"Oh Reef!" I murmur worriedly "I'm so sorry about....." I look towards my body, on top of his "this, all my friends"
"It's ok" he says nonchalantly, even though I know it isn't
"Guard? Ah! Miss could you do me a favour and, well, move us?" I question innocently
"Me?! Help an Offender! I'd be in your place, or worse!" She yells curtly
"So we can't move?"
"No!" She bellows "In fact..." She wanders off and I hear hushed whispered voices. Suddenly, she returns with another Guard, bellowing "You, sir, make sure these two are not moved prolong that despicable girl's stay at once! Keep them touching! Make her life hell!" We are moved closer and Reef glowers, at me! All of our shared happiness and bonds are changed to cold glares. All of the times, all we learn about each other is replaced by something. Hatred.
"Reef, I" I stutter, trailing off "I'm sorry! I couldn't be more sorry! Don't hate me, please"
