Serizawa. She was still sitting there still as a statue. She hadn't even blinked it since she sat down. It seemed like…like something may have been wrong….of course something was wrong. Her mom had practically had a mental breakdown right there at the table!
"I don't understand." Said Mob after she realized that she was being addressed. She had been lost in her own head trying to figure out what, exactly, would possess Master Reigen to tell on her like that. Why would he betray her like that? That was the only word for it, betrayal. He knew that mom and dad would not have let her date Serizawa and that they would try and punish her…and he had still told on her.
"I was just thinking that because you weren't eating you might have wanted something else and I felt bad that you weren't eating and also I feel bad about what happened and-" said Serizawa
"I don't understand why he would do that…" said Mob. Why would Master Reigen just go off and tell on her? Was it because they had sex? But that would make no sense. They had sex, the two of them, and he was the one who was always going on and on about how people would think all sorts of things about them if they were a couple…so why tell her mom? Unless….unless mom only knew about Mob and Serizawa…and Master had betrayed her because he was….he was upset that she was dating Serizawa…
"Why who would do what?" asked Serizawa. She had this far off look in her eyes. She was…what was she thinking about? Whatever happened he would….he would make it better. He didn't know what this was about but he loved her and he would make it better.
"Master Reigen." Said Mob
"…what about him?" asked Serizawa. His aura had flared at the mention of Reigen. Reigen, Reigen, Reigen…she was still thinking about Reigen! He knew….he knew that he should not have been angry with her. He had said, already, that he forgave her. The wound was still raw and would probably be raw for ages to come but…but he just needed to come off of it. It had happened and unless a crazy scientist showed up in his flying time travel car there was no way to make it un-happen.
"My mom…." Said Mob. She didn't want to say it. He betrayed her. He betrayed her and…and it hurt…
"Your mother?" asked Serizawa. For a moment he has a crazy, irrational, thought and almost asks if Reigen had slept with her, too. It's crazy and irrational but that's the only place his mind can go to. What else would Reigen have to do with her mother? He had expressed, before, that he didn't much care for her mother. Called her a 'severe' woman and Serizawa could see why. He understood, now, all of those jokes on TV about guys not liking their mother in law and not wanting her around…
Which he knew was wrong. He should have gotten along with Kageyama Hana…but she made it very difficult.
"Yes. Master Reigen…he told my mom on me…" said Mob getting it out. The minute the words leave her lips she's seized by a crushing pressure in her chest. The corners of her eyes begin to prickle and her nose fills with snot. He betrayed her. How could he betray her like that?!
Serizawa was at her side in a second. He held her close and kissed the top of her head and told her that everything was going to be ok. He held her close, both of his arms around her, and he kissed the top of her head again and again and again even though he…he didn't much want to…but he did.
He did and he didn't.
She still cared about Reigen. He did not want to think about Reigen. He had been making such an effort to keep himself from thinking about Reigen and what happened…such an effort to think that she was over and done with Reigen…but she wasn't. There had been hope there in the way that she had said that she was done talking about him…but round and round they went. This ever spinning wheel…
"I just don't know why he would do something like that! He knew that I would get in trouble if mom and dad found out that I was your girlfriend….and he still did it anyway!" said Mob as she rested against Serizawa. She could her aura trying to bond with his. She let it. He was there for her. He would never betray her. He had never done anything even close to…she loved him…
She could trust him.
And she loved him for that.
Even now. Even after all of this he still loved her. He was there, holding her, even though he didn't have to. She had come close, so close, to being alone…all alone. Master Reigen hadn't wanted her…even if they had…and if Serizawa had stopped wanting to be with her…had stopped loving her…then she would have been totally alone…
"It's ok….it's all going to be ok…I'm here…" said Serizawa. The room was shaking. Thank God he had bolted down whatever he could. He wondered, briefly, if maybe he shouldn't have. Maybe he should have just let himself be crushed under the weight of his life…maybe that would have been better…better to have gotten that over with years ago…
He could feel the crushing weight of it now. The weight of her. The weight of his feelings for her. The weight of his feelings and her feelings and also…and also her feelings for Reigen….which he knew that she still must have had. Why else cry? Why not just say 'fuck him' and end it? If she were angry she could have just….she had said that she was never going to talk to him again….and yet here she was crying over him….
