PLUTO English Translation

28 (OPEN UP)

After the gunshot, both Metavee and I fell to the ground. I open my eyes looking at the petite woman in my arms to make sure the bullet didn't hit her.

"May... are you hurt?"

"I'm okay."

"Please make sure that you are. Did the bullet hit you anywhere?"

I can't stop my tears from falling out of fear. Metavee shakes her head and looks at Aobe Aum, who's pointing the gun to the sky.

"Aobe Aum fired the shot into the sky. I'm okay."

I cover my face with my hands. And never in my entire life, have I felt like my heart was being torn into pieces because I've never loved anyone this much before. I cry because I've never been this scared.

"That's great... Sob. This is good. I was so scared."

I wipe my tears and look at my twin, who's crying too.

"Aum..."

"I almost did it. Just a little more. Sob."

And then my twin also falls to the ground and cries heavily out of anger. She hits the ground with her fists, like she wants to break it because she's so angry that things haven't gone how she'd hoped... I slowly crawl towards her and hug her tightly. She accepts my consolation and throws the gun away. I don't know what she's thinking, but I'm both grateful and appreciative that she didn't do something stupid out of rage. It was like she listened to my plea. A plea I have never made since we were born....

"Please take me home. I don't want to be here anymore."

"Ah huh... let's go home."

"Don't tell mom what I did today."

"Okay. I won't. Let's go home."

We help each other up and walk to the car. I will drive. Metavee walks after us and grabs my wrist. We look each other in the eye.

"Will we see each other again? Will our love be the same?"

Those are the questions Metavee's asking me. I look at my lover and can only cry. I don't know what to feel in this instance. It's like we've come so far. We opened up and were completely honest with each other, but it appears that we know nothing about each other. Metavee is that lawyer. And I was the one who told my friends to destroy someone's life, which happened to be Metavee.

"I'm leaving."

We stare at each other for a long time before I pull the petite one's hand off my shirt and get in the
driver's seat. I can't be more concerned about someone else than family. Though I don't have a good relationship with my family, I can't give priority to someone I just met over my twin... Aobe Aum is too weak right now, and I have to put her first.

When we got home, Kosol called because I hadn't shown up to meet him. In the end, he couldn't keep it to himself any longer, so he told me everything. He told me that Metavee was the lawyer for Ben's
offender. Yes... Kosol confirms that what Aobe Aum said was true....

[We did this to Metavee.]

Kosol had told me before that he thought the petite woman looked familiar somehow. I just didn't think that fate would deal me this card.

"It wasn't that long ago. Why couldn't you remember her at first?"

[I just thought she looked familiar. I only saw her from a distance in court. Also, she was wearing glasses then, but she didn't wear them when we met recently. That's why I couldn't remember who she was, only that she looked familiar.]

He only realized who she was because he dropped by to see Ben's family, and Ben's father remembered the name of the lawyer who went against them and looked for more information. The name Metavee made Kosol come to the conclusion that... it's the same Metavee.
