"--Who headbutts a girl?! Why're you not even hurt?!"
Aiko yelled out as she held her throbbing forehead, feeling her blood rush to the spot of impact, hoping a bump wouldn't form.
"Who randomly starts attacking their partner, huh?! Talk to me! What's wrong, Aiko?!"
He didn't know exactly why he was so riled up, but at least the flowing emotions had dulled the mutually assured pain that came with a raw collision of foreheads.
"...Nothing."
"Don't give me that crap!"
Ren didn't let up, swiping his hand to the side as he brought his face close to hers, not allowing her to avert her eyes.
"...I can't do it."
The words came out meekly from her lips as her pupils trembled ever so slightly, trying her best to look away from him.
"Huh?"
"I don't want to go back to them."
"I get it...I'm guessing it was a scary encounter, but I'm here now."
