Never going back

I was lying on the ground with my gut bleeding by the side. My breathing was hasteful but it was all silent after a gunshot.

(Everything kind of worked the way I wanted it to and I-)

I stood up and saw Miette’s face.

It was null. Never did I ever want it to be that way, her face looked like mine.

I knew that Miette would never obey me when I was in danger and would surely stay there after ensuring Echirou was okay.

A part of me was still gambling about her being here and that she would kill Flint if she stayed here but there was something wrong about it all. Why was I making her a monster like me? Maybe I already know how everything is going to be, that’s why…

“I-I-I”

She seemed to be saying something.

I stood up and went to her. I didn’t say anything, I just looked at her.

She alone was so weak that she could have fallen at any moment.

“It’s over, Miette”
