a new perspective

The Leaving

It was the next day, I had been doing nothing except waiting for the time to meet up with the others.

There was still an hour before I had to meet up with the others so I was reading a book that I was able to get my hands on. I was resting in the 'bed' that I had but then I heard someone knock on the door.

I walked over to the door and opened it to see Anis on the other side.

"Can I come in?" she asked.

"Y-Yeah." I said.

Moving out of the way, she walked inside, looking around, and sat down on the bed. I followed and laid against the wall beside her.

"Your room is rather empty, heheh..." she laughed. It was easy to tell that she wasn't mentally prepared to be here.

"Sooo, why are you here?" I asked.

"I... am here to ask something."

I nodded before waiting for her to continue.

"Is.... Are you.....I don't know...."

She didn't know what to say. She stopped talking for a bit, probably collecting herself.

"Is there something wrong with me....?" she finally said.

"?" I looked at her confused. It was something that was out of nowhere, it was weird. "What do you mean?"

She looked down at the floor. "Whenever I am near you, I always feel.....different."

"....."

"I don't know what it means but I just feel like I shouldn't be near you..."

It became silent.

This was....something. It was odd that she felt this way.

I don't know why this is happening, I don't know anything about this or how this can happen and I don't believe it could be from my technique because I haven't had this effect on someone before.

I sat down beside her and patted her on the back while putting some curse energy into her.

She tensed up from it, not being used to it, as she looked over to me still wanting an answer.

"If.. I am going to be honest, I... don't know anything about this." I said. She looked at me before sighing and looking back to the floor.

"Oh.... I guess there is nothing I can-" she was stopped as the curse energy that I was putting into her started to go into effect. "What the...."

She was surprised, looking around, she could see the things that I was doing in my free time.

"What...is this...?"

The room was filled with curse energy that was easy to see for people. This was meant for the commander but it seems that it was more in need of it for Anis.

"That is curse energy." I said, looking at her. "Do you feel better?" I asked.

She nodded, not saying anything.

Nodding, I got up before grabbing my things to get ready.

"You should probably leave and get ready, it is almost time for us to leave for the meet up zone."

"O-Okay." she said before getting up and leaving.

She stopped. "Thank you." she said before leaving the room.

'That was... something.' I thought before getting my things ready.

-------

I was at the meet up zone waiting for the others to get here. I was watching the area and saw that only a few other people were here as well.

The commander was also here, standing beside me. We weren't really talking with each other.

"How has your time here been?" he asked suddenly.

"It has been alright I guess. I haven't really been here for long enough." I said. He nodded.

"That's fair." he said.

We stopped talking again.

In the distance, I could see Rapi, Anis and Neon walking together to us.

The commander waved to them when he noticed them. They waved in return before finally reaching us.

"So how have you guys been?" the commander asked.

"It was fine commander." said Rapi.

"Yeah. I'm just fine and dandy." said Anis.

"I'm fine." said Neon.

He nodded. "Alright then let's get going." he said before walking to the thing that is taking us away.

-------

The place was in ruins. Almost all the buildings were destroyed with a few that were still up and standing.

We were walking to the dorms that were used for the commander after looking at the dorms for the Nikke's.

Entering the dorm, it was easy to see how the 2 were different. Compared to the Nikke dorm, the commander had a well made room that wasn't dirty. Anis ran to the bathroom and the sound of water could be heard.

"This is unfair." said Anis as she walked out of the bathroom.

"Yeah, it is." said Neon.

"Well there is nothing we can do about it." said Rapi. "We should probably get some rest while we can."

"Alright." I said.

It was something to see the place, I just hope we can get some rest before having another mission.
