"G-Go back to Elyndra? A-Are you serious...?" Eliss stammers in disbelief. "I-I should be happy... I guess..."
And yet, there isn't a trace of happiness in her voice. The look on her face is full of pain. Her whole body goes stiff. Her purse slips from her hand, and her wide eyes stare blankly into space.
"A-Aoshi... knew you were coming to take me home tonight..."
Of course... now I get why he was so determined to stop me from going to work.
How the hell did I not figure it out sooner?
T-That idiot... I was so angry at him. I thought he was just playing with my feelings, when all he really wanted... was to spend my last few hours on Earth with me...
I... feel so guilty about the things I said to him.
Eliss's eyes fill with tears.
Raelor remains completely unmoved by her pain. He simply nods without saying another word.
"W-Why...? Why didn't that idiot tell me?!" Eliss sobs as she collapses to her knees in front of him.
