Title: Coward
Day #17: Dennis Macfield knows that when Sora come to the Synchro Dimension that he is not on the Professor's orders.
Dennis Macfield knows that when Sora come to the Synchro Dimension that he is not on the Professor's orders.
Dennis knows too well what the Professor does to people he fail him. Sora would not have a third chance.
Academia's spies have been taught to be fanatically loyal, live for Academia and die for Academia. Their job is to smile and lie, worm their way through the system and tear it up from the inside. Dennis knows what it means to defy the Professor.
But when Dennis looks into Sora's eyes he sees no fear. There's desperation, yes, the idea of a predator becoming prey, but no fear. No fear of the Professor's wrath if he was caught. Just the worry that he can't save those he considered his friends.
Eyes that want to save and not destroy.
Dennis remembers when he was like that. When he sat next to a girl with long violet hair long ago and she told him about her dreams. He had thought that it was possible then. To run away and never look back.
When his duel disk activates and Dennis is teleported back to Academia, he understands.
He will always be a coward.
