CONQUER (verb)
: to win or obtain
He stood like an ivory tower; high, mighty and indestructible.
And for a moment, just a moment, she believed so.
The night blew dark brown bangs across marble features, the full moon reflected in his glass monocle. A clear diamond in white-clad hand.
He was in his element tonight and now that they have reached their quintessential climactic stage: the rooftop, where the night sky was his domain, he was assured a swift and unencumbered escape.
No one was going to stop him.
"My, my Meitantei-chan. You aren't even trying." The man in white laughed from his perch on his ledge.
It was true, she sighed. Not even she was going to stop him.
"Give White Tear back, Kid. It isn't what you're looking for."
He grinned but the shock was written in his purple irises. He leapt from his precarious position to her, leaning in, trapping her between him and the rooftop door.
"And what do you know about my search?" He challenged.
She unclasped the silver chain around her neck, a dark, ruby-brown pendant glistening in the moonlight.
"Everything." She sighed. This was exhausting.
She placed the necklace in his breast pocket.
Opening the door with White Tear inexplicably in hand, she forced herself to take the steps back down one at a time, ignoring the weight in her chest brought upon by the lack of pressure the pendant used to take place over her heart.
She had admitted defeat.
