Aome (青目; Vol.2)

Chapter 8

(5:15 pm, January 21st, 2020. Emiya's Apartment, Tokyo. Emiya and Aoi reached the apartment together since Aoi wanted to walk home with Emiya [also because Aoi's guts were telling her that someone was following Emiya in the worst way possible]. They stood in front of the entrance, giving Emiya the space to open the door to her place. Emiya turned to Aoi and peeked her head out.)

Emiya: Umm, would you like to come in?

Aoi: (*shakes head*) I have to go home now. Just... lie down for now. Don't do anything drastic, try your best to relax. We can hang out when you're feeling better, how does that sound?

(Emiya hung her head low as if Aoi didn't understand the reason why she wanted her to be inside her house, but shakes her head knowing what their relationship is like now.)

Emiya: Okay, have a safe trip back home. (She gets back inside and closes the door.)

(Aoi gets out of the building, with her taser hidden in her right hand to see where the unknown stalker is hiding. She thought back to how she felt a strange presence when she and Emiya were walking back to Emiya's apartment. However, the person seemed to be out of sight, which made Aoi think that they ran away once Emiya got in. She then went on her way to walk towards the train station. At the same time, Emiya was trying her best to lock the front door by putting objects in front of it. She called the lock company to change the password of the lock pad since she suspects someone was going to hurt her [she knows, but doesn't want to admit it].)

Lock company representative (on phone): I changed the code, but the change will take 24 hours since this seems urgent. I'm sorry if there's any inconvenience on your end.

Emiya: (*makes a fist and digs nails into palms*) Ah, I see... no worries, thank you for changing the code. I'll make sure to keep it safe from others. I hope you have a good evening.

(She hangs the phone up and goes to the closet to hide from the person who might try to enter her apartment to harm her. Unfortunately, none of the objects in front of the door could stop the intruder from entering the apartment.)

Intruder: EMIYA! WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?! SHOW YOURSELF, YOU WHORE!

(Emiya was shaking inside the closet, trying her best not to make a sound or move a muscle. She kept hearing the footsteps getting louder and louder... until—)

Emiya: (wide-eyed) ...Masaki-kun?

Masaki: Found you.

(5:45 pm, Emiya's bedroom. After Emiya was found, the intruder dragged her to the bedroom while Emiya was trying her best to get away from his grasp. However, he was too strong for her to get away from. He ended up forcing himself onto her and her incessant screams and no's fell on deaf ears as he continued. Once he was done, all that was left of her was a bruised and beaten body that was bleeding from in between the legs. The life in her eyes was gone, and she couldn't say anything anymore. She stayed lying for a few minutes to realize what has happened. Somehow, she got up, took her phone, took a small knife from the kitchen, and went to the bathroom to end her suffering forever. Before she did what she was going to do, she tried to call the police. However, since she was in tears, she ended up calling Aoi by accident. After a few rings, she picks it up.)

Aoi (on phone): Hello, Emiya?

Emiya: (doesn't recognize Aoi's voice) ...Can you please come to my house and pick up my body?

(Aoi doesn't speak and is shocked by what she heard from Emiya's mouth.)

Aoi (on phone): Emiya? What are you talking about...?

(Emiya still didn't realize she was talking to Aoi and not the police.)

Emiya: I... I'm going to kill myself... I was raped by my boyfriend, and I know... you wouldn't care if I was the victim or not since... I couldn't stop him from hurting me. Please... tell my best friend... I'm sorry for lying... (She proceeded to cut her arms the long way and laid on the bathtub with the water filling up the tub with Emiya's body. When that's happening, her phone's slowly drowning with her until Aoi said her final words.)

(Aoi on the other side tried her best to not drop her phone.)

Aoi (on phone): Emiya, please wait for me. I'll be there right away, please don't kill yourself. (She starts to panic and breathes heavily and quickly as she runs towards Emiya's apartment.)
