She was speaking so quietly but, the words blared out in his mind, so deafening as if a rumble of thunder was roaring.
Ryuu's pupils trembled. His lips quivered, making him stutter.
"What do you mean... some time away from me?"
Yuina flinched. She unconsciously took a step back, almost falling to the couch. Her grip on her hands turned tighter, her nails dug into her skin.
Her franticness made her forgot her headache.
"...yes."
Since she had said so, there was no turning back.
She could no longer retract her words and treat them as if nothing happened anymore.
"I want some time away from you."
"But, why... I don't understand. Yuina, what... what the heck happened?"
The veins on his neck kept bulging. Ryuu's eyes darting everywhere, not knowing where to let his gaze fall.
Yet, in the end, he still looked at her.
Yuina was staring at the floor, dodging from staring directly into his eyes.
