Ep-11
"I waged war against you with a hundred truths on my side and a single lie on yours"
Reize
....what's this about?
Arin
*grips her fists* After I say the truth today,
Arin
You probably won't like to be friends with me any longer
Arin
But before that, I want you to know that I still don't think "we" did anything wrong
Reize
Who else is included in your "we"?
Arin
Remember the guy you thought was into you about 5 years back?
Reize
That hardly filters out anybody
Arin
*sighs* Give the narcissism a rest. You would want to eat your words otherwise
Reize
Just get to the point already, who are you talking about?
Arin
You remember the name "Wrex"? He was loitering around you a lot those days
Reize
(That still doesn't help in the search)....oh wait! You mean the guy you were into?
Reize
What, you are still going steady with him? I thought that was just another college puppy love
Arin
*shakes her hand* that's not important here. Rather, remember the day Emris went missing from your life 5 years back....
5 years back, the hour of Emris's "death"
Wrex
*running about the city as if he was searching for somebody*
Wrex
*calls Arin* I haven't got a sign of him yet. You're sure it's what you're thinking?
Arin
I would never be wrong about it. We both have gone through it, you know just as good as me what those signs mean
Wrex
Didn't you say they were *huff* in a healthy and beautiful relationship? *pants* Are you sure about it?
Arin
They "were" at first. I never thought Cher could fall for someone again, that too right after leaving "him"
Arin
But someone who was born into a warm family, someone who has spent her life being revered and loved just for existing, can't inhabit the same darkness the likes of us live in
Wrex
But why're you worried about him?! He went through the sin of loving while knowing he can never be loved, this is just a fitting punishment
Arin
Don't say it like that, it doesn't suit you. You just look a fool who is projecting on him
Wrex
*running and shouting on the phone* His mother turned up dead a couple of months ago. He has no tormentor in his life any longer, shouldn't he be in heaven now?
Wrex
Why would he want to end his life?!
Arin
*getting enraged* What about you?
Arin
What were your reasons?
Wrex
I shouldn't have said that
Arin
Me too....*sighs*...we have our own issues he has his own. All we can do is make sure he finds help before we could
Wrex
Where is his "killer" amidst this mess? What's the excuse he gave her?
Arin
He told he would be visiting his village to take care of his mother's house there. He left all the gifts she ever gave him in her house, saying they would deteriorate in his empty apartment
Arin
A couple of days before he left, he asked me if I thought Reize was a good person
Wrex
Did you say what he wanted to hear?
Arin
I gave a mindless "yes". He wasn't overly happy or disappointed. It felt as if he was in peace
Arin
I heard from Reize that he sleeps till late noon also sometimes now. She joked about how lazy and "spoiled" he has become while he is fighting for his life
Wrex
I now understand why you thought he was losing it....
Wrex
But the rain is pouring hard now. Maybe I should leave the search for today
Arin
We can't do anything more then. I will ask more about him to her and we will continue later
In the split second that Emris chose to jump into the river, Wrex's hand instinctively threw the phone and jumped down with him. Emris's body splashed into the river as Wrex dived to save him
Emris
*his body sinks deeper*
Wrex
(I am not going to lose another person right before my eyes!)
Emris
*with his last strands of consciousness* (Death's hands are quite warm)
