...
Ellis.
Someone I used to be with.
Was with me 2 years after we broke up.
...
I don't know how to feel about this...
Why does she look...
scared?
You look...
so sad...?
...
I wonder why.
" ... "
Ellis: "I-I'm sorry...!"
Sorry?
Ellis: " I'm sorry! "
Come to think of it...
Ellis: " Please..."
What is she so sorry about?
Ellis: " Please don't hate me! "
Hate her?
" It really is you... "
Ellis: " === "
"Isn't it? "
Ellis: " I- "
Before she could say anything, I cut her off by hugging her.
Ellis: " ! "
Shes surprised?
...
What has she been thinking this whole time?
Ellis: " H-Huh?? "
Now shes... Confused?
"It's been a long time right? "
Ellis: " . . . "
...?
!!!
She suddenly hugs back, harder than I could anticipate.
" Uh...? "
Leading to her being on top of me while we are both hugging on the couch.
Ellis: " * sob * "
" ...? "
She needs to calm down...
I instinctively pat her head.
"It's okay, I don't hate you. "
Ellis: " R-Really? "
" Yes, really. "
Ellis: " But didn't I hurt you? Didn't I make you suffer? Even embracing you right now is too much for someone like me...! "
...
...?
???
We broke up 2 years ago right??
But.
Why don't I feel any anger?
Or any sadness at least??
...
Something is definitely wrong.
" I don't know exactly, "
I wipe some of her tears away.
" But all I know is that I don't hate you. "
Ellis: " !!! "
" But that doesn't mean I still like you either. "
