 | Subject: Memories Resurface  Fri Nov 20, 2015 7:17 am | |
| "Are you coming or what?" That voice... it sounded so familiar... Memories had begun to resurface about what was going on here... Since Tomoe had explained the current situation in great detail, perhaps that was the cause of this sudden flasback? Caestus sat underneath that very same tree he had woken up under earlier this morning... or whenever that was. Time seemed to had come to a complete standstill, and yet... Why did this flashback seem to be from such a long time ago."Geez... You're hopeless, Caestus, you know that?" Why? Why did these memories suddenly come back, after all this time...? // I haven't forgotten about you... // Things were finally falling into place. He had arrived here a little more than a year ago... Before this whole incident had even started. Now, Ueitawa was completely shut off from the outside world. That much he figured out on his own thanks to Tomoe's story. The alternate realities... The Kings... All of it. What was he doing here, exactly? Waiting for Jin, Mir and Tomoe to come back after their little talk with this Soki, hoping for good news. That was what they needed right now. Kogami had been dragged away. The kids who had gone into the lab had not yet shown up... Did they die? Or were they alive still, trapped somewhere? Aburai seemed to have faith in them... If you could call it faith. And Caestus relation to that man certainly hadn't improved... He would be forced to work together with him regardless, whether he liked it or not. "Not working together! That's your problem! I can't solve this on my own! And Neither can you!" That girl knew him too well... She had been trying to fix his reluctancy of working together for the better half of a whole year... She knew her way around him, which buttons to push, and which to avoid."I know, Shizuka..." The sooner he found her, the better... She was in that tower. She just had to be. Or maybe she was trapped in one of the alternate realities...? One of her own? Maybe... All he could do right now was pray... pray that she was alive so that he could tell her that he was sorry... sorry for not being able to keep that promise."I'll be there to protect you, always." Pshyeah... So much for that. Caestus chuckled lightly. How could he have been so... overconfident back then? Sure, it was a whole year ago, but still, it's not like that much time had passed since. And if there was anything he had learned over these past couple of hours was... he couldn't find her alone... He needed help. Was he going to ask the others for that? Maybe, if he could swallow his pride. Even if he understood the concept of teamwork now... Didn't mean he was a paticularly big fan of it. People could be unreliable... But right now, he didn't have much of a choice... He had to swallow his pride and ask for help... For her sake... | |