"You're here. You're here and I'm here. We're here together…." Said Mob through her sniffles. She could feel him, the feel of him against her…and it was nice. She untangled her arms from his and then wrapped them around him as best as she could. His chest was so broad…he was so strong. He was strong enough to shoulder all of this…strong enough to be with her even after she had done all of that…
She could have so easily been alone….
And it was all because of Master Reigen.
She could have so easily been grounded in her room right now with nowhere to go and her parents mad at her…and it was because of Master Reigen. He was willing to do that to her….but Serizawa wasn't. Serizawa was not that sort of person. He could never have done anything like that to her…anything to hurt her….
"I'm here. I'm here…Mob…Shigeko….I'm here for you…" said Serizawa. She was crying over Reigen…over his actions. If she was true in what she said…that she was done with him…then she would not have cared. She would have just been done with him and not cared but she did care and she cared because she loved him…she loved Reigen Arataka….
But she was there in his arms.
Not Reigen's.
"I know….you're always there for me…you'll always be there for me…no matter what…" said Mob. She raised her head up and rested it on his collar bone. She looked up at him through her bangs. He looked down at her. She could feel him breathing. She could feel him right there beside here…and it was so nice…
"No matter what…" said Serizawa. It was true. No matter what she did, no matter how badly she hurt him, he would always be there for her. Was that…was that ok? He wanted to be with her always but…but it still hurt. He was done hiding in his room. He was done being distant from her. Even if he did want to hide in his room and play videogames until he didn't even remember who he was….he couldn't. He had her to take care of. She made him work for what he was…and that was a good thing. Even if she had hurt him in the process it was a good thing…because she still made him a better person….and he still loved her…
"Exactly. You'll always be there for me. Even now you're here for me. Even before when my mom was hitting you with her ring hand you were there for me." Said Mob
"Well it is my apartment…" said Serizawa trying to break the tension. It didn't work. He could see it in her eyes, in her aura.
"Our apartment. It's our apartment and I wasn't about to go and leave you here all alone anyway. I'd let your mother hit me with her ring hand for as long as she wanted so long as you…as you were happy." Said Serizawa
"I wasn't happy that my mom was hitting you….that would be a terrible thing to be happy about…" said Mob
"No, I know that you weren't, but you would have been even more upset if I had gotten into a fight with your mother. I meant what I said, Mob, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I don't want to make enemies of either of your parents if I'm going to be spending my life with you. That would…you love your parents and I could never drive a wedge between you and them…more so than I already have." Said Serizawa
"You didn't. Master Reigen did by telling them." Said Mob
"Yes but…but it wasn't going to be a secret forever…was it? You said that once you're an adult-" said Serizawa
"I am an adult." Said Mob
"I meant that once you became a legal adult then you would tell them. That's what you said, remember?" asked Serizawa. That had to have been true. She had to have been telling him the truth then. Otherwise…it hurt, that she had been keeping it a secret, but he knew that she had a very good reason. Her mother had made her displeasure at the age thing quite clear…and she was quite strong, too….
"Yes….that's what I said. I remember. That's why…that's why I'm upset that Master Reigen…why would he try and get me in trouble like that?" asked Mob
"….he was hurt. People say and do the most terrible things when they've been hurt…" said Serizawa. That was the truth of it all, if Reigen had been telling the truth about his part in the whole thing. Serizawa tried his best to see the whole thing from Reigen's point of view. Reigen loved Mob, had no idea that she was Serizawa's girlfriend, and then when he finally thinks that he has her, the most amazing girl in the world, she's torn from him by his best friend…
And then he and his best friend got into a fistfight.
"I'm hurt! I'm hurt by what he did….and it hurts so much…" said Mob. She sniffled again. Serizawa reached up and played with her hair like she was a cat. He tried to see it from her point of view, too. She had been in love with Reigen and then the opportunity….he stopped trying to see it from her point of view. Seeing it from her point of view meant seeing it…and that was not something that he ever wanted to see. That was not something that he ever wanted to think about. Reigen touching her. Reigen making her happy…as happy as Serizawa had made her…could make her…
"I'm here." Said Serizawa as he ran his fingers through her hair. Mob sighed into his touch. No matter what happened he would always be there for her….
He would always love her.
