Eyes of Purple

Chapter Thirteen

​Oh, forever, forever, forever~

It's shorter than you think...

Because when you want to close your eyes,

You just fall back asleep...

-----------

Which back room?

What were you talking about?

Hello?

He said he'd give you a surprise.

And you listened to him?

No one has ever invaded my thoughts like that.

And before you say anything of the sort- you don't count.

Are... you alright?

Please don't pretend like you care about me...

I would never go that low. I may despise having to work with you... But we are still a part of each other. I care for your safety and well-being.

Something's there.

You're just seeing things again.

Yeah... Yes, I suppose you're right.

It's all still so strange to me...

At least you still have a body to walk around in.

Let's not get into this argument again, Mari.

I- Oh.

Why is this door closed...

Oh...

What is it?

Oh dear...

Mari, what is going on, what happened?

Four children... Oh the ground... I don't- they look so sad...

Mari...

I... I could give them a present? To cheer them up?

Mari.

But they're not saying anything... Maybe-

-Mari!

...Yes?

Are any alive.

Two... are breathing heavily. One's crying. Another seems to be coughing.

Are they bleeding.

Heavily.

Is there a chance of him coming back?

If I know anything about him, yes.

...Then you know what you have to do.

I can't do that.

You must. It's their only chance.

The children could die.

They're already dying. This at least gives them some sort of help, Mari. You already know that it can be done.

What happened to us was a fluke.

Mari, what choice do we have?!

... You're right.

-----------

Giving gifts, is giving life,

And once upon a times are a joke,

Because the moment that I let you go,

Was the moment my fairy tale broke...
