~15 Minutes Later~

We Walked Mainly In Silence, Excluding Annabelle's Complaints During The Walk

I Kept Looking At The Sky To See How The Time Is Passing

It Moving Quicker Than I Expected

"Kai" Annabellle Said

"Yeah?" I Answered

"What Were You Doing In The Forest?" She Asked

Her Question Caught Me Off Guard

"I Was. . . Taking A Walk" I Said

"At Night?" She Looked Perplexed

"Y-Yeah, Its More Silent At Night" I Avoided Eye Contact With Her

"You're Hiding Something, Is It A Secret? I Promise I Wouldn't Tell" She Said, Crossing Her Heart

Well, There's No Point In Hiding It Anymore

I Sighed

"I Lost Someone About A Month Ago" I Said

"Who?" She Asked

"My Sister..." I Said Softly

I Already Felt Tears Appearing

"Nya? What Happened To Her?" She Asked Sadly

"She Left The Team"

"Why?"

"Because She Had To, She Had No Other Choice"

"Why?"

"Because One Of Our Team Members Were Dying, And It Was The Only Way To Save Them And The City"

Annabelle Went Silent

"So, You Miss Her?" She Said Sadly

"Very Much" I Said, Looking At The Ground

Droplets Were Falling To The Ground

No, Not Droplets, Tears

I Was Crying

A Child Broke Down My Barrier

Annabelle Walked To My Side And Gave Me A Hug

"Its Going To Be Ok" She Said

"No Its Not, She's Never Coming Back" I Said With Shuddering Breaths

"What If She Does Come Back?" She Asked

"You Don't Understand Annabelle, She Can't Come Back, She's Literally The Sea Right Now, She Can't Go Back To Her Old Self"

"So? She's Still Your Sister, She Just Looks A Little Different" She Pushed On

She Had A Point There

"You're Right, But It Just Won't Be The Same" I Admitted
