So, there, I headed to the mall with Kara...
It feels so... Nostalgic.
We've done this a million times before,
But why does this time feel different?
...
Life could be so cruel and forgiving at the same fucking moment... Can't it?
"Hey, you okay?" She nudged my
Ah, right.
"Yeah, I just... I just zoned out." I scratched my head, looking away.
"You... You seem to be thinking a little too deep, something happened?" She raised an eyebrow, as she walked beside me into the mall's entrance.
What was I supposed to say?
Heh, I realized now how shitty it was to be so fake.
Why did this have to happen to me...?
Why couldn't I just rest in peace like I've always wanted?!?
I suddenly felt Kara wipe away a tear from my cheek.
"Hey... You don't have to tell me if it's personal, but I'm here to listen, even if we aren't close." She smiled at me, sitting me down on a nearby bench.
I looked at her, surprised, before smiling.
"... Thanks..."
There was a long period of silence before she finally spoke.
"You remind me of someone..." She looked away.
"Hm...?" I raised my eyebrow.
"... You know Hanzo, right? You said you talked with each other..." She mumbled.
"You already told me that." I mumbled
...
There was a long period of silence.
I stared at her, not sure how to feel.
"You... You keep your emotions to yourself, you isolate yourself for no reason, you carry the weight of your own problems by yourself... Just like he did." She shrugged.
"Why didn't he trust me?" Kara sighed, glancing at me for a split second before turning away
"You already told me that too." I looked away
...
This... Was awkward...
We stayed silent for a long time...
"... You have to buy something, right?" I looked over at her.
"Right!" She jumped up, before rushing to the store.
I sighed loudly, before laughing as I followed behind.
