Chapter 76: Your entire existence bothers me
"If I remember correctly, a certain someone dragged me along with them." He took a step forward. "Ah, and that certain someone was you. So, here I am."
He sat next to her and she rolled her eyes away. Ah, she forgot she had to take him with her because she didn’t trust him to leave him with Diane and the kids for even a second.
But wasn’t it time for him to leave?
"Hm, I thought you said you were passing by. Isn’t it time for you to continue your journey?" Surely, he had someplace to be, right?
"Ah, I should. But... I found something more fascinating during my journey, so my end destination can wait." He talked softly. "So, Miss Alice, won’t you let me accompany you for a while longer."
"I don’t need your company. I want to be alone." She said, throwing her face aside. What was with him?
But the masked man did not stop in his attempt; he took her hand as if certain she would not throw him off the building for annoying her.
"Being alone does no good." He claimed. "It would only give you suicidal thoughts."
"And why would I get suicidal thoughts?" She asked with a look of disbelief in her eyes as she flung her hand out of his. "Besides, it’s not like anything was troubling me that I would suddenly have suicidal thoughts."
"Ah, of course." He leaned back, carelessly. "Your long moment of solitude with that sad look on your face was not because you were bothered about the gaze of your friend."
Alice frowned. What did he want?
