Chapter 62: The Endless Eight - Part 8

A/N: Hello again and welcome back for this week's chapter! 

I  just wanna take a moment to thank everyone who continues to come back and read these chapters every week and leave the nice comments. I read 99% of all of them, so even if I might not respond, I do read them at the very least.

Chapter 62: The Endless Eight – Part 8

As the ground dragon carriage rumbled along, Lyra and Rem felt their perspective pangs of guilt. It hadn't hit them until now, but neither of them could believe their actions. To betray Beatrice in such a cruel way, and for things to take such an unforeseen and unpredictable turn with the self destruction of what was supposed to be an esteemed property of the Mathers family.

It's all because this loop is a throwaway. is what they kept telling themselves, trying to justify actions they couldn't accept as their own.

Neither of them said it to each other, but they both knew that was on their mind.

On the main road to Costuul still, the two were silent as they heard faint mumblings from inside the carriage where Emilia and Subaru still sat, unknowing of the brash actions taken not so long ago, and oblivious to the events that would still surely take place.

While a guilt still increased in her own chest having told Rem that this would need to be a loop where she herself would not be continuing on with, her own thoughts began to get the better of himself.

Maybe that's also on Rem's mind... I should say something again even though I know we still already talked about it... Granted, that was before we did what we had to back at the mansion, so they might have shaken her up again...

Looking over to the maid that sat to her right on the drivers bench, Lyra could see her single visible azure eye beautifully reflecting the late evening sun that was burning orange just above the horizon. With Lyra in charge of the reins, Rem was looking at the sunset with a somber expression. One leg crossed over the other, Rem rested her elbow on the higher leg and rested her chin in turn on her hand.

Or... Maybe I shouldn't bring it up... She might have forgotten that in place of trapping Beatrice and ruining the mansion. It would just be compounding the painful thoughts...

As the carriage proceeded onward, the sun momentarily dipped behind a high hill, putting them in a dark shadow. With the change in brightness, this caused Rem to notice Lyra was looking at her. At first turning her eyes, she saw her. Smiling, she uncrossed her legs, placed both her hands in her lap, and turned in Lyra's direction.

Rem: It makes Rem's heart flutter when she sees her Lyra-chan gazing at her so intensely...

With a small blush growing on her face, Rem tilted her head when she saw the continued worried expression on Lyra's face.

Rem: —? Lyra-chan, is something wrong?

Unable to lie to the person who held her heart, Lyra said what was on hef mind.

Lyra: Rem... I could ask you the same thing.

Tilting her head to the opposite side, Rem asked what Lyra meant.

Rem: Lyra-chan could ask the same thing of Rem?

Casting her eyes downward, Rem couldn't hide her feelings either.

Rem: Then the answer to that would be 'yes.' Just like Lyra-chan, Rem too is distressed after having to do the things we've done so far, and more than likely, that won't be the end of it...

Looking back up, Rem pushed back her negative emotions and smiled.

Rem: But Rem must be as strong as Lyra-chan.
