Dance Of The Dead // Andy Leo (RECONSTR)

8 -Knightmare

A/N: watching Ga Rei: Zero for the first time in like 3-4 years and I'm just crying like enough to flood nations halp. I've taken a very special saying from there, I'm pretty positive you hardcore anime fans can guess what!

"That's wrong, isn't it?" somewhere close enough to look, but not close enough to touch, Caroline is watching her best friend with eerie eyes. She knows the answer to the question already. Andrew knows the answer to the question. The man cloaked in black standing next to her knows the answer to the question. Everyone knows

"Yes, it is, but....." just for dramatic effect, the man pauses mid way but quickly continues when he sees the hope lighting up Caroline's face "He loves her" the mysterious man mumbles, stroking his chin in deep thought before grabbing Caroline's hand and tugging her away from the scene. She glances back one last time, her heart breaking because of it.

If that weirdo loves her. He would never hurt her... Right?

"Would you kill someone you love, because of love?"

"I'm so cold!" I whined for like the 33rd time, tripping over my own feet once again and bumping into Andrew. He seemed too concentrated to even care about my poor footing and kept walking. Due to my also very poor navigation skills and absolutely wacky irrational thoughts, I'd been following him around like a lost puppy for the last ten or so minutes.

A part of me kept saying this was all a dream so there was nothing to fear, and the other part was wondering if I could buy a bucket of hot chocolate for 2.80$ and then swim in it

That part of me, I was certain, was just a side effect of the frickin hypothermia that was surely setting in on my bones. I felt mildly concerned, yet I still found myself voicing it

"I'm almost 30% sure that I might have severe hypothermia. I know, that's not a lot to go on, but--" I inhaled a much-needed deep breath before continuing "But I'm probably gonna die from it soon, so, that's nice" I inhaled another deep breath, suddenly finding it hard to just breathe normally. Andrew glanced at me a few times before he completely stopped walking and turned to face me with a wary look

"I know this all seems.... very strange. Being here with me, seeing things, being possessed.... I can stop the pain you've been feeling for so lo--" he began speaking but stopped abruptly, giving me time to snicker. What is strange anymore?

Nothing seemed the slightest bit strange anymore. I'm fairly certain I can lick my elbow without dislocating my arm, maybe the cow really did jump over the moon, and maybe Andrew has these forever-creepy-black-soulless eyes yet it's not really effecting me the way that it should. But maybe that's the hypothermia speaking. Maybe all of that is the hypothermia speaking

"Naaaah" I mumbled, waving my hand dismissively. Nothing was strange anymore. Nothing at all

He narrowed his eyes at me "For you to be such a normal oblivious human, you have a pure, untouched soul. I don't understand how.... You worship none. You believe in none... But could that be why you're untouched? Or maybe it's just the fact that you're so.... dense" he rambled loudly until the last part. He mumbled that part. But I still heard it.
