Kirika walked in a daze, not really paying atention to anything. She played that last scene in her mind, over and over again. *Our promise is over. Get out of here, Kirika. I never want to see you again.* "I'm so sorry, Mireille," she whispered. "I wish I'd never let it slip." She was so caught up in her thoughts she almost bumped into a certain purple-haired girl wearing a green cloak. "Oh, sorry," Kirika mumbled as she narrowly missed her target. "Hey," the girl said as she grabbed Kirika's shoulders, "Is something wrong?" Kirika looked up. "Oh. It's you, Chloe." "Is something wrong?" Kirika looked back down. "...It's Mireille. I did something... terrible..." Chloe raised an eyebrow. "I told her I loved her." Chloe tried not to let her jealousy show. "And?" "And...she ended our promise. She never wants to see me again." Kirika's voice broke as she fought the urge to cry. Once again, Chloe raised an eyebrow and tried to contain her jealousy. "Promise?" "That she would kill me when we found the truth." Anger gripped Chloe and she squezzed Kirika's shoulders. "What kind of 'friend' would impose that kind of condition on you?" "I don't mind. Really." "Well I do. I won't stand for it. She won't be killing you if I have my way. Come with me." She dragged Kirika by the arm. "Where are we going?" Kirika asked as Chloe hijacked some abandoned car. "We're going back home." "Back home?" "You do want to go somewhere you're appreciated, don't you? And learn about your past?" "...Yes." "Then let's go." Chloe hotwired the car and took off for the Manor. "Tell me, why do you put up with what your friend does to you?" Kirika looked down again. "She's the only one...who views me as a person. I'm just a target to everyone else. One they need dead." "I view you as a person, too. There's no excuse for her using you like she does. I would never do that to you." "Thanks, Chloe." "Don't worry, once we get home, you'll find out everything, and not be killed afterward. And you'll be with me." Chloe couldn't help but smile at the thought. Her expression grew sour as she added, "And your friend? I never liked her, but now I hate her, for what she did to you. If I ever see her again I'll kill her. And she's uninvited from tea."
