Chapter 16: The Wink
It was another day, and Alice and Magenta had to visit their psychiatrist Light. Robin offered to keep guard on the two girls while the rest of the team try to figure out the mysteries of the murder of Marshall. When they got there, Robin was sitting in a chair as Alice and Magenta had their meeting.
Hopefully it doesn't take too long... Robin thought then he suddenly heard someone singing.
Struck by the rain when searching for you,
I shouted "I love, I love you"
But the sound of rainfall wipe away this voice
I can't reach you, but I don't care
Even it's break up
"I love, I love you"
It's just one easy word
but why I can't convey it to you
"That voice... Is that Emma's?" Robin asked to himself then he retraced his footsteps the last time he met Camellia. When he heard the voice getting louder, he saw Camellia in a room. She stared at herself in the mirror as she was wearing a nice light blue dress with ribbons attached to the end, her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she was still singing a song while twirling around.
There's rain outside, the same rain on the night at that day
It's like a lie if the time could forget that
Your joke, your sulk, handle me
When I realize, I remember the day with you
"Do you love me?"
is your favorite phrase
Deceive myself by laughing mischievously, I love you
You were crying just because a trivial problem
Struck by the rain
Enough, it's enough
I let go of your hand, the one that I love than everything
Let go of your tears and smile, you said "Bye bye" with your tearful voice
Your face that I love is look so painful With love, with sorrow, the sky was crying again
When was the beginning? I can't remember
I can't even tell the word "I love you"
Hey, can we still meet even now?
On this pocket, the vow that we didn't commit as our love
I'm coming to see you
Struck by the rain, I embrace you,
I shouted "I love, I love you"
With gentle smile I close my eyes silently
Right, I won't let go of those hands
with tearful voice, "I love, I love you"
It's just one easy word
but why I can't convey it to you early?
Please, can't you accept this ring?
"So you want me to accept a ring?" Robin asked then Camellia turned around then smiled.
"Oh, hello. I didn't think you would be coming back."
"Well, gotta stick with Alice and Magenta. Their my... Friends." Robin lied then Camellia tilted her head.
"I see... Must be nice to have friends..."
"You don't have friends?"
"I do. But it's just I don't have many friends. You know, friends outside of this building. Light gets scared if I go off by myself."
"Well he only worries because he cares."
"I know." Camellia said as she untied the ribbon in her hair and the light brown hair flowed down. Robin tilted his head and noticed that her bangs were covering her eyes.
"Hey..." He said, as he pushed his hand through her bangs which made the 12 year old girl jump back and squeak.
"W-what are you doing?"
"You can't see anyone with your bangs drooping over your eyes."
"No, stop! Please don't look at my eyes...!"
"Why?" Robin asked, pulling his hand back. Camellia looked down and Robin noticed that her cheeks were pink.
"I'm embarrass of my eye color..." She said then Robin chuckled.
"Why? I bet your eyes are nice. But if you hide them, nobodies gonna see them. And with your eyes covered, you can't see anyones' faces as well."
"Then why are your eyes covered...?" Camellia asked then Robin looked at her. He was surprised to how beautiful her eyes are.
Her eyes are like mine... Robin thought then Camellia looked up and winked at him.
"Well you got to see my eyes. I'd like to see your eyes."
She reached up but Robin stepped back and then cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry... But maybe some other time okay?"
"Aw~ No fair~!" Camellia whined then Robin waved his hands up and down.
"Now, now. You just caught me by surprise. I'll show you my eyes when the time is right."
Camellia sighed then she smiled.
"Fair enough." She said then she walked past Robin.
"Oh, did you know this old legend...?" She asked, looking back at Robin. Robin turned his head to face her.
"That if you get a wink from an angel your love will soon come." Camellia said then she giggled and winked at him. Robin chuckled turning his head back then Camellia slowly opened her eyes.
"But get a wink from the phantom... And you're next to die..." She said in a serious tone then before Robin could turn to face Camellia, she was gone.
