Aoi felt ashamed that she had let those 2 tears drip out, she was better than that. "You left," she whispered. "You left to do what I was too young to do. I understand that now, just as I know that I missed you like I've missed none other." She struggled to keep her composure. All the memories of their training sessions, teasing each other, vowing to be friends kept flooding through her. She thought that she had been through with the pain, she trapped herself at the same age as when he left as a reminder to herself and as a hope that she would one day find him. "I'm sorry about your parents. I heard about it a few days after you left, I just couldn't understand how you could have left me like that. Without a note or anything." She looked him in the eyes, trapping them in her gaze. "Old Krendal was never the same after you left." She quickly broke the gaze, turning away she drooped a little. "Remember when you first came to court and I told you of Ryu being evil?"She asked softly. "I have been through much as well, but none of it shows much." She couldn't face him now, she felt so weak for missing him.
