Day Ninety-Nine…
After making a deal with Phantomflake, Alexander looked through the airplane's window absentmindedly. Her last question still lingered in his mind– 'Do you love her?'
Subconsciously, he turned to his side, staring at Hanabi's sleeping figure. The doctor made her sleep upon boarding the plane.
A deep frown appeared on his forehead as a hint of worry covered his face. He didn't want to hurt her. But his comrade shot Hanabi while trying to protect him.
"Why do we have to end up like this?" He murmured, extending his hand to caress her face. However, he stopped midway as he hesitated.
He clenched his fist while retracting his hand, restraining himself from touching her.
It did not take long before Hanabi flinched in her seat. She slowly opened her eyes only to meet Alexander's intense gaze. She had no idea what he was thinking right now.
"Where are we?" She asked him, looking around them.
She narrowed her eyes upon realizing they were travelling by plane.