"That's why….that's why I love you. You'll always be there for me…and I love you for that…" said Mob. She reached down and touched her hand to his. He pulled away, startled for a moment, but quickly reached down and took her hand before she could be hurt. He had just been surprised….but that made no sense. Of course she would want to hold his hand…she was his girlfriend.
His. Not Reigen's.
"I-I'm sorry about…about what happened. It's not all bad though. I mean Reigen did tell your mother but…but we're still together…." Said Serizawa. He held her hand in his. Maybe if he held her hand for long enough he could understand her. Why it bothered her. It did bother him a little, that Reigen would have tried to sabotage his relationship with Mob like that, actually that hurt more than a little….but the outcome hadn't been that bad. Aside from the fact that her parents were angry with her and she had that fight with her brother….aside from all of that it had ended well…because they were still together.
And they always would be.
"We still are. That's…that's right. Even though mom and dad got mad at me, and I had that fight with Ritsu, we're still together. You still love me. I still have someone who loves me….you. You love me and I love you." Said Mob. It went both ways, the love they shared. She had to be there for him or else he would lock himself in his room and live in the dark and not shower ever and he had to love her or else she'd be all alone. Master Reigen didn't want to be with her….anyway….and it hurt that he had betrayed her…but he had been hurting her a lot lately…
But Serizawa hadn't.
She leaned up and kissed just under his chin. He sat up stick straight and stared down at her.
"Mob…?" asked Serizawa. She hadn't tried to initiate anything since…Reigen. Neither had he. There was just this…thing….between them now. There was this big, insurmountable, thing between the two of them…and she wanted it gone, it seemed. She had taken…she had taken a step towards….
Did he want that?
"Do you…I'm sorry. I just…I love you and I feel really….not good…and you always make me feel good…and we love each other…and I want us to…I just want to feel close to you I guess…" said Mob. That was the closest approximation to what she felt. She didn't know how she could verbalize the feelings that grew within her…but she still tried…
"I'm right here, we are close." Said Serizawa. He was holding her in his arms. She was so tiny….she fit right there….and he was holding her….but was that enough? It had been a while for him and he…he loved it when they made love. He loved the way she felt…the way she sounded….the way she tasted….the way she smelled…the way she looked….he loved every single part of the love making process and he loved spending it with her….doing it with her….
"Is this ok, then?" asked Mob as she kissed the side of his neck again. The spot he liked. The spot that used to make him gasp and shudder and hold her close. He seemed sort of…different…now…
"Do you want….do you want this?" asked Serizawa. He had no idea what he wanted in that moment. She knew him, she knew his body, and she knew what that particular spot did to him….and it still did it for him….the made that low sound he made when he liked what she did…
"I do, that's why I'm doing this. Do you want this, Serizawa? I can stop if you want me to." Said Mob. Serizawa didn't think, he just kissed. He pulled her up and kissed her as hard as he could. She melted into him.
Good.
He tried not to think about the fact that she had most likely kissed Reigen. She had kissed him and touched him and made him feel good and told him that she loved her. He tried not to think about what happened. He tried not to think about the fact that she was probably thinking about what happened. She was kissing him but she was probably thinking about Reigen. How much she loved him. How much she missed him. How much she wanted to be with him.
She was kissing him back. Her eyes were closed. One of her hands was tangled in his hair, the other rested on his chest just over his heart.
She could feel his heartbeat, probably. He reached over and felt hers. Her heart was going a mile a minute….but for who? Not him. He knew that it couldn't be him. Even though she had just said how much she loved him…it didn't change what had happened. He wasn't enough for her. He had never been enough for her. She still loved Reigen. She had still shared herself with Reigen…
He was probably imagining it. He swore that she tasted like….but he was imagining it.
"Why'd you stop?" asked Mob. She had been kissing him, and it had been nice, but then he had just sort of gone all nonresponsive. She was in his lap, now, and her head rested above his head. She could hear it, she could feel it, and it was hers. It was hers and hers was his and she had no reason to wish that he…that he was…
Master Reigen had rejected her. Master Reigen had told her mom on her. Master Reigen had…she still missed him so much…
What was that MATTER with her!?
"No reason, just thinking….thoughts. They don't matter. This matters. You matter. Mob…I love you so much…and I know that you love me too." said Serizawa. He wanted this. He wanted this with her. Even though she had…he had been working at getting over all of this. He had been trying to move forward. It had happened and now it was over. Time to move on. Time to forgive her and get back to the way that things had always been between them…
He loved her.
