Evelyn holds me tight, her arms wrapped around my waist as she kisses me. She has no idea just how lucky she really is.
In all my life, I've never given second chances to those who refused my offers even once. So after Evelyn turned down my help with learning to see Hikishin, I simply shouldn't have agreed to help her now.
But strangely, I did. Seeing her so desperate to learn this, so desperate to become just a little bit stronger, actually shook me a little.
'...' I look into her eyes and see small tears, a mixture of desperation, fear, and discomfort.
"..." I release my hands from her face and hug her instead. Like I said before, I'm helping her with the fastest method for this. I'm giving her my own stabilized Hikishin for her to drink.
