"You're avoiding the pink haired lady, boss~" Misa joined in. Whether it would turn out to be good or painful, she and her bestie simply had to stick their noses into others' business. Life was too short to be subtle! "What gives? Oh! Wait! Idea. If we kick your ass, you spill everything! If you kick ours, ...we shall still persist. Deal?!" she gave her one-sided offer, suddenly full of life as azure wind began sweeping through the training room. Misa pounded her fist into her open palm, making an ever-so-slight shockwave in the air. Apparently the battle with Azazel had buffed up her power. Even if only a little, Meli was here - not even Tamotsu could stand against them! ...Or that's what the confident little Mage thought, anyway.
Luka was already walking the busy London streets by now, on her way to an Enforcer HQ to see what else she might dig up on the Shades. She wouldn't bring Tamotsu with her this time.
...If there was a chance Takashi was still alive... Luka was weighing her options. Maybe it would be better off if she just stopped caring. ...What if she killed him before Tamotsu showed up? No! ...They might just be able to run away together...
"You stupid bitch...!" Luka growled at herself, taking the next corner into an alleyway and sitting alone in the dark. How could she even think of such things?! She wanted to make Tamotsu happy, she wanted to make Takashi happy, and herself - but how was that possible? Takashi said it himself before he left them; he loved her and he loved his brother. With Luka between the two, she could only see problems lying ahead...
"...Someone put a fucking bullet in me already... I don't want any of this..." Luka sobbed as she pulled her knees into her chest. Never before had she felt so lonely.
