Otomeken and Akira had met at a random test more than a year ago. After a very close moment where Otomeken thought she would be joining her mothers in the afterlife, they had emerged very close friends and had eventually made their way to this lagoon where they had other adventures that tested them.
That night, there was a nearly full moon and litterally thousands of fireflies surrounding them as they swam together and later camped. That night, Otomeken still had her sight. This night however, Otomeken sat on that same flat stone that her and Akira had so long ago and could only listen to the fireflies... Listen to that and the approaching heart beat...
"You know you can't hide from me Akira, I know your heartbeat. What are you doing here?" Otomeken asked. Her tone was actually sad, but not at the fact that Akira was there, on the contrary, she was very happy to be joined at this spot by Akira...

"I'm not trying to hide." Akira said to her as she walked across the water towards where Otomeken sat. 'What are you doing hre?"

Otomeken lay down on the rock facing the water on her side. "Thinking, dreaming, remembering." She waved at her hand at everything. "I used to be able to see all of this. I remember it. I was here with you that night, you showed me this place..." For some reason, Otomeken sounded lonely...

"This is my place." She said as if she was about to tell Otomeken to leave. Instead she walked over and sat with her on the rock. "I'm glad your here."

Otomeken reached behind her until she found Akria's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "That sounds as if you have a reason to be glad I'm here," she said just as softly...

Akira let out a deep sigh and turned bending over and resting her arm on Otomeken's shoulder. "I........" she said and then sighed again not wanting to finish her sentence.

Otomeken's skin rippled with goosebumps at Akira's intimate touch, "Akira," she breathed out, trying to figure out what was going on inside her head all of a sudden...

"I like it here." She said to her not moving from her position yet.

Otomeken inhaled. "I haven't been back since... Well... I just needed to come here. I missed it... I... I missed the company too..."

"I've miss you" Akira said as if forcing out the words because she couldn't hold them in anymore

Otomeken turned in Akira's arm so that she would see the single tear fall. "It's different now... I... I'm not going to try to date you anymore. But... But I still love you Akira," Otomeken said and kissed her forehead like she used to...

"Akira saw her tear and felt bad. "I always make you cry." she said placing a hand on Otomeken's cheek.

"It's a happy tear this time," Otomeken said and smiled. "So... What were you doing coming back here tonight?"

"I don't really know. I was feeling alone and I felt the need to come here. Your popular lately. I never see you alone. Not that i realy see you at all." she said a little sad

"Missions," Otomeken said half as an excuse. "Sadatsu and Glag need so much practice... They're nothing like you for doing missions with. And..." Otomeken wasn't sure if Akira wanted to hear it or not, "I... I was attacked again... The same guys... They were at my house again.... more of them...."
