After my long lecture, Tatsuya sat silently, staring down in the boat.
I waited for him because I knew what I said was a lot. He must be taking it in and turning it over in his mind... At least, I hope he is. And I hope he realizes he shouldn't try locking me up in a cage in his basement.
"Ahem, so—" Not being able to take the silence anymore, I spoke only to be interrupted.
"Must I give up on the one thing I truly want?" Tatsuya muttered through gritted teeth. I pursed my lips before answering.
"No, but you just can't have it with me." I spoke slowly and as gently as I could. "If you give others a chance, I'm sure you could find—H-Hey! Woah!" Tatsuya suddenly stood up in the boat. My eyes widened as I felt it start to tip over.
"Tatsuya! Sit—"
And I was in water.
Uwah, gotta get to the top! I barely know how to swim!
I managed to pop my head above the water and take a breath before I was pulled back down.
