He rudely throws her on the desk, and Komori can't move out of fear. Ayato comes closer.
- Can you tell us his name? Then I may be more gentle with you.
- There is no boy, - she says sharply.
Ayato comes closer, with anger in his eyes and the same grin on his face.
- I don't like it when I'm being lied to, - he says, and at the same moment he gets his fangs into a fragile neck.
Yui cries. She has never been as afraid as she was at this very moment. She really felt what vampires' ways of doing. If Komori continues to communicate with Hana, then... Sakamaki can easily catch Hana. If they do something to her, Yui will not survive.
- Why didn't you come? I was waiting for you like a fool, - says Hannah, who caught Yui in the hallway by the end of the day.
Komori just listens to everything Hana says and thinks about what's right to do in this situation.
- Yui, I... I love you, - Hana said unexpectedly.
Yui looks at his girlfriend, wants to answer, but ... remembers Ayato's words. She sees Hana's tears and can't help but touch her one last time.
- Seven seconds, - says Komori to herself.
This phrase is like a reference point. It is necessary to act without thinking about unnecessary things, but also to stop at the right moment in time. Kissing a friend, Yui remembers everything they had and, frankly, doesn't want to end their relationship there, but... seven seconds passes, which means it's time to say goodbye, just like ten years ago.
- Don't leave me. - Hana cries, you don't have to say too much, she understands that this is the end.
- It's for us, - says Yui.
Hana wipes her tears with her jacket sleeve and then looks at her friend angrily.
- It's for me, not us. You're just afraid those guys might do something to me.
Hana's words are like a blow to the heart, and Yui isn't so sure of her decision anymore.
- What do you suggest then? - she's interested.
- Let's run away somewhere right now, - Hana says.
Yui remembers her friend saying the same thing ten years ago to Komori that her father was against their friendship. Is that why this idea seems so reckless and stupid to the point of impossibility, but so desirable?
- They'll find us, - Komori says sadly.
But vampires don't need to find two human girls.
- Where we go, they won't find us.
Yui understands that they probably won't succeed. And believing that vampires won't find them isn't easy either. But can she just give up her feelings and go where her life isn't worth a penny?
***
After all, not everything happens the way you imagine, and even if the vampires have started looking for Comori, he and Hana are unlikely to bring this conversation up again.
It's much more enjoyable to talk to Hannah about such everyday things as ordinary people do, than to remember these creepy vampires again. It's much better to talk about something strange and stupid, but so soulful, than to remember "You're my property," "I'll make you my doll. More happiness comes from light touching and kissing in seven seconds than from those constant bites and rough kisses.
- Hana, - calls her girlfriend Yui, sitting on the sand.
- What? - she says, looking at Komori.
- I love you, - Yui says, smiling.
And at that moment she feels really happy.
