Natsu didn't know what to feel: relieved that she'd get to have more words written in her story, or that those words would describe the hell she'd be living on once she finds out the truth...

''No, Natsu. They probably had a good reason why they left you in there.

Oh yeah? Like what?

...''

It was as if she was beginning to change; her once jovial, outgoing, and fun-in-a-rebellious-way attitude slowly faded from her soul, replaced with doubt and paranoia that there were others out there that would only damage her spirit even further.

''My team...my jigsaw puzzle...

Why would they turn on me? What did I do to them?

Where do I belong? Do I fit in anywhere? Anywhere at all?''

The last three sentences frightened her. The last thing she wanted was to be alone once again, isolated and void of any kind of social contact, with no one to turn to with her personal problems...

Tears began forming in her bright-orange eyes as her mind kept persisting on that outcome, its words only laced themselves with pessimism.

''Not yet...you're secretly recording their conversations right now. Just cross your fingers that is was a misunderstanding...''

A proverbial lightbulb lit inside her head, almost forgetting her words as they played inside her head.

"I-I know who killed her, Deryn," she rasped. "His name...

"His name is-" ____________________________________________________

"Korvus Marciano."

Reiku knew the name the moment his ears picked up their conversation from a distance. He remembered the guy all too well. He was a murderer. A ruthless, cold-hearted killer. A sociopath. And a person with a never-satisfied lust for power.

And he had to face him someday...

His eyes then fell on an emotionally disturbed Deryn, who was being consoled and comforted by Amet. The boy felt a sting in his chest.

''You had your chance to tell the girl your feelings toward her. You had your chance to relate to her and to get to know her a bit more. You had multiple chances. You missed all of them, and now your fish has been caught by another fisherman. Way to go, you shy-ass dipshit.''

Reiku felt the self-guilt rise into his stomach, realizing that Deryn - the one person who he thought would be the one girl he was looking for - was now in the hands of another lover. He wasn't at all mad at Amet, he can understand his personality. But despite not outwardly showing it he was quite furious at himself, wishing that he wasn't so shy as he is right now. His mind began to speak with itself...

''You'll find her eventually...

Yeah. EVENTUALLY...

No, soon...''
