Very Dark
Seiu
Could one even carry that amount of negativity?
Seiu
I can't believe I passed out because of her.
Seiu
I wasn't even able to go back lightless in her presence...
She exasperatedly sighed loudly, now walking down a street.
Seiu
Divines... I'm still low on energy, I will have to walk my way.
She hissed, passing through people's bodies very normally when she didn't pay attention.
Seiu
Ah, the concrete is hot.
Eraya
Shh! Mommy's alright, look!
Eraya
The operation was a success!
Eraya smiled wide at the trembling and teared up boy in her lap, cheering him up.
Eraya
Just wait for a minute, you can see her soon.
Eraya
Noo, baby, she is okay!
Eraya
Don't worry, baby, he is not going to come back.
The kid clenched on her cloth, quickly wrapping his little arms around the girl's waist and hiding his face there.
Eraya almost cried by this, but staying strong, and giving him strength, she smiled more, embracing him tightly, and possibly transferring to him in that lovely gesture all her remains of positive energy, emptying herself, to help him feel better.
Doctor
I cannot explain how her near to lifeless body cooperated during the operation!
Doctor
And fifteen minutes in, she starts speaking.
Eraya smiles from a corner as the kid's grandmother and a very old grandfather (who came to learn the news and follow quickly) then talked to the doctor.
She has lullabied(sorcery) the anxious child into a sweet sleep, while she watches over him still.
Kid's grandfather
God is gracious.
Kid's grandfather
Thank you, very much doctor.
Kid's grandfather
Thank you very much.
The old man repeated, smiling, while holding sentiment in the heart. Eraya sensed the intensity of it, the profound grief of losing a son to evil, and it's remorse, and somewhere some doubt over parenting.
The grandmother went to Eraya, and smiled at her grandson who was in her lap.
Kid's Grandma
If not for you today...
Eraya
We should always come of help to each other.
Kid's Grandma
Oh sweet child.
The grandma smiled admirably at the girl.
Kid's Grandma
I'd like to invite yo–
Eraya
Can you! Can you hold him? Take him to his mom as soon as he wakes up. I need to leave now.
She cut the old woman off, she had no more time to spare. She already felt like she had lost more time than she could afford to.
She ran, after handling the boy to his granny.
She quickly returned to the café by her own means.
That table in the back right corner was now empty.
Her eyes wandered around the café in frantic search.
She ran outside and looked about in the same restless manner.
Then she suddenly stopped.
Eraya
I cannot even sense her. She's not around.....
Her voice faltered as she realized something.
Eraya
When had she gotten here earlier?
Eraya
I didn't sense her arrival. It was only in that moment. A very shocking, sudden movement....
Eraya
As if, she materialised out of nowhere.
And yet another realization, that stopped another pair of feet from moving further in their journey.
Seiu
Wait, she knew my name.
Seiu
She clearly said 'Seiu,' I can hear it now as other thoughts clear out.
The puzzle was that Seiu had never known the girl she met in the café before.
Seiu
Am I wanted— hell, I'm a good lad!
A familiar, laughing mock followed. Seiu knew who it was.
Seiu
Fhuckin employee. When did you come? (grits teeth) I should really stop talking my thoughts out loud.
Malcom
So... (ignores Seiu's remarks completely) you met someone.
Malcom looked into the honest amusement in Seiu.
Seiu
I felt like I was almost gone.
Seiu glared at Malcom with determination.
Seiu
You do know something, for one.
Malcom eyed the street below from the roof of the building the two sat on.
Malcom
(lips curve in a slight grin)
