I just stayed there, listening.
I didn't move during the time Mai let out her emotions, I couldn't. I didn't want to. I wanted her to let it all out.
Things won't be the same as they were before, that is certainly true. I know we'll have an awkward air surrounding us as we try to patch up the 'vase' that has been dropped and shattered to pieces.
But hey! At least we are on speaking terms with each other.
We won't have that angry, gloomy, or whatever aura surrounding us constantly at all times.
"Shit… shit…" She smacked my chest lightly with her soft punches.
I couldn't help but take hold of that small hand slowly.
I brought it up to my forehead while her face was still buried in my chest.
Ah, how sad it is. That such hands, the hands of such person have to go through this hell.
At that moment, I think I was fully filled with emotions of sadness and bitterness from top to bottom of the being that defined me.
