Chapter 4
It's been a while. I've done nothing, honestly. Life has a way of slipping past you, sometimes. I can't say I proud of myself. We've been saving the innocent; thwarting the killer, braving the TV world, fighting shadows. But I'm still looking at Chie through a glass door.
Yu's not been helpful. He's been leading the charge in our little quests, our dives into the TV world. We've rescued a couple people now. Kanji Tatsumi and Rise Kujikawa. I should feel happy. But I just feel hollow around him. Chie's beginning to swoon a bit too much, now. I can't say I blame her. He's perfect. He's handsome, he's honest, he's never had to face his Shadow, probably because he has nothing to hide. He has everything Chie needs. And I'm just some girl with fan.
Today I talked with Yu. We were at the shrine. We were taking a break from some errands I had to do for the inn. I don't know how we got on the subject, but we did.
"How can you be so strong, Yu?"
He looked at me like I was crazy. I dropped it almost as quickly as I said it.
He walked me home after that. Of course he did, he's a gentleman. I'm just a heir to an inn.
