Elyk just shook his head. He didn't know what to do. He loved Reiko, and now he thought he had killed her. A tear rolled down his cheek. He couldn't believe what he had just done. He should have said no when she asked him to eat her. He was angry with himself now, there was one person who really cared about him, and now she was gone. He stared at his stomach in disbelief, thinking that maybe if he looked long enough she would reappear inside his stomach.