"I do, of course I do. You love me so I love you. That's how it works. I wouldn't lie about something like that." Said Mob lifting her head from his chest. He reached up and ran his hand through her hair. She loved him. She loved him and she wanted this and if she wanted this then he wanted this.
"Do you…do you want to…." Said Serizawa. He motioned to the bed when he couldn't find the words. That made no sense. He had lost count of how many times the two of them had made love. Why couldn't he just SAY it?
"I'd like that a lot." Said Mob. She climbed over him and laid down on the bed. His bed. Their bed. The bed that was in that room that they both shared together. That they hadn't shared, properly shared, in a while.
That they would share.
It took him a moment to climb up there and lay next to her. She turned on her side to face him. He was looking up at the crack in the ceiling.
"We did that, I think." Said Serizawa. The crack looked worse than I ever had been before.
"It was like that when we got here." Said Mob following the path his eyes took to the ceiling.
"It's worse now, I think." Said Serizawa. He frowned. It looked deeper, and the pain was starting to peel off. He saw her out of the corner of his eye. She was looking at it too. She had been the one to notice it back when they had first started….this. Their relationship.
"It's not broken though." said Mob. She felt like, maybe, they were talking about more than the crack in the ceiling. She was bad at things like that, talking sorts of things, and she didn't see the need for talking in what they were about to do. That wasn't nice though, was it? Her wanting him to just get on with it? Master Reigen had gotten right to it-
Stop thinking about him!
He rejected her. He betrayed her. He told on her to her mom. None of those things were ok.
"You're right….you're right…" said Serizawa. She rolled onto her side, now, and so did he. They faced each other. She was looking up at him through her bangs. He brushed them out of her eyes. His hand lingered, there, on her forehead before going downwards. Across her forehead, across the shell of her ear, down the side of her face, and to the bow of her lips. She kissed his thumb, her eyes never leaving his.
Her hand reached over and played with the hem of his shirt. Ok. This was happening. He was ok with what was happening. Why wouldn't he be ok with it? He was her boyfriend. This was what people did when they were in a relationship.
"You can kiss me some more, if you want." Said Mob. That was a nice way to tell him to kiss her, she decided. She wanted to pull him close and to kiss him over and over again but he was being all weird. Why? They had done this a million times before, she guessed, she had lost count a while ago.
He didn't say anything back, he just kissed her. He kissed her and he ignored the fact that she had kissed Reigen. She had kissed Reigen before they started this and she had kissed him after they started this. He just kissed her. He pressed his lips to hers and he held them there. A kiss in the most basic sense of the word. The way she had kissed him, before, back when they first started. That first kiss had been the most beautiful, the second most beautiful, moment of his life. That first kiss had been so soft and sweet and so full of feeling…
This felt different.
Because he just couldn't get out of his own head!
She was deepening the kiss now. She parted her lips and he did the same. She tasted like herself. She tasted like she always tasted and he was just to fixated on the fact that she had kissed Reigen and that was why he was imagining-
He pulled her close.
He needed to get off of this. He pulled her close and tried to roll onto his back. It took her a moment to understand, he thought, or maybe she just didn't want to. Maybe she wanted to roll back to her side of the bed and tell him that she didn't feel like it or she wanted to do something else or be somewhere else or-
He needed to stop being so weird about this.
"Do you want me to be on top? I know you like that…" said Mob as Serizawa rolled onto his back. She wanted to make him happy and he usually was so happy when they did this but now he was just being…weird.
"….sure…" said Serizawa. She climbed on top of him, her hips at either side of her thighs. She was still dressed, which he usually liked, and he liked now….he did. He leaned her down and kissed her some more. One hand on her back, the other on her thigh, and his mind miles and miles away. Where it shouldn't have been.
He tried to drag himself back into the moment. He tried to focus on the little mewing sounds she was making, now, as his hand moved from her thigh to the wet junction between her legs. He pushed down where she liked, moved the way she liked, and made her mew and beg and plead for him to keep going.
He did.
He liked it. He knew that he liked it when she sounded like this. He knew that he liked it when she asked him for this, asked him to keep going, and told him that he was doing a good job. He liked it when she rocked back and forth against him. He liked this. He liked this a lot.
