Bridge of Convergence.
Darwin
Sigh... He's giving me a big problem.
Darwin
How could he escape like a coward?
Darwin rested his head on the cold bridge railing.
The sound of the river flowing was like a lullaby, soothing and calming.
Darwin
I feel like I could fall asleep in this position.
Darwin
What feeling is that?
Darwin instantly lifted his head.
A human silhouette was visible at the end of the bridge, facing the highway.
It appeared to be a woman in all-black attire, with her head covered by the hood of her jacket.
Darwin
What is she doing here? At this late of night?
*swallows nervously*
With each step the girl took, the fear in Darwin's heart grew stronger.
Darwin
[Shit, what's wrong with my body?]
Darwin
[My heart is racing. It seems like I'm also breaking into a cold sweat.]
Carrie
If I were you, I would avert my gaze.
*cold and low voice*
Darwin
[Damn. Why am I so scared just by looking at her?!]
Darwin
[Come on, Darwin! You're the strongest and bravest member of Themis! What's the point of the martial arts I've learned if I end up being a weakling?!]
Darwin reached for the girl's hand and was immediately brushed aside by her.
Carrie
Tsk. My mood is bad.
*muttering*
Darwin
O-oh, I'm sorry. I-I was just thinking, may I introduce myself to you?
A strong wind blew, taking off the girl's hood and revealing her face more clearly.
Darwin
[Hatred was evident in her gaze... or was she born with a face like that?]
*gulp*
Carrie
*stares intensely without saying a word*
Carrie
Someone who can't even speak coherently isn't worthy of introducing themselves to me.
The girl walked away, stepping along the one-way road that cut through the forest.
Darwin takes a deep breath, then touches his left ear.
Darwin
Huff... Huff... I... can't move. I need a help.
Darwin
I found a shark in the river.
Darwin
*chuckles and then laughs*
Darwin
Hahaha! This one seems quite dangerous. I'll definitely catch it before it devours all the fish in this river.
