"I hate you!" Conan grumbled, hugging his knees with his back against the wall of the hallway where he fought Aries. Beside him was Aries. Just like his disheveled hair, Aries was just as bedraggled as him with dirt on their faces and clothes. The lines between their brows deepened, glaring daggers at the wall across from them, almost digging a hole in it with just their gazes.
"I hate you just as passionately," she huffed, her arms resting over her knees.
Silence descended on the hallway, with neither of them talking for the longest time. The anger in her eyes slowly faded, clicking her tongue in annoyance.
"You shouldn't have done that," she mustered the courage to speak after the prolonged silence. "Not because Abel cannot die, you can always resort to the extreme."
Aries lowered her eyes and rested her chin on top of her arms. "I understand Abel had longed for death, but that was in the past. Don't kill him."
