Crossing fates

Time eater

-2B POV-

We were in the party once more, Ahri and Marie were talking with Ellyn to calm things down, I was currently sitting again in our table, seeing Ruby trying to rise up the mood of her friends, and by their faces, it wasn't working.

I don't know how they are feeling, not entirely, it's actually hard to feel sympathy for them when I don't really know how they are feeling exactly, I can imagine that they're confused, but I can't recognize something beyond that.

My thoughts were others though, I keep thinking about Asriel and what he did earlier. Was it right? He didn't harm the man, he was completely unharmed when we saw him, was it an illusion he made with phantom? Or maybe he healed the wound with Camael?

Was it something bad? Yang and Weiss seemed to be very shocked about it, even scared. Should I be like them? I made my decision weeks ago, I didn't have anything to return back in my world. I don't even know if 9S is still there, I don't know if he survived the fell of YoRHa, but I just want to leave behind all that pain.

All I wish is for him to be enjoying this freedom at my side, see his innocent smile once more.

I turned my sight to the crow of people, my visor was tied in my left arm and my eyes were visible, I noticed some people looking back at me, I returned the glare, but their faces went all red and they turned away.

My gaze wandered more until I was just looking at the city, my eyes were caught by something in one of the roofs that were visible from the platform. The silhouette of a women, at least that's what I'm guessing since I'm seeing a dress.

I couldn't help but feel some... threatening atmosphere coming from her. I saw back to the girls and thought on what to do, Ruby, Weiss and Yang aren't as strong as me, while Ahri wasn't in a good physical state. Taking them to a possible threat could mean unnecessary danger, but then something came to my mind.

I untied the visor from my hand and putted on my face once more without anyone noticing it, then facing to the silhouette in the rooftops, she didn't move, almost like she want me to keep noticing her presence. But the visor gave me a signal, a familiar one, the ominous energy I felt from her wasn't just me, she was emitting actual energy, more specifically, the energy from a Seraphim.

I looked back to the girls, Ahri and Marie were still talking with Ellyn and seemed to be more comfortable now, Ruby was still trying to raise the mood for her sister and friend. I'll do this by myself then.

I stood up like I would normally do, but Ruby immediately noticed.

Ruby: Where are you going?

Me: I don't like this mood, I'm going to walk a little around the docks for a while.

Weiss seemed to be interested.

Weiss: Can I come with you?

Even with my emotionless tone, they seemed to be suspecting something.

2B: Sorry, but I need to think some things by myself.

Weiss: S-sure, if you say so.

Like that I left the table and walked towards the entrance until someone grabbed my shoulder, I turned back and saw Ahri there, looking at me with a curious face.

Ahri: Where are you going?

Me: I'm going to walk a little to relieve some stress.

Ahri sighed and then looked around, as to see if anyone was watching us.

Ahri: You are going to investigate the rooftops, right?

My eyes widened.

Me: You noticed?
