The darkness encompassing her felt familiar. She had once taken a step off an imaginary cliff and seen the same face of panic on her senpai as she fell and let the darkness claim her. That time she had been afraid,she had heard his voice back then telling her not to step back, not to be scared but she had still taken the leap to prevent him from seeing the feelings plainly written on her heart.

She had never imagined the possibility that one day he'd know, that he'd have similar feelings for her and that an elevator and dressing room would change their lives forever. "I can't tell you exactly when I'll be able to reach my goal but I can promise you this. No matter where I go, my heart will always be yours" he'd told her that day as he put his necklace over her head and sealed the promise of them being together, be that the next day or years ahead as they'd continue to pursue their dreams before anything else.

Ren had told her to keep it in its proper place, and had never expected to have a bigger regret than Rick's death on his conscience. But those words, those simple words and gesture to keep it over her heart would haunt him just as much as the look of fear on her face as his fans pried her from his arms and took her away in a fit of rage for having his heart.

He had seen her mouth move but couldn't hear her over the roaring in his ears, and the adrenaline in his body wouldn't let him read her lips. Not even noticing the redness tinting his vision, Kuon fought his way to save her just to be a few heartbeats too late and see her falling, the wind sweeping her hair around her porcelain face as tears trailed after her falling body.
