She walked slowly into the park and sat on a bench. What am I going to do? What am I going to tell everyone? She started crying and suddenly a voice said, "Are you ok?" And Shizuru looked up to see a handsome man looking concernedly down at her.
"I'm fine," Shizuru said through her tears. "Well you don't look fine," the man said, "my name is Kurai. And I don't like see beautiful women cry…"
He sat on the bench next to her and took her hand. "I hope you don't mind the familiarity, but I'd like to get to know you. You seem like somebody worth talking to."
And Shizuru talked to him. She left out all of the weird stuff, like the Dark Tournament, but she told him about how she fell in love with a businessman who wasn't exactly a good guy. And about how he had committed suicide in front of her. And she cried as she told the story and was comforted by the strange man.
"That's really sad," Kurai said. "I'm sorry that you had to go through that, I hope that I can make you feel better."
"Talking about it made it feel somewhat better," smiled Shizuru through her tears.
"Would you like to go to a movie or something?" asked Kurai.
"I guess so," Shizuru said.
