There, of course, was a long goodbye. Meiling didn't want to leave Lei alone again. Afraid that he might dissapear. Lei reasured her he would be fine and would see her again tomorrow, or some time soon if not then.
After kissing her goodbye and watching her walk inside her house, Lei stepped down from the porch and began home. He tried his best not to think of what had been happening to him while he was gone. He shoved it to the back of his mind... he had, in a way, enjoyed what had happened.
The stars were lovely tonight. Lei looked up to them. It was like a silk black blankey spread over the Earth, with white rose petals sprinkled all around it. The air even smelled lovely. Lei decided that he liked this feeling of calmness better than the feeling of... wildness...
Ah! That was it then! His theory was true. You have two sides to you. If the side of him, when injected with the fluid, showed this... wild creature who plotted destruction and... unspeakable things... then that made Lei a good man, right?
Lei smiled to himself. Yet, he sighed. He couldn't ever show anyone this theory. Ask somebody to go through what he had gone through in that month of hell. He shivered at the thought.
There was a figure ahead of him. With a cane and white tux. Eriol. Lei stopped and tilted his head in curiosity. "Eriol? What are you doing at my porch?"
"Well, my dear fellow!" Eriol said with a grin. Lei feared yet liked this grin. It meant Eriol was up to something fun... but one of them could be in toruble for it. In this case, it was Xiulang. "There is a show just within walking distance. Yes yes I know it is against your moral judgement to look to other women other than your own for some... veiwing pleasure. But I swear, whatever hell you have been through it would help pass it by."
"Eriol, you are right.. I am a moral man... and this goes against my judgement and comitment to Meiling."
"Who says I would tell her? Come on, this one on me!" A warm smile spread across Eriols face... and Lei sighed, thought a moment, and eventually just started walking towards to theatre.
Through the whole trip, Eriol kept trying to ask where Lei had been. Not directally, but in his tricky way. With questions like, 'Meet any new people while you were out?' or 'How was your month? Aw, not so good, what happened?'
Xiulang was releave to get to the theatre. Eriol sat himself and Lei in one of the front tables... closest to the stage. He orded two drinks, not virgin mind you, and waited.
Lei wouldn't look at the stage. No one was performing yet, but he refused to look at it. This was going against his judgement to look at another woman. So even the stage was a disgrace to look at.
The lights dimmed on, and there was a voice behind the curtain. Men and boys all stood and cheered! Except for Eriol and Lei. Lei sat with his cheek in his palm and facing away from the stage. Eriol was leaning back in his chair and looking from Lei to the curtains. Chuckling...
