I don't say anything. Too much has happened in one day. I just clutch Len's hand. I want to lean against his chest but I don't think Mayu knows, so I don't. She eventually does walk back in, and I let go of Len's hand, but he doesn't let go of mine.

Mayu looks calm again. "It's already happened, then?" Len nods.

"I'll be taking my leave. Goodbye." She says and she's gone.

It all happened too soon. I look at him and his eyes are closed. "I'm sorry..." I say quietly. His eyes pop open again and he takes his feet off of the table. He sits up straight and looks at me, now holding both of my hands. "It's not your fault."

"None of this would have happened if I wasn't here. Y'know?" I shake my head. "No use in crying. Everything is done." I learned that the hard way. He plants a kiss on my cheek before he stands up.

"That's one of the reasons I love you, you know. You're so strong." He smiles at me, but his eyes look tired. I walk over to him and he looks away. "I love you," I whisper.

"I love you, too," He looks at me again and kisses my forehead. We walk back into the room after he throws away his bottle. He still sleeps on the couch and I get the bed.

We're separated a lot more, now. Mayu is gone and she did any shopping that was needed. Len usually does the shopping because I'd probably buy everything that looked good to me. It's been a week since we saw Mayu. Or at least, for me. I wonder how she's doing.

Once Len gets back from the marketplace today, we're going on a walk. I told him I'd tell him more of my story. But when we gets home, he's not alone. Mayu… is with him. And he looks upset. I stand up and ask Len what's wrong, but he only looks at Mayu and she speaks up.

"Kaito betrayed me. He knows everything." She seems out of breath after these two sentences and I'm stunned.

"What?"

"He's with our father, and he knows everything about you! I'm sorry, I-"

Len looks angrier than me. His eyes meet mine, and they're filled with sadness. I hold my hand up and tell her it's alright.

She looks like she's about to cry. 'I'm so sorry. I just turned on both of you, and…" She stops talking. She looks at both of us, going back and forth between Len and me. She stops on me. "How's it going?"

"What do you mean?"

She shrugs. "Nevermind."

That was weird. Why did she bother asking?

She looks at Len and smiles. We both look worried and she walks over to me and throws her arm over my shoulder. "Hey, Rin?"

"Um… yeah?"

"How would you like to be executed? Daddy wants to know!"
