She stops, looks at me, smiles and says, "You'll leave me someday, relations are so fragile."
"What do you mean? I'm not leaving you!'
"You wouldn't get it."
She leaves the balcony slowly. What does she mean by that? It's so strange.
"Come have dinner, Dense"
"Yeah, sure."
I seat to have dinner. Tachibana doesn't look that sad now. She reather looks disgusted for some reason. Why is she acting so weird lately? Is this about her parents? I guess. But it's not their fault. They didn't want to leave or anything. It was just fate. Why is she being like this?
"I'm finished. I'll head to bed now."
"That was fast, Tachibana?", says Kaigara.
"Yeah, I know."
"It's still bothering you?"
"I don't know what you mean."
"You do."
"If you think it's about my parents then it's probably not true."
"Probably, huh? So, you are not sure what it is."
Tachibana leaves without saying anything. Kaigara seems to understand what's going through her head. Shall I ask him what it is. Probably not a wise thing to do.
"You are up early. Or should I say you are late for bed."
"I can ask you the same, Kaigara."
"Ouch, that hurt my feelings.", I laugh.
She looks back at the moon.
"I didn't expect you to be here."
"You were expecting Densetsu? I asked him to go check on you. He said he should let you take rest for a while."
"Then why are you here. Shouldn't you listen to your friend? I am his girlfriend afterall."
"I'm a man of free will you can say."
She smiles and looks at the moon.
"The moon is beautiful tonight.", she says.
"You know what you're saying, aren't you?"
"Let's not talk about it."
"As you wish. So, what is bothering you?"
"You are rather interested in me tonight."
"Oh, don't be flattered. I'm just... Worried."
"They say it all begins from worrying about each other."
"Each other? So you are worried about me?"
"I was back then."
"Shouldn't we leave that past alone?"
"Do you have a reason to?"
"I don't, yet I will."
"You are still like what you were back then. Just hiding that face under mask."
"Atleast unlike someone else I didn't leave after hearing rumors without judging."
"Those rumors turned out to be true later on."
"What if I say I just made them true, to save someone else."
"Really.", she laughs, "I knew you are many bad things but you were never a liar. When did you pick up that skills?"
"I never picked that up. You just picked up some imagination power.", I smile
She starts walking inside.
"You won't be leaving him, will you?", I ask
"I never hurt good people."
"That's true but you misunderstand them."
"I hope it was only misunderstanding."
I keep standing there. She leaves with fast steps. The moon sure is beautiful.
