Aren't We Friends?

[4:30 AM.]

Michael stood outside the camp, staring at the gateway with hands folded behind him.

'Sunny's father knows little of the truth, he knew nothing about the gods or even the rulers of the monsters, he only knows that the gods sent angels to help us. And nothing more.' He sighed.

"What are you thinking about?"

He looked over his shoulder, seeing Erika walking towards him. A thick scarf was wrapped on her shoulders.

"Why aren't you sleeping?" He asked, looking back at the gateway.

"Can't sleep." Erika stopped beside him. "What about you? Why are you standing here all alone?"

Michael looked at her in confusion.

"What?" She asked with an urge of her head.

"Why are you asking? Don't tell me you are worried about me."

"Can't a friend care for a friend?" She asked. "Or aren't we friend?"

Michael exhaled. "I'm just thinking about Queen Echidna, the voice we heard in our last game."
