"We have to go back!" I shouted at Arius. He only glanced at me, but kept running.
I chased after him, and when I finally caught up, I grabbed his arm.
"Come on! Let's go back." But he pulled away from me.
"No! I won't— not until I save her!" he screamed, and for the first time, I saw him cry.
"Arius, stop! No matter what you do, if she's meant to die… it's her time." He collapsed to his knees, sobbing.
"Why are you here?" he asked me, looking up through his tears.
I didn't know why I was here, either.
I was about to step closer when suddenly something rushed at me. I couldn't move.
"Reiya!" I heard Arius shout my name, but then everything went black.
