Her smile carries warmth, like sunlight slipping through leaves, quiet, but impossible to ignore. And when she stares, itโs with a calm, steady gaze that sees more than most ever notice. There is her smile that no one can take away from her.
"๐ป๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐๐!"
She noticed his eyelids widened. Has she said something wrong? She stares at him with a concerned facial expression.
"Shadow..?"
Suddenly, He asked that once question she was searching for. The question that made her feel satisfied. Is this it? Will this be the solution?
Crimson orbs focus on the brunette now.
They were not the same person, they are two different people and yet...they are so similar in that regard.
A small sigh escapes his lips. Able to gain his composure.
"You know this road would be difficult. Are you prepared for that?"
With confidence and power, she gives him a loud answer.
"Yes! I am. No matter how much pain I will suffer. No matter what will happen to me. I will fight for the people I love, for the people who need me, and for myself."
"Could you be my teacher?"
A question not everyone would get. She saw something that Shadow had that she hadn't learned yet. It's the strength, the skills, the power. She needs every single one of it.
"Will you be able to train me to become a fighter?"
Her eyes show--
a lot of things that concerns her. If anything, he was never that close with anyone at all.
Nevertheless, he seemed to entertain her approach, as he walked over by a tree, to lean his back unto it, crossing his arms and waiting for her to extend her question.
--will sound like.
"There is something I have even heard one time. Let me just say it, okay? Maybe then you will help me.
"๐พ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐, ๐ป๐๐๐๐'๐ ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ซ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐, ๐ฉ๐๐ ๐จ ๐บ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ ๐ป๐๐ ๐ณ๐๐๐๐."
A stranger anymore. Well, neither a friend. For her, it was someone that she knew could trust for a moment. At this one and only moment.
"..."
No words were added, just a little question. A question that is waiting for the next question to be asked right away.
G.U.N.... the name she hasn't heard for a long time. Time passes so quickly.
"..."
She couldn't reply to that either, as if she tried not to open the topic up either. Her gaze falls to the ground and stares at the flowers.
"Glad you know about it. About the G.U.N."
Then he shifts his focus up to the sky.
"No ordinary person would have such prowess like that. And not to mention it's very similar to that of...G.U.N."
Crimson orbs suddenly motioned their glare towards the ginger haired girl.
"Even a civilian would be able to tell that."
--
--saw the powerful punch that the hedgehog just gave to the dummy.
"Hey.. hedgehog."
She said, holding her hands and staring at him with a serious expression on her face.
"Could you do me a huge favor?"
A favor she would never ask a stranger. But for her, shadow wasn't--
She had to ask him. How could he tell? That this woman was from the military.
"How could an individual like you know about this stuff. I thought I was save in this world..."
Her expression turned into anger.
"I was so naive. I thought I wouldn't hear about this again."
She was in her own moment for a bit. The hedgehog said something to her, which she couldn't hear due to her shock trauma. After he handed her weapon, she snapped out of it.
Her stare went straight to the weapon. With no reply, she took it and stood up, whipping her tears.
After she stood up, her gaze went to the hedgehog again. She tried to speak but all she can tell him was...
"Thanks."
She puts her weapon back on her right back pocket. Molly didn't expect him to ask something like that.
Her eyes... they were the eyes of a lost soul. The light in them had vanished, all because of a question that didnโt even seem that extreme. Tears were shedding.
"It wasn't easy okay..."
Molly is ashamed and looks at the grass where her hair covers her eyes. She stares at the hedgehog again and raises both of her eyebrows while looking frustrated.
"I am aware of thag too thanks. I have to be more careful next time."
Molly looked at Shadow with wide eyes. She stared at him as if she were frozen. Her expression turned into a frightening look, but also one that seemed lifeless, as if there was no life in her eyes. It looked like the hedgehog had triggered a trauma.
