ARCHIVED HEARTS - The Letter

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhnkbXikml

I quietly walked back toward my room.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYId6noJio0

"Rei?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dpoYyM2nW

No answer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5UaHj9MDO

I checked the living room.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxn09pFfu8

Nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLM2f914W3O

The kitchen.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNalNm2H0jI

Nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMEM5EExq5

The balcony.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjRvjo9DW5

Still nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2JnBSl4nF

"...Where did he go?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡli8QkqdW7e

Just as I was about to leave, I noticed someone standing by the large window.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wkehI7v6q

The moonlight reflected on the glass.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5igunMXezD

"Rei?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aiop9Dn6p

He slowly turned around.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOlu6IaC35

"Yes, My Lady."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt6reP672f

I walked over to him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSq65HI6LFg

"What are you doing here all alone?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrc2nqhV8i

He looked back at the night sky.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeM5PctQkt

"I was looking at the stars."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3n2stJBJ

"And..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDzm62awcs

"I was trying to understand."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vXlFQKlWi

"Understand what?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3AooKLfrS

He was silent for a moment.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvk49qbMYf

Then answered honestly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeYlZwYjuT

"I want to understand what you feel."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB8NgbLupg

I blinked.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRcTKvTFHK

"...Me?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkig5Mp31ep

He nodded.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGQfzB1hB4

"When you looked at the ocean..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnD6Ob6bRb

"You smiled."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjvCXyzqKx

"When I hugged you..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3KeI1SPUy

"Your heartbeat increased."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwL8yigFxEL

"Your face became red."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk91z6wP8HH

"I have searched thousands of explanations."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqSZpjdd0z

"But..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMrxCa2VIc

"I still cannot understand those feelings."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kNa5Fc05g

He lowered his eyes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGC90UtkVmk

"I want to feel them too."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQiMq9H3b0

The room became silent.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlubbTi6pp

For some reason...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7YS431FdV

My chest felt strangely warm.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbCPON1kxw

I slowly clenched my fist.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4cNbHD8Zd

Then...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Vdxoszgfm

Without thinking...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8mbcuj484

I reached out and gently held his hand.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlZJsMeBV1

His fingers were slightly cold.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnBmK9Iyho

But somehow...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYPPvTtbS2

They felt comforting.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvBTDye3YU

"Rei..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8TMyVEjIa

"You don't have to."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweSR3jpwwe

He looked at me.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLzQkJmxoR

"I like you..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0eqRutElBF

"As you are."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklWCZttk2C

"You don't need to change yourself."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrnRBjvqjF

"You don't have to become human just because humans feel things."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN45687Cnn1

I smiled softly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzJ0hcHeO9

"You're already..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zLqGdG4EK

"...Rei."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUm6pU5wg4

He quietly looked at our hands.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fEOSpq8Q

"My Lady..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuawczAI2Im

"I do not fully understand your words."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRxX4GazDv

"But..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwf8EAprlL

"They make me feel... calm."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqMz7dZGgy

I smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ruG657P1n

"Then that's enough."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8smvZjIzg

Just then—

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZWXH6YYNn

Knock. Knock.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrTGulgBIt

The door opened slightly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxa9Fi5wRA9

Mr. Z stood outside with a small envelope in his hand.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaipxJuuiOe

"Sorry to interrupt."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzWSJnlocC

He smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjPy0nATOG

"But I have something for you."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUowxLmaGT

I took the envelope.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiNSdU7EnO

"...What's this?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmcTjLzfyIr

"Open it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQMJiSDdop

I carefully unfolded the letter.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxgqHWxpKt

My eyes scanned the first line.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntNiCzpqs

Project X Annual Gala Invitation

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnfuxMJY1W

...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuGUiiWHWg

My eyes sparkled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlb6qXyv2Kp

"WAIT!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ojTJO7kbx

"There's a party?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI1on7yyrt

I almost screamed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UczSEu3hQ

"A PARTY?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACRKL0U1SZ

Mr. Z laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaGPujrDht

"I knew you'd react like that."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUgaEgKR8h

"I've never been to a secret hacker party before!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhJNmiCKfs

"Do hackers dance?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMhaAljXxb

"Do they wear hoodies?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1STFbTMZ0e

"Is there food?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCQVAPput9

Mr. Z chuckled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXE2L5FGhuO

"Come tomorrow night and find out."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiIeNfiZC5

I turned toward Rei with the biggest grin on my face.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkmASH1v3h

"Did you hear that?!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgrALBtokZ

"We're going to a party!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjJ9l07vjI

For the first time that night...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CPTwBHN2w

Rei smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcgw90SOmZq

A small...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarIaIsrvIm

Gentle smile.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrfkqXdzdW

"Yes, My Lady."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gurHxkJlq

"I heard."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3VEQ0MSPa

And somehow...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo11oM44SRK

Seeing him smile...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJwU5bXZBj

Made me even more excited than the party itself.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwHUqpVwoh
