It’s silent for a moment, neither knowing what to say. Kei feels guilty and reaches out for Nadia.
“Don’t! Please...don’t touch me.” Nadia doesn’t look at Kei. Instead, she stands up and grabs her bag. “I... I’m sorry Kei.” She reaches for the curtain. “Please go home on your own. I can’t, I can’t be around you right now.”
“Nadia?” While the words seemed harsh, her voice sounded incredibly pained as she said them, and she’s sure she saw a tear fall from her eye as she slid open the curtain and ran out in a hurry.
“Nadia....” Kei can feel fresh tears start to fall. She got a little scared and needed a moment to prepare herself, but she never wanted to cause her pain. “Why do I always screw things up?”
“You shouldn’t blame yourself; you know?”
Kei is startled by the sudden appearance of Liz. “Liz! When did you get back?”
Liz looks a bit embarrassed as she says, “Sorry to tell you, but I’ve been back for a while now.”
