"Listen to me, Seto!" she yelled, her voice echoing through the room, piercing over even the drone of the machines that seemed to have taken over the place. "Listen to me!"
He didn't even turn around; it was as if he wanted to forget she had ever been there in the first place, and the coldness in his voice when he finally spoke seemed only to confirm that.
"I already told you to leave," he hissed, his voice as icy as his cobalt eyes.
"I'm not leaving," she replied, her voice beccomming choked with the tears that had begun to well in her eyes. "It's not over… It can't be… I won't let you cast me aside like this!"
"Over?" he turned around this time, showing her, much to her agony, that there was an almost amused look on his face. "Over?" he repeated, "What's 'not over'? There was never anything between us in the first place, Minako."
Her heart shattered as he said those words, words even colder, even more emotionless than his eyes. She had thought them beautiful once, she truly had, but now she saw that they were nothing more than orbs of ice, clouded gateways to a broken soul. She stood there for a while, an eternity to her though it couldn't have been more than a few seconds in reality; she felt lifeless, like a doll, like the doll he had so plainly percieved her as being.
"You can't just cast people aside like this," she whispered. "We have emotions, all of us, no matter how hard you try to become this heartless android I know you aren't!
You're still human, Seto, you still have a heart; just put yourself in my place and try and imagine what it feels like to have your heart shredded to pieces." He had turned away from her again. "Seto? Seto! Look at me, damn it! Why are you doing this? And don't try telling me it's because we're too different; I've heard that excuse time and time again from you, I won't believe it, I can't! The Sun and Moon still bring light to the Earth even though they're different. The sides of a coin stay together because they're inverted. A mirror…"
"Shut up," he snapped, "I don't have time for this."
So cold… so cold… eyes of ice… a heart of ice. She felt the tears falling from her eyes.
"I love you, Seto, I really do; just remember that: maybe on day something will work out, when you finally come to your senses," Minako whispered, her voice now barely audible in shocking contrast to how it had been before. She left.
"Fool," he sighed as she slammed the door behind her. "I'm doing this because I love you; I just didn't want to hurt you anymore than I already have."
