Key 02 - Song
It happened in a flash.
Eric died.
Then there goes one of them.
"What kind of place did you think it was gonna be?" Soma growled at Estella, his buster blade shoved upon her face.
As he withdrew his God Arc, he analyzed the rookie's features; she had fresh bloodstains on her uniform and a frown on her face. Soma turned his back on her. If she couldn't handle something like this then she wasn't cut out to be a Gods Eater.
"Just kidding.. Time's up. Let's go, rookie." he paused for a bit before continuing, "If you don't wanna die.. Just stay out of my way as much as possible."
Soma raised an eyebrow when he heard some shuffling behind him and looked over at the new girl, Estella Yuuki, she was kneeling beside Eric's corpse. Her God Arc placed on the ground.
"What the hell are y-"
She looked at Soma and smiled, a finger on her lips, emphasizing him to be quiet. She looked back at Eric's corpse; his eyes were still open with horror etched in them. Grimacing, Estella proceeds with taking off his glasses and putting it in her pocket. She then takes her hand and brushes his eyes to a close, blood staining her hand in the process. She clasps her hands together, closing her eyes briefly.
"May Eric der Vogelweid requiscere to the heavens above."
Her next course of action however, was uncalled for, in Soma's case.
She sang.
And damn.
Soma couldn't help but to think that her song sounded so familiar.
Obviously, it was a dirge. Soma knew that he had heard it before, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Soma kept his eyes on the rookie, looking around every now and then, his guard up for any more signs of wandering aragami. He stared blankly at her singing form. It wasn't that it was a terrible song. It wasn't even annoying either. It was a haunting one and, as much as he hated to admit it, she sang it beautifully.
"Are you done now?" he asked her as soon as she finished singing.
She didn't spare him a glance but he knew she was listening.
"Yes."
Estella got up, picked up her God Arc, readied her stance and walked ahead of Soma.
Soma stared at her back; she didn't look the least perturbed by his lack of comment. Then, for one last time he took a glance at Eric's corpse.
He looked peaceful.
