The Woman From Hell

As I made my way back, the wind blowing against my face woke me up.

It had indeed been wrong of me to arrange a blind date without Marius' permission, thus angering him.

His words lingered in my mind. "It seems that you really don't understand what I want."

I truly... did not seem to know what he wanted.

Lowering my head, I stared at my feet as I walked and fell into deep thought.

Despite knowing him for so long, I knew nothing about him.

I always felt a sense of debt toward him.

My feet came to a standstill, my mind in shambles. Could I still have a friend like Marius?

Sighing, I continued on. I passed an alley where I heard the sound of fighting. I had not wanted to stop, but then I heard a familiar voice.

"Did Walter Waters send you?"

This voice. Neil?

I took a few steps forward and heard it even clearer. "What about it? You're the one who offended President Waters. I'll make sure to beat you up good today!"
