Ep-8
"They said 'Life goes on' to console me. Who will tell them that's my worst reality?"
Reize
*sits beside her car*
Reize
(I shouldn't pester him about the past any longer for now)
Reize
Picture this, there will be a mass of people today at the art gallery for the event
Reize
All wallowing in grief, mourning YOU
Reize
Are you going to let them bury you in their hearts when you are still alive and kicking?
Emris
(The only one I want to kick is you)
Emris
What has that got to do with me? I was haunted by your ghost even while being alive
Emris
*sneers* Survivors have scars, victims have graves. I will take the grave for the part of me that died won't ever come back, as I left my scars in the past
Reize
But how are you going to "heal" if you let those thoughts engulf you every night?!
Emris
*grimly says* The ones who wounded me get no say in how I clean up the blood
Reize
*digs her nails through her palms* (I knew I would have to face the painful past again if I had to regain him.....but the pain on his face is still unbearable to me)
Reize
You believe your life's deepest wound was created by me, right?
Reize
But I know you think so
Reize
Then are you okay with it? Doesn't it frustrate you? To see your tormentor live the time of her life while you still struggle to even accept yourself?
Reize
(I didn't want to say these words to him but if I let things the way they are now, he would never take a step ahead)
Emris
I would be lying to say it doesn't but some children are just born with tragedy in their blood
Emris
I can hustle all day and you will still come out at the top with a minute of work
Reize
*extends her hand* (I am asking for permission this time, not imposing myself on him. This should be fine, right?)
Reize
Come with me today. Ruin me in your arms again. Shame me in front of everyone today and gain your place as the rightful victor
Reize
Do you think you can ever get your revenge on me by sitting idle and avoiding me?
Reize
The same cycle will just repeat forever for you
Emris
Why do you even care?!
Reize
.... I hope someday in the future....you would be asking the same question to yourself
Reize
Say it, are you going to go back to living your life trembling in uncertainty, letting the flow of fate shape you to its liking
Reize
Or are you going to stand up and bare your teeth again? Don't you want to go down savage?
Emris
(Rei...ze has changed. Provoking me like this, what is she even thinking? It's as if, she actually empathizes with me)
Emris
(But her offer makes my heart beat faster)
Emris
Got it. It's such a lucrative proposal, I would be a fool to reject it
Reize
*opens her car door* Get in
Emris
You want me to go just like this? I am in my pajamas!
Reize
I can always hire a stylist there to style you for the event
Emris
That's just humiliating!
Reize
(He and his mindless worries *sigh*)
Reize
We'll be arriving late to the event I am hosting if we move with your pace *rolls her eyes*
Emris
Speak once again and I will call off the whole thing
Reize
As you command, your highness~
Reize
(I need to work with his boundaries in sight. With his current psyche, I never know when I might flip off the switch and all things will cascade down to disaster then)
Emris
*leaves for his door*
Emris
I am going to take quite some time. Do you want to wait inside in my house?
Emris
(I do feel bad for making her wait....or maybe I am being too soft on her? I can't really treat her rudely after all she gave me, no matter how much she deserves this)
Reize
You're really inviting me to your home!!?
Emris
I am regretting my decisions again *sighs*
