Redemption of the Yandere Villain

015: With You

"Somethings wrong."

Timber stares at the trembling hands that Eugene was holding and says with a face painted with fear: "Just what on earth is happening to you Eugene? We didn't see each other for seven days and you changed so much...and your changes are just...I couldn't tell...I couldn't grasp it. I don't know what's on your mind making me feel that there is so much uncertainty in our relationships."

"I can feel gaps. I can discern the distance."

Eugene held his breath.

"Timber, do you remember what you told me when we became friends?"

Timber's eyebrows furrowed, "I would never forget, It's a promise I held into and wrote in my diary because meeting you means so much to me. I would never forget that time when I held your hands in the garden and cry while clinging to you. The time when I said that we will never separate even if the people who surround us disapproved. As I am an illegitimate child and you have full noble blood."

Eugene gritted his teeth, "Saying worst about yourself is just---"

"Eugene, we can't be blind about what and how people see us. I'm no longer an innocent kid who couldn't do things on my own. I can now think and decides. There's no need to cover up the ugly truth just to make me feel better."

"But I'm telling the truth, you have a beautiful soul."

"Not everyone can see like that, I'm surprised by your sweet words."

"Timber..."

"I'm fine Eugene. I'm trying to understand."

Eugene shut his eyes in pain, can't bear to look at Timber who he killed and couldn't help.

Just when did he become so powerless? How come he just notice the feeling in this life...that he couldn't manage to protect what he must protect in the past? Just why did he become so blind with hatred that he failed to live his life?

Timber...

You are really, the only person who can enlighten the type of person like him.

"Timber, y-you see...I---"

SFX: Whoshhh 

Timber/Eugene: "!!!"

Eugene runs towards Timber after alertly turning his attention to the source of the sounds, pulling Timber behind him in a protective manner and shouting, "Who?!"

"Wow, I never expect such an expression from you."

Eugene's face turns ugly when he saw the person who suddenly appeared behind him and gave a faint attack towards Timber which is actually aimed at him.

Timber: "Eugene your face!"

Eugene touches his cheek and feels a liquid substance which is blood.

"No worries, It's just a scratch, your friend won't die."

Timber's face turn red and glares at the person with hatred, "How dare you!"

"Angry? Where is your right? It's you, how dare you make Eullian cry? He's my friend so I guess my friend's little brother who is your friend, you would probably understand my irritation. Right Timber Rozans?"

Eugene: "Clarence!"

Clarence gave Eugene a mocking look.

"So protective, you probably wouldn't do that to Eullian. Oh well, I guess you don't even recognize who is your little brother and spend your time with this oh-so-called pretend younger brother of yours."
