"You don't really know, do you?" He asked, quietly. His voice sounded emotionless. "This emotion we call love, it isn't something to make a mockery about. You will hurt someone in the progress."
She sat down across from him. "Well, I wouldn't know, would I? I haven't exactly had feelings like that..." She smiled sadly at him. "But that's not the point; you love her, yes?" As a joke, she made an illusion of a human heart in her hand.
Now that Kyle had ran off and Mizuki went after him, Izzy was alone with her thoughts. ...He does seem like a nice guy... and I do kinda love him- Izzy stopped for a moment. She'd never even noticed it before. But were these feelings genuine?
He sighed. "I guess not. Love only seems to break one apart." He heard her second question.
As quietly as a whisper, he said, "Y-Yes..I do." At that very moment, the tears in his eyes finally rolled out.
"It's complicated.." He said, between sobs, "It is too much for me..I do not know what to think. I have never felt love before.."
Mizuki felt extremely uncomfortable. She couldn't hug him or anything, yet simply saying "sorry" wasn't gonna cut it. "I really regret that I teased you like that earlier, I really do." She couldn't do a single thing to help him, even though it was her fault. To simply wallow in shame, she put her head between her knees and stayed like that.
She pushed him again, a bit more forcefully this time. "Absolutely!" She beamed at him. "I'm gonna stay back a little longer, 'cause phew! Boy, do I need some alone time." She wanted to stay back and hoped he would buy her (hopefully) believable lie.
The more Izzy thought about it, the more it seemed to her that her feelings were genuine. But she didn't know what to say to Kyle when he would get back. She had tears in her eyes. She didn't know what to think or how to feel.
(Holy crap, I forgot xD) How can he tell I was lying? Is that his gem power? She crouched down and sighed to herself. How was it that she was helping other's love lives but couldn't do a single thing about hers?
Kyle sped through the branches, thinking about what he was going to say. His thoughts, his movements, all were cut off by the thought of Izzy. His thoughts turned into a jumbled mess. He stared her in the eyes, noticing her tears. He tried holding back his once more, but the tears bursted out.
"I-I.." He couldn't make out the words. He decided to express his love by approaching her and hugging her.
She slowly started to create different people around her, basing them off of faces she thought of. The illusion people surrounded her, chattering happily. But their eyes were blank and dull. Not human. She created more and more of them, until there were too many to count.
Her vision was blurring and she could see spots floating around. Did I strain myself? She kept creating more and more people until she collapsed in the snow, unconscious and doomed to die.
