« Hilda ? », I asked, too shocked to say anything else.
In front of me, the dark-haired girl seemed as surprised as me, but the huge difference between us was that she was also scared. And I was confused.
Her red eyes were filled with tears, and now she was wearing a t-shirt, I saw many new cuts on her wrists and forearms. I really thought our last talk would have made her change a bit, but she didn't stop harming herself. Or maybe she couldn't stop it.
Maybe she was dealing with many other problems. Maybe she didn't find help. Maybe her friends mocked her, or insulted her, because Meadela saw us in the same room.
Or maybe the dark-haired man who was holding her was the reason why she felt so bad.
« Get the fuck out of here ! », she hissed, probably too scared to stay calm.
« Please Hilda, I'm not here to - »
« Didn't you hear what I just said ! », she shouted, some tears running along her cheeks. « Leave me alone ! »
Something's wrong, why does she look that scared..?
Her body was shaken by sobs, and she buried her face in her hands. Next to her, Ravio leaned towards her to hold her in his arms again, but it only made everything worse.
Her sobs redoubled and she tried her best to push him away.
« Ravio... », she sobbed under her breath.
But he held steady. And no matter how nice he seemed to be, I couldn't help but think that, maybe, she didn't want him next to her.
« Why are you in these streets ? They are full of monsters. », as Toruma said.
What if he was her monster ? What if he was hunting her ? What if he finally found her and did to her what Toruma did to me a few months ago ?
What if he was taking advantage of her weakness and loneliness ?
I was looking at them, and carefully walked in their direction. The street where I was was chocka and I didn't want to bring attention to us three. But, on the other hand, it reassured me a bit. Because if things got worse, there would be people who could help us.
Unlike in October, when I was alone with Toruma with no chances of survival.
« Don't... », she started, one of her hands in front of her.
« I'm not here to hurt you. », I said in a soothing tone, walking towards them.
« Stay where you are ! », she screamed.
« I can help you. », I continued in the same tone.
« No ! »
« Hilda... I think you're - »
« You know nothing about me ! Nothing at all ! You don't know what's happening in my life ! », she bursted into tears.
I stopped, abruptly. Her eyes were full of fear, full of tears, and next to her, the dark-haired man was looking at me with a suspicious glance.
Did he want me to go away ? Was he bothered because I interrupted what no one interrupted between me and Toruma ? Was he twisted like my tormentor ? But, if so, why would he plead my case in a court ?
