So Many Questions Left Unanswered

Serena hadn't recovered yet from the shock when Kira said another word. "Since we are already here, let me ask you something. Why? Why did you do that, letting me think that you betrayed me? Was it you who helped me live?"

Kira grabbed Serena's waist, holding her in place. Her body stiffened at their close contact. She couldn't look straight into his eyes. She had conflicting thoughts in mind.

'I'm not the one who helped him. Should I lie to him and pretend that it was me?' Serena thought to herself. She was wary of Kira. She didn't know what he would do to her once he found out the truth.

Seeing that she was hesitating to say something, Kira didn't stop urging her. "This is your last chance to explain everything to me. Next time… I might no longer listen to you. So tell me everything now, Selene…"

Serena raised her head at the mention of that name. There was grief and longing in her eyes and Kira saw them.
