"Was I in the park? Yes."
"Well, what did you see? Tell me, tell me!"
She's so excited. So excited at the thought of Dark rescuing her. It would break her heart to know he didn't.
"I saw you. You were unconscious and being carried."
"Yes, and Dark-sama?" Such a fangirl.
"I don't remember much of Dark." Perhaps because he wasn't there.
"Well, what happened?"
"He laid you on the bench and put his jacket over you." The one that now lays over my arm. Put the pieces together Risa, for all of our sakes. It wasn't Dark!
"Do you remember anything else? About him? Did he say anything? Did his face betray anything?"
"He leaned forward, and your faces were close together." I stop and turn to face her, bringing our faces close. The girl's eyes get big but she doesn't move, spellbound.
"Like this. Then he moved closer, you were still asleep-" She closes her eyes, as if reliving the experience entirely, and I move closer.
"He gave you the lightest of kisses," My lips brush her forehead and I feel her start as if I've shocked her. "And then he walked away." I finish, stepping away and beginning to walk off.
"He appeared to be in considerable pain." I add quietly and she doesn't surprise me by saying,
"Poor Dark-sama."
"He appeared to be in considerable pain. I never said anything about Dark."
"What?" She looks at me oddly and my attention returns to the street, clamming into my shell again. I've said too much and now she's curious. I can't let her find out Dark didn't save her.
"Nothing. Don't worry, I'm sure he still thinks of you."
She smiles, and it comes to my attention how pretty she is when she does.
"I'm sorry about the... what I said. Thank you for telling me about that night."
"Hm."
Back to the single-syllable I. Risa heads off, thinking she has just unearthed some great finding in Dark and her's relationship. But Dark never rescued her.
Dark never came to see if she was all right.
I didn't tell her that she cried in her sleep, or how she kept yelling that Krad was evil and why wouldn't Dark save her? She calmed down after 'he' kissed her.
'He'.
'I'.
But she'll never know will she?
