Worry
Cherry
still sat at the window. She was in a sea of worry. “I hope Sakura’s
okay.”
she thought. The cupid-chan shuddered at the thought of anything bad
happening
to her.
Cherry
heard footsteps in the distance. She slowly turned to the sound. Ed
stood in
the doorway. She looked forlorn. The cupid-chan was taken-aback. This
was the
first time she ever saw the hacker sad like this.
Cherry
flew to Ed slowly. “I know how you feel.” she murmured. The cupid-chan
could
see into Ed’s eyes. They were flooded with worry and despair. That was
an
advantage of mystics over humans. They could see into the hearts and
souls of
humans through their eyes.
Ed
felt like crying again. Cherry sensed it. “Come sit with me at the
window.” she
said serenely. The hacker nodded as her eyes welled up with tears.
Cherry
walked Ed to the window. The girls sat down quietly.
“Cherry-Cherry.”
the hacker whimpered out. The cupid-chan looked up. “Hm?” she asked.
Tears were
ready to spill from Ed’s eyes. Cherry herself felt pitiful all over
again.
“Will
tenshi-lady come home?” Ed asked as she fought back her tears. This
really
moved the cupid-chan. How can she answer if she herself didn’t know?
Well, here
goes.
Cherry
sucked in a mouthful of air. She shut her eyes tightly and gathered up
her
courage.
“I
don’t know,” the cupid-chan spoke up. “But I won’t give up hope!” Ed
finally
broke down and cried. She leaned on Cherry’s shoulder and cried. The
cupid-chan
felt weak. Cherry looked to the ceiling. “This is going to be a long
night!”
she thought.
