Nozomi maintains her stance, determination crossing her features. Whatever was to happen, Nozomi knew that she’d follow her heart to the very end.

Her voice quivers, but she holds her ground, locking her gaze firmly on her father. She prays that he really wouldn’t; she’d be twice as devasted at the fact that he was willing to pull the trigger to avenge his dead wife, rather than protect his living daughter.

It would be too much to bear. Just this once, she wanted to be selfish, wanted Eli to herself. She gave her something no-one else could, the feeling of home — of love.
