"Will you forgive me?" Yano looked at Lia with bright expectations.
"Either you say it or-"
"No, no, no! I'll say it!" Yano grabbed Lia by the hand, preventing her from leaving.
He smiled a bit as he rubbed the back of her hand with his thumb, Lia felt incredibly annoyed but the gentleness he showed, made her heart flutter lightly.
This feeling was banned as fast as lightning could even dare to grace heavens and it should never ever resurface again. Yet, Lia didn't pull her hand away.
"So, what is it?"
"Let's go somewhere else, ok?" this time Yano waited for Lia's permission before he did anything she'd dislike. Him being considerate actually touched her deeply but once again this feeling was also banned.
Yano cautiously led Lia towards a small park next to the cemetery, holding her hand as if it was a treasure, as if she was precious to him. Lia didn't know if she should laugh or not, but then a depressing thought crept into her mind.
