Walking by the lake that she knew was somehow familiar to her, Sakurako was still trying to rack her mind for reasons why she went there in the first place. The location looked really creepy, not to mention dangerous, especially at night.
And yet, here she was...
Why did you lead me here?
Maine could only say those words to herself as she looked at the sunset that would, hopefully, end her day right. And yet, it didn't look like that to her at all.
What was worst, she only felt even more melancholic than she ever was in her entire life. Exaggeration as it seemed, but it appeared like that to her. Damn it! Why was that?
Surely, this felt weird.
Should she blame that vision again?
"Sige na. Ngumiti ka na."
Bakit ba ang kulit ng babaeng 'to ngayon? Sa totoo lang, ilang beses na niya akong kinukulit na ngumiti. Ano naman ang meron at ganito siya kakulit ngayon?
Pero gaya ng madalas kong gawin, hindi ko sinunod ang gusto niya. Wala akong dahilan para ngumiti ngayon. Stressed ako at gusto ko munang alisin sa isip ko ang kung ano mang 'di magandang nangyari sa akin ngayong araw.
"Bakit ba ayaw mong ngumiti, ha? Minsan na nga lang akong mag-request sa 'yo, eh."
An old story dedicated to my online friend LittleRedYasha.
Would it be selfish of me if I ask you to stay, especially when it comes to a point that everything else doesn't work the way I want to anymore?

Takeru could only heave a heavy sigh for the umpteenth time that day. Or should he say, that week. It had been a pretty depressing week for him. But there was nothing he could do to dissipate it.
Not until he was able to make sure that she would finally awaken.
Once again, Takeru could do nothing but to succumb to the helplessness he was feeling. Along with that, he turned to look at the door when the reason why he was feeling that way at the moment was confined.
