Complete Control- Act IV
Scene One: Sphere of the Twilight- Palace: Balcony outside of Enid's main office
King Yama kindly decides to leave his son at his own thoughts…and perhaps come back to them someday later…maybe not TOO late…
Yama: Perhaps I should give you time to think things over…
He starts to walk away, back to his own domain, when he hears other voices. He looks down at the balcony and sees Ayane with Rey.
Enid's gaze fixed upon the two, watching as Ayane and Rey talked and argued.
Yama: It is her, then?
Enid: (Surprise) Father!
Yama: (Smiles) You've turned red…(Laughs)
Enid: …
Yama: So it is her that you like…
He watches with Enid as Ayane and Rey start arguing. Ayane walks off, but is blocked by Rey. He wrapped his arms around her waist and backs her into the wall, pulling her towards him for a kiss. Enid turns around to walk away, not bothering to see anymore.
Yama: So…she and Rey…(He looks at Enid kindly, knowing how his son felt right then) I know you and Ayane knew each other since you were small, but I never knew you—
Enid: Father, that's enough!
Yama: …
Enid: I came too late…I didn't have enough time to talk about it with her…then Rey came into the picture, so I just didn't …
Yama: (Smiles) I understand, son…I understand. (He pats Enid on the shoulder) But sometimes…you just have to move on…think of something else…I'm sure you'll get over this in no time…because you are my son…and I know you are strong…(Smiles again)
Enid: Father…
Yama: Well then, seems like I've taken up enough of your time, I have to attend a meeting tonight…
With that, King Yama leaves the balcony; leaving Enid stuck with his own thoughts. He was King Yama's son…he was strong…just like his father…he had the power in his veins. He could let his work and superiority surpass any of the feelings he had…right?
Scene Two: Sphere of the Twilight-Palace: Ayane's Room (Balcony)
Ayane: hm…
Rey: (He starts to nibble on her neck)
Ayane: (Laughs quietly) I never knew you were—
Rey: Shush…(Smiles as he lays his finger at her lips)
Ayane: Hn…(She kisses him on the cheek)
Rey: (Hugs her) You idiot. You said you weren't cold when you were shivering…who did you think you're fooling? (Smiles) What were you thinking of?
Ayane: Nothing…I just didn't want to…
Rey: …You wanted to avoid this…
Ayane: …avoid…what?Rey: I think you know, Aya…don't you?
Ayane: …
He starts kissing her once he pinned her against the wall. Unable to resist, she wraps her arms around his neck once she breaks free of his soft grip on her wrists.
Suddenly, she breaks away from him with a look of surprise and horror.
Rey: What is it? Did something happen?
Ayane: …Rey, I hope you aren't thinking of something perverted…
Rey: Hee…maybe I am…maybe I'm not…
Ayane: You idiot! Stop thinking like that!
Rey: Hee…so, what was it that stopped you now…?
Ayane: Erm…Enid…he's right behind us…
Rey: What…?
He turns to see Enid staring in their direction. But before any of them could gesture a wave or greet him, Enid turns and leaves the balcony.
Ayane: You think he saw us?
Rey: I don't know, I think he did…
Ayane: Holy…
Rey: Mind your language…(Frowns in a joking manner)
Ayane: That was your entire fault! What do we do now?
Rey: Why is it my fault now? Besides, now that the truth is out, we could have fun…(He looks at her for a moment) Why do you want out being together a secret?
Ayane: I just…don't think I'm ready for this kind of commitment…not yet…
Rey: When will you be ready, Aya? Tell me…because I'm sure I'm ready for anything right now…(Smiles)
Ayane: (Groans) Rey…
Rey: (He walks past her) I get that you aren't ready for this…but I want you to know…whenever you need me; I'll be there… (He reaches for her and wraps his arms around her as before and whispered into her ear, smiling.) I'll wait for you…always.
Rey leaves the balcony and Ayane is left to think over her thoughts and feelings.
She walks back to the edge of the balcony, staring into the sky and wondering what to do next…
