Lies.
The word echoed through his mind, bouncing off the walls of his skull. He didn't know exactly what she meant, but he knew that it was not something he wouldn't have ever wished for. It wasn't anything he had ever dared to think about, even. It wasn't something he could ever be able to think about...
"L-lies?" he said, finally gaining his senses. He did not want to be told what they were of. He wanted this all to be a dream, but he knew that would never happen.
"I'll tell you more, only if you wish to know more. If not, we can go back to how it was. But once I tell you, you can't go back. We won't try to stop you, but it's impossible." She held back her tears. Subaru could tell she was going through a hard time just telling this to him.
He realized his choices. He almost chose to go back, but then he realized that now that he knew that it wasn't the truth. He would never be able to go back, not even If he went right at that second.
"I want to learn. Tell me." He stood up tall, wiped the tears from his face, and looked up at Hokuto.
She looked at him straight in the eye, "Are you sure?" She asked as if she thought he would actually say "no", though they both knew his answer.
"I can't turn back either way. I might as well..." he sighed and then tried to hope for the best. It can't be too bad. It can't be worse than what has already happened. The words rippled throughout his mind, but they wouldn't stick. He knew what he was about to hear was worse.
"Well, Subaru. A lie is something that isn't true. Isn't real." she said the words slowly, and paused to check if Subaru was paying attention. He nodded and looked at her, even though he knew she knew he was listening. "You're whole life, all those memories and experiences, they've all been 'not real'. It has all been just a big... one big... huge..." she paused and bit her lip as she searched her brain for the right word. "Act."
Subaru was silent for a moment. Then, he whispered, "Like a script... a play..."
"Yes." Hokuto nodded.
There was silence. Then sobs were heard from Subaru. Hokuto looked away and tried thinking of something else. But soon, she was also in tears. "Subaru, I'm so sorry" she said in between sobs and sniffles, "I didn't want to, but... I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." They embraced eachother and cried. Neither tried to say anything, they just cried.
Finally, Subaru stopped for just long enough to think of something. His head shot up and he stared directly at Hokuto's red, teary eyes. "Then... Seishirou?!"
Hokuto stood silent for a while, repeating his words in her head. Then, she slowly shook her head as more tears streamed down her face. "He's alove, yes... but... he's not the same person you knew..."
This brought silence once again. Finally, Subaru said, "I don't care." Hestood up tall and said in a loud, strong voice, "I want to see him."
