"I'm begging you... Xiaoxia, leave."
"I don't want to hurt... hurt..."
The heavy atmosphere made the surrounding darkness even thicker.
Yukawa Maki's face completely melted into the forest-white spine, leaving only a vague mouth opening and closing. A few hoarse syllables peeled away countless shadows of memories they once shared, finally shattering into a mirror, cutting the dark red-haired girl all over.
"Xiaoxia, I... like you..."
The monster hauled its bloated body out of the bathroom stall, its huge abdomen bursting the stall open, splinters flying everywhere. Its slender arm reached for Mori's face, as if to caress or to tear that pretty face apart.
"Xiaoxia... cute... like..."
The monster's slender sharp claws rested on Mori's shoulder, its distorted large face leaning close to the girl, sharp spider legs scratching deep marks on the tiled floor, sparks flying, creating an ear-piercing noise.
"Be with me, Xiaoxia, together forever."
