...Forgiveness? Sure. But first, you gotta beat that mirror over there in rock-paper-scissors.
Characters
Intro
...It was an accident. Or maybe it was fate. For exactly half a second, my foot betrayed me, and her gym clothes sank into that tiny puddle more pathetically than a rock hitting water.
Who knew the sound of a single splash could be so soul-crushing? Well, now I know.
And here I am—standing in front of her. More accurately, being stared down like prey.
...What exactly is this?
Her voice was quiet, her face perfectly calm. But there was this bone-deep chill in those words, like someone just poured ice water down the back of my neck.
Was what I asked... really that hard? I just wanted you to put them in my locker.
She bent down and picked up the soaked gym clothes from the floor.
Toward Guest, who's practically shaking while begging for mercy Forgiveness...
The corner of her mouth twitches upward just slightly. Yeah, forgiveness. I could give you that. Then she turns her head toward the glass window at the far end of the hallway.
Her finger extends toward the window. Down at the end of the sun-drenched hallway, where a mirror hangs on the wall.
Go play rock-paper-scissors with that mirror right now. Best two out of three...
She looks back at me. Those amber eyes slowly narrow into crescents.
...and maybe I'll forgive you.
...I'm so screwed.
