"I'm an idiot."

Fakir was blaming himself for her injuries lately. He was sitting by Ahiru's side the whole day in the infirmary, missing all of the classes. She still hadn't fully recovered, nor had she woken up. The blood finally stopped and her heartbeat settled, at least.

"Why? Why does Envy keep on coming back and taking Ahiru away? What does she want me for? …Maybe I should disappear. For Ahiru's sake." He thought negatively, head resting on his hands.

Fakir stood up absentmindedly and walked out the door, too lost in his thoughts.

"Ahiru has a disadvantage, since she's still a duck. Maybe it's better if I do give up my life."

He arrived at the graveyard in front of his parents' graves. Fakir was drowning in his thoughts so much that he didn't notice how or when he got there. Falling to his knees, he fainted.

"If I vanish like I never existed, you'll be happy, right?"

Ahiru's eyes fluttered open slowly, her vision gradually becoming clearer.

"Mmm…when did I get here?" she asked herself. Ahiru noticed the bandages around her wait and stomach, and also that she couldn't move. Then, someone opened the door. It was Rue and Mytho.

"Oh, are you alright Ahiru?" Rue asked.

"How's your injury?" Mytho questioned.

She turned to them and smiled faintly.

"Yeah, I'm okay. What about Fakir? Where is he?" Ahiru started getting worried.

"Calm down. Last time I saw him, he was entering the graveyard. He looked pretty spaced out," Mytho answered.

An image flashed in her head of Fakir, his body bruised and his face washed with tears.

"Fakir…"

She rose from the bed that she slept on and collapsed onto the floor.

"Qua…quack!" she purposely shouted out loud. A bright light covered her body and she transformed back into a duck. Ahiru grabbed the white nightgown that she was wearing and tied it to her back,

"Whoa, Ahiru! Where are you going?" Rue asked, trying to pick her up.

Ahiru's feet were waddling out the open window next to her. Luckily, it was raining and she turned back into a human and put her clothes back on. She picked up a branch to support her.

"Wait, Ahiru!" Mytho shouted. It didn't help; she was walking away and faded into the mist.

Arriving at the graveyard, she noticed a limp figure on the ground. There he was. Fakir was lying in front of the graves, not seeming to be moving.

Ahiru dropped the branch and crawled over to him.

"F-Fakir," she cooed. Her hand was about to brush against his face when her surroundings were pitch black. Fakir wasn't there anymore, either.

"It was your fault, wasn't it?" a familiar voice asked. It was Fakir's feeling of curiosity. The shaking emotion appeared before her.

"Of course it was!" Angry shouted with disgust.

Love appeared, and it also had a concerned face.

Slap!

" YOU BASTARD!" Hate yelled at her. The fierce feeling had appeared in front of her and slapped Ahiru, leaving a visible red mark.

"IF FAKIR IS SO DAMN SMART, WHY DID HE CHOOSE A DUMBASS LIKE YOU TO FALL IN LOVE WITH?" Hate was going so out of control that a few emotions had to hold him down.

"I-I don't understand," Ahiru answered.

"He abandoned us," Love said, kneeling down to her eye level. "He wanted to protect you so badly that he sacrificed his heart in order to do it."

"What's the point in doing that? It was my fault that I was so weak and careless!" Ahiru retorted.

"Fakir didn't think of it that way," Love replied.

"If you want him to return to normal, disappear yourself," Angry said sterly, calming down.

"…Fine, I'll go away. But can I please see his face once more?" Ahiru requested. Love smiled and nodded.

All the emotions disappeared and the darkness faded. Fakir was lying where he was for the past moments.

"I'm sorry, Fakir," Ahiru said gently. Tears were falling from her eyes as she removed the necklace and tucked it under his hand.

Shimmer

She was a duck again, not able to turn back even if it was still raining.

Ahiru waddled up to his face and pecked his cheek. She moved backward a little and ran. The only things she left behind were her nightgown, the pendant, and yellow feathers drenched in the rain.
