Chapter 217: Relationships (Part 2)

Ruby's quiet figure could be seen sat by the edge of the ship. She was on her own and staring off into the distance. 

It was a little past dawn, and so the sky was still a little yellow. She slowly turned her head downwards before watching as the tears dropped down one by one onto the her legs. 

"...Gray you idiot." 

"How could you..." She cried. 

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop the tears from flowing out. 

She repeatedly rubbed her eyes, but they would surge out on their own again and again as memories of him would flash through her mind. 

Memories of the times he had saved her. 

Memories of the times they spent having fun at the festival. 

Memories of the words he had said to her, of the times they kissed and made love to one another. 

All those memories came flowing in, making it all more painful than she could ever imagine.
