Chapter 2: Guilt and Desperation
Around the enormous vicinity of Tokyo, a man was vigorously yelling out a name…
He's looking for his companion whom he missed in the crowded city before the rain fell harshly.
"Chi! Anata wa doko desu ka!" the man called out on top of his voice competing with the noise created by the loud thuds of the large droplets of the heavy rain.
He ran back and forth stopping at every street…
He's looking for a woman desperately…
He had described his friend to almost everyone that he met… He asked them if they ever saw a woman resembling the description. To his disappointment, all the people that he asked could only shake their heads at him.
The rain was getting heavier than ever…
Every minute, people around him decreased in number…
Chi could still be found nowhere.
"Oh, where are you, Chi?" The man thought aloud. Even he himself could not hear his own voice for it was invaded by the deafening droplets of the heavy rain.
Is a storm coming?
Where's Chi?
Is she alright?
He's feeling all in… He was about to give up. Falling down to his hands and knees, he felt something he could not understand.
He felt something that was a lot more than despair…
There was…
GUILT!
Under the horrid weather, he found himself gnashing his teeth. His fury swarmed him…
Shouting loudly… louder than the noise created by the rain… he stood up and shouted.
"What kind of IDIOT I am!"
There were flashes of lightning followed by loud rumblings of thunder…
This is my entire fault!
I should have watched you more carefully.
Oh Chi, I need you by my side.
