Chie smiled when it seemed as though Fumio wouldn't rip the pictures, yet her face saddened as he did indeed tear it straight down the middle. She was pretty much silent, and was going to honor her word until he suddenly kissed her, much longer than one who wanted to forget would do. So when he finished speaking, she couldn't help but slap him. "Idiot! Fear is reasonable. Yet don't go assuming I can't defend myself from some people. It's sweet that you care about me, but don't go insulting me to think that just because you have memories of me that I could very well die. If that was the case I would have died long ago Fumio. So if you want to forget me thats fine, but don't ask for me to forget you..... And deep down were all murderers.... I think about it all the time, like the time the swarm attacked and I had to burn them all alive in one attack, I couldn't just wait for everyone to get out. I'm sure I murdered an innocent person that day, probably multiple people." Chie said as she took a deep breath and turned around as she closed her eyes. "I'll give you ten seconds, walk away if there is no changing your mind."
Fumio could see it coming, and just as he expected, a slap shot across his face. He was used to being slapped so the sting wore off quickly, however the emotion it carried and caused lingered.... Fumio listened to Chie, his eyes to the floor and hair still covering them from sight, however they were growing gently wider as Chie spoke.
'You don't understand... I'm a liar... I'm not innocent... I don't deserve you...' He wanted to say those words aloud but couldn't get himself to interrupt Chie, he only continued to listen...
'I killed for personal gain... but mainly for the thrill... how can you want to be with some like me?.... but how are you making me... feel so much...' Chie then turned around and told him that he had ten seconds to walk away and this was final. Shooting his head up, Fumio looked at the back of Chie's head, watching as wind swept through her crimson locks. His eyes were wide.
'I don't... wan't to... but how can I be so selfish? You're the one person I don't want to hurt or even scratch... I can't protect you... I have to go...' Fumio looked down, about to step away but then a memory passed through his mind, the first time he met Chie, followed by their first kiss... When she tried to punch him, when they were starting to get together... When they worked together, when they went on dates together... when they first got intimate with each other...
"This is all... too much..." closing his eyes, before Fumio knew it, his arms had wrapped around Chie protectively...
"No... I can't let you go... I won't let her touch you! Even if it fucking kills me, I will protect you.... Against her... against your brother.. against anyone.... I won't let them lay a finger on you." Fumio just let himself talk without thinking, his eyes still closed as a tear slid down his left cheek. As this happened, Fumio tighten his grip on Chie a little, opening his eyes slightly.
"I-I... can't... I tried to leave you because of her... because of Ursula... Again and again she won't leave my mind... my mind tells me to leave you but... my heart won't let me...." Fumio whispered, his voice rough with emotion as he gently kissed Chie's cheek.
"... I love you Chie... but I don't understand... why do you want me to stay?...."
