"You're right, Tryst."
I whisper to myself.
"If I die,
he doesn't have to be my companion."

"Who was it?"
I jump as Archer comes back into the living room.
There's a feeling of accomplishment.
Tryst's already gone
without meeting him.

"N-no one."
I lie through my teeth.

He doesn't believe me.

"Who was it?" he demands again.
The trace of annoyance in his voice startles me
I should have thought this through.
But impulse is the only weapon I can carry.
