It had been a year. A year since Playlist. A year since meeting Ellie. A year since Vergil passed away. Justice sat on her couch. Even though she had all he windows in the living room open, it was still gloomy. The light streaming in was a sad light. Justice sighed as she fiddled with a ring. It wasn't just any ring. It was a ring that was found in Vergil's pocket after he died. It was in a small red velvet box. There was a note taped to the bottom that said "You've been looking for a ring. This one isn't special. Yet. What do yah say?" Justice sighed. She wished she knew what to make of it. It had been a whole YEAR and she still had no idea what the note and ring meant. Well.. She did.. But she didn't want to have to admit it to herself. Especially since Vergil was gone. She didn't want to admit that Vergil might have been about to ask her to marry him. It would be too unbearable knowing that she couldn't give him an answer, even if it had been no. Looking at the ring made her feel horrible. It made her think of the day Vergil was electrocuted. She remembered it well. Too well. The paramedics rushed into the building. They had climbed onto the stage and put Vergil on a cot. They rushed him out about as fast as they came in. She only saw him one more time. The hospital. Her, Ellie, and Olivia gathered around his bedside. They waited for change. Nothing happened. Suddenly, his heart rate dropped. The nurses herded the three girls out of the room into the waiting area. After that they never got to see their friend again. The ring also made her think of Ellie. Ellie was wonderful, but she lived so far away. She was very busy too. They tried to stay in contact, but it was so unpleasant to have to think about what happened every time they talked. They tried not to, but Vergil had been included in everything they'd done together. Not to have him around was too obvious. And too painful. The truth was sad. They were growing apart.
