Regrets (Guizhong x Ping)

1

It was a cold night on the mountain. Me and Guizhong met up in the same spot every week or so. Although, normally, we'd meet up late afternoon. Guizhong said she had business to attend to, so we had to delay our meeting. I was walking up the mountain, on my way to meet her. I saw her sitting down with her legs dangling over the cliff. She spotted me and signaled me to join her.

'Hello, Streetward Rambler. How have you been?'

I sat down next to her.

'Hello, Guizhong. I'm great. How are you?'

'I'm fine. I arrived early in fear of being late, but it seems you were late this time.'

Guizhong chuckled, putting her hand over her mouth. I couldn't help but smile at her. She certainly had a way with her emotions.

'Forgive me, I lost track of time.'

'No need to apologize to me. I don't mind waiting on you. If I had to, I'd wait forever.'

I didn't reply. I simply smiled and turned to the view before us. After some time, she grew tired, and leaned on my shoulder.

'Even if these moments are brief, I still enjoy your company.'

She had said to me, before falling asleep.

......

'That was the last time I saw her, Traveler. The next time I came across her, all I found was her lifeless body on an emptied battlefield.'

'Granny, do you think she loves you too?'

Paimon asks me, floating beside the Traveler.

'I'm not sure. I guess we'll never know.'
