"You ain't with
Sul today?"
Toto spoke up.
"She fell asleep
on her desk
three periods ago,"
I chuckled,
"not my fault if
she ends up missing lunch."
"You're an awesome friend,"
Toto praised.
I laughed
at the clear sarcasm,
not caring to defend myself.
In the quiet,
empty, computer lab,
only the air conditioning
was louder, colder,
than our coral giggles.
"Let's get some
coffee, alright?"
I stood up.
"Much adored,
ma'am,"
Toto waved.
I was ready
to step out of the room,
to where the usual
vending machine stood--
Then she remembered.
Rulekeeper has lost a life.
Just thinking of it,
made me shiver,
and I clutched my shoulder--
where that wound I
swore was there in my dream--
That searing burn was terrible.
It didn't feel like just
an imagination.
If I died again...
would it be similarly painful?
Or would it be more agonizing?
I... I didn't
didn't
didn't
didn't
want to feel it again, ever.
I was Rulekeeper now.
get a grip. You are Rulekeeper.
Rules were now broken
at the cost of my life.
Was it worth it?
No, not at all.
"Wait, nevermind,"
I forced the dry laughter
out of my nervous throat.
I have to put on an act now.
"Hm?"
"I think I'm fine
without coffee
after all,"
I decided,
settling back down
on the ground.
"What?
But I want coffee,"Toto whined.
"Get some exercise,
pudgy," a witty tease.
"Lunch is almost
over, anyways."
Toto turned away
with a disappointed pout,
And I sighed, relieved.