He wanted this.
"Wait…like this….I like this." said Mob. She put her weight more on her knees and slid her underwear off with her powers. She was feeling kind of gross, then, with them on. He liked it when she was wearing clothes, she didn't understand why, but she wanted to make him happy. Maybe it was a boy thing. Master Reigen hadn't gotten her all the way undressed either….
Stop thinking about him.
She sat back down the way she had been. Her knees against his thighs, the blanket all bunched up under her and kind of uncomfortable and his hand up her skirt. She sat all the way back, she had been leaning on him before, and she could feel him under her. This was weird. He felt like he wanted this but his face and his aura were being all…weird.
"I'm glad…" said Serizawa. He went back to it. This was just what she liked. He knew what she liked. He knew…and so did Reigen. Reigen had touched her like this. Reigen had touched her and made her feel good and now she was surely thinking about him. She was probably wishing that Serizawa was him even though she said that she loved-
"I love that!" said Mob. There. Right there. He wasn't…Master Reigen had his own way of doing that and it had been amazing but this was good too. It was good and she needed to stop thinking about Master Reigen, especially not while this was happening, because she was Serizawa's girlfriend and she loved him and-
"I love you." Said Serizawa as she came apart. He loved her. He loved her and he loved this. He loved the way she said his name over and over again. He loved the way her thighs shook as she finished. He loved the way her nails dug into his wrist and her eyes screwed shut and his fingers made that mixing macaroni sound as he kept on going because she still liked this and she would push his hand away when she was done and she wasn't done yet even though he could feel her soaking through his pants and-
"I love you too! Let me…let me ride it through…." Said Mob. She kept on moving. It felt different, he hadn't been inside of her at all that time, but it still felt good to keep on moving during. While it happened. It lasted longer. It had felt like a lifetime, before, when she had-
Stop thinking about him. Just stop it.
Serizawa stopped. She was finished finishing. He stopped moving. She had never said that before….ever…why had she said it now? It felt like someone dropped a bucket of ice on him. She had…she had never said that before in the history of their entire relationship. Maybe she had heard that somewhere or read that somewhere or seen that somewhere or…
Or from someone.
Suddenly he wants to be alone more than anything else in the world. He had just heard her tell her mother how much she loved him…how she wanted to always be with him….and at the time it felt so good, being able to believe her, but now he….he wasn't sure. Now he was remembering what happened and it hurt to remember and she was right THERE and he wanted to be with her, he always wanted to be with her, but also….but now he just wanted to be away from her and just to sit in the dark and be alone because the world was much too big and she was much too there and he just did not know what to do.
"Are you ok? You've been all…like this." said Mob. He was looking away from her. He was looking away and had pulled his hand away and now she was just…there. Just there on top of him. She felt cold.
"I-I'm fine. I just…I'm tired. It's been a lot for me today." Said Serizawa
"Oh…does that mean that you don't want to?" asked Mob. Her fingers found the top button of his pants. He shook his head.
"I'm sorry." Said Serizawa. He could not share himself with her, and that was that best way to phrase it, right then. He just…he had thought that he could get over this. He thought that he would be able to just get up and hose himself off and get back to normal…and he had tried. He could spend his life with her, marry her, have children with her but this….maybe because this was les abstract. All of those things were for the future. This was now. This was happening now and he…he was just not ready.
"It's ok! You shouldn't apologize just because you don't feel like it right now." Said Mob. She rolled off of him and laid down on her side of the bed. She had wanted to feel close to him and she did and now it was ok. They were ok. He was there and they were ok and she had no reason to still feel bad about Master Reigen or feel like she missed him or anything like that. He had betrayed her and he had rejected her.
"It's not…it's not just about right now. It's just…I don't know when I'll feel ok about this. I just don't know….I love you. I love you and I want to share myself with you-" said Serizawa
"You've never called it that before." Said Mob softly
"I know…but that's what it feels like. When we do this I feel like I'm sharing myself with you and you're sharing yourself with me…but I just….you did this with Reigen. You did this beautiful, wonderful, amazing thing with Reigen and I just-" said Serizawa
"I don't want to talk about this." said Mob. No. She was done talking about what had happened. It had happened and now it was over and they could all just get on with their lives. Yes, she had messed up. Yes, she had hurt him. She had been hurt too, though. She had been hurt when he rejected her for the first time, hurt when she realized that she could have been with him, hurt because she had hurt Serizawa, and it had just been so much hurt and she was just…she did not want to think about what she did for another second!
