She looked at me with surprise, eyes wide in astonishment. Yet, the underlying expression was not that of satisfaction, happiness, it was fear. Fear for me, fear for my life. I walked forward one step, she retreated one. Her lips moved in a questioning form asking why. I couldn't explain that. I knelt down on my knees, hands dangling at my sides. I was drowning in a pool of water, a pool of sorrow, and she couldn't save me. Countless times had I wondered why I did what I did, but there was no answer. No sunshine in the dark hole I was trapped in. No moment of revelation. Nothing. She turned and walked away.
"I don't know why, Hilde. I just don't."
"Neither do I, Duo…neither do I." She said looking at me once more before walking away. I felt weird…I felt strange. I became a foreigner in her eyes.
