It was fitting that their last meeting would be a rainy day in the park. It suited Eiri's dark nature and the inauspicious circumstances under which they had first met.
"I'm sorry. I know I haven't visited you in a long time. I'm not going to make any excuses, because I know you're not a dumbass. Unlike certain people I could name."
Staring at her as he let the cigarette dangle between his fingers, Eiri racked his brain, looking for what he wanted to say next. The speech he'd rehearsed this morning no longer sounded as good. Then again, his coffee addled thoughts had never really kept.
"Listen, it's not that I didn't care. We had a pretty good run. But the brat, he's starting to get suspicious." Her silence was aggravating, though he should have been used to the fact that she wasn't a talker. It had been one of her virtues.
Tossing the now damp cigarette to the ground, Eiri gritted his teeth. "Fuck it. The only reason I came back was because I wanted to actually see you for real. To lay my eyes on you one last time." The hot water on his face could only have been the rain. "And to give you one last embrace."
Wrapping his arms around her, Eiri savored the familiar sensation of the hard edges of her body and the sleekness of her metal and glass skin cold in the rain. "I'm sorry. You're a truly wonderful vending machine. If you sold cigarettes, you'd be perfect. But, I can't leave Shuichi for something that only sells pocky." He let go of her and wiped the rain water out of his eyes. "So long, dear friend." He looked at her one last time, view obscured by wet bangs before he turned his back on her forever.