"I know! I just…I don't….I do want to talk about…I don't know. I'm just…I just can't help but think about what happened and I've been trying to forget and move past this because I love you and you love me but you also love him and I-" said Serizawa
"I don't want to talk about what happened with Master Reigen anymore. I…he doesn't even like me anymore. He's mad at me because I couldn't tell that he…that he loved me…and he's mad that I'm with you and…and he told my mom on me and-" said Mob
"I don't want to talk about it either. I mean…it happened and I know that you're sorry and that you'll never do it again but…I don't know. This is just kind of hard for me right now." Said Serizawa
"…are you mad at me?" asked Mob
"No. I could never be mad at you, Mob. I love you. I just feel…I feel a lot of things right now. I'm happy that I made you happy but…I love you but…if you really want to have sex then we can…" said Serizawa. Mob shook her head as best she could from where she was laying down.
"No. Not if you don't want to. I would never make you do that if you didn't want to. We can do something else. We can play a game or watch TV or finish dinner or….anything." said Mob. She reached up and clasped her hand around his. She smiled a little. It took him a moment to smile back.
"Um….I think…I think I want to…I think I'll take a bath." Said Serizawa. She was pressing her hand to her face. She was looking at him like he was the answer to all of her hopes and dreams. He had just made her as happy as one human being could make another. He…he also needed to be alone. He needed to be alone but…but that was wrong.
Or maybe he just needed to take a shower.
He kissed her, got up, and ran himself a warm shower. He didn't get in, he just ran it. On the way to the bathroom he grabbed his phone. He sat, fully dressed, on his laundry hamper as his bathroom filled up with steam. He could hear, through the door, the EVA theme song as well as the scrape of a fork against a plate. She was watching TV and having dinner. God he loved her…
He loved her.
So why did it feel so…not good.
He clicked hi phone opened. He had told Reigen that he accepted his apology. He…he missed Reigen. He missed Reigen and he was upset that…he was upset about everything that happened. It didn't have to happen. Reigen didn't have to sleep with Mob. He didn't have to go and betray him and Mob…and Mob considered it a form of betrayal. Serizawa didn't care if her parents knew about them right now. It hadn't been-
He caught sight of himself in the mirror.
That was turning into a black eye. He could see scratches, a lot of them, from her mother's ring. Her mother had slapped him around. Her father would probably do worse. Maybe they should have waited…because it was one hell of an age gap…but he loved her. He had nothing to offer her but his love. She was all he had, really, when it came to things like this. He wanted…he wanted to be able to forgive her.
And Reigen.
And he just wanted this whole thing to be over with.
He sighed and rested his head in his hands. What was wrong with him? He should have been happy. He had her. He had her and she was his and he was hers…but it still hurt. This whole thing still hurt…and not just his face from where her mother had slapped him. This whole thing just hurt so much and he just…he didn't know.
He just did not know.
Mob did not know what was wrong with Serizawa.
He said that he wasn't mad at her but he acted like he was. He was still bothered about what happened with Master Reigen. That made sense. She had hurt him. She had hurt him and she hadn't even been thinking about it. But she was thinking about it now. She couldn't taste what she was eating, she had no idea what episode of EVA she was watching, all she could think about was the sound of the running water and him on the other side of that door…being all sad…
She had messed up.
She messed up and she didn't know what to do. He seemed like he was getting better but…but maybe it wouldn't be over that fast. Maybe this would be the sort of thing that would take a while. Well she was prepared to work at this. She had to. She didn't have anyone else to love her. She…she had lost the person who-
That person betrayed her.
Anger chased away worry. Master Reigen had betrayed her and…and that was not ok. That was not ok and she wanted to…to talk to him. Just talk. It had nothing to do with how much she missed him. It had nothing to do with how much she still cared about him. She was mad at him, that was all, and she wanted to…to talk to him. So that was what she was going to do. She had to see him, to talk to him, and it would be ok because she was mad at him for telling on her.
She wasn't going to do anything but see him…and talk.
Mob got up before she changed her mind. She got up and knocked on the bathroom door.
"I'm going out for a little bit. I'll be back later."
