Love is overrated!
Zaelek frowned, unable to understand why he was suddenly the bad guy. He was told to answer honestly and that was exactly what he did...!
"Don't follow me!" Akira exclaimed, almost sounding as if he was crying.
Zaelek stopped for a few seconds but then continued following the man.
"Leave me alone! I don't want to see your face!"
Zaelek rolled his eyes as he heard this but did not bother stopping.
"Do you not understand basic human language?! Why are you still following?"
Zaelek grabbed Akira's hand from behind and pulled the man back, saving him from being hit by a bike.
"Stop being stubborn. You could get hurt like that."
Akira turned to look at Zaelek. His eyes red with tears, he spoke, "I'm already dead. What could be worse?"
"..." Zaelek took a deep breath as he thought about it and took a minute to respond, "Actually... A lot of things."
Akira couldn't help but scoff as he asked, "Like what?"
