She found herself in a familiar place.It was ridiculous to acknowledge that her legs were the one that led her to the said place. She looked at the red vending machine, currently reflecting the sunshine whilst the peripheral aroma of bushes and trees could be smelled. Her blank look was replied by the lifeless stare of the said vending machine, but somehow, the hazel haired girl could know from the way the scenery became oh so different (in her point of view) and the way the vending machine gave her a cold look that the said thing demanded the figure of spiky haired guy to be there, finally bickering with her while the vending machine smirked at the usual pattern.She was there… not because she wanted to, but rather, because it was an ordinary pattern for her to be there, setting an ambush to meet Kamijou Touma. But now, the said guy… was not there, and no matter how stoic an individual called Misaka Mikoto could be, she really wanted to cry for his appearance there.Her flawless hands found themselves in her pocket, taking a Gekota charm that became the only memento of her love secret; a fragile little thing that they both bought on one blissful day, just until it became the only thing that reflected the whereabouts and soul of Kamijou Touma when she found it lying on the beach alone. She watched it on her hand, looking at it as though it was some kind of long forgotten friend, with an expression as if she would hug the said charm between her sobs. She let all of her memories overwhelmed her body, and with memory that was flown to her brain, she felt as though she had no any power to do anything. She felt as if she was just a weak girl who needed much protection, and ironically, her only protection was… gone.And the Gekota Charm took a glimpse of crystal tear from the said girl, as it tried to comfort her with a lifeless, yet deep look in futile.She remembered the time when she was alone at the bridge, looking at the blue draft of the lake whilst she regretted everything that she had done from the previous time. She was just stepping on the verge of lifeline just until he stopped her; dragging her from the road to the hell and let her to take a glance of heaven, in exchange his own mind, soul, and body on the line of death. He finally survived, even though he almost lost his soul ten times and his breath nearly stopped. He still joked around with her, bringing that heart stopping smile of his as though the previous incident was nothing for him.Her memory brought her also to the time when she was hiding behind the protection of red steel pole, clutching the plastic bag tightly as her ears never stopped listening to the words from the spiky haired guy. What he said indeed was an irresponsible things; something that couldn't be done without help, and she knew that he was a kind of guy who would talk like that to anyone. Nevertheless, she could feel some kind of frankness and honesty concealed perfectly behind the irresponsible, cool looking line. What she remembered was that she couldn't resist the urge to blush, and somehow she was fine with it.Her face darkened slightly when she wandered to the time when the said spiky haired guy was covered with bandages and injuries, running around the dirty road as though he was in the mission to save the whole town again (and it was indeed true). She didn't need to be a professor to know that he was running from the nearby hospital without permission. The hazel haired girl just stopped him (momentarily), confronting him about her acknowledgement of his memory loss, just to be replied by his shocked expression. She couldn't see him like that, carrying an unimaginable weight and still tried to stumble onto the battlefield when his health was greatly impaired all on his own. He just shoved her off, leaving her with his usual smile, as though everything would be okay.Her face darkened even more when she remembered the time when she was in the helicopter, the safest place around the area and the spiky haired guy was… there, standing on the most dangerous place with a face as though it was his own home and native country. She shouted at him to come with her, using all of her abilities to take him to the safer place in futile, just until he was forced to leave, and she never met him again afterwards.She trailed off; muscles began weakening all of the sudden as each memory appeared to torture her without equal. She knelt on the ground, hugging the said Gekota Charm in depression whilst more tears began drenching the soil below, as though the tears tried to purify every fragment of soil with the sacrifice of her own happiness. Her tears channeled every kind of sorrow emotion that was granted to her for the two days of the disappearance of the said spiky haired guy and she couldn't resist her cry anymore.Someone who would keep her warm every time, someone who would keep her safe from the storm had gone. Without him, nothing looked the same in the light; nothing ever seemed to quite turn out right. She realized that she was in love, but now, she was alone. She had lost the love she found, crying without a sound.Where had he gone?And she was crying even hard; not the usual crying that could be seen from someone who lost in a game, but rather, a cry that could be heard from someone whose life had been shattered, who didn't really want to see tomorrow. She was no longer kneeling, but burying her head to the ground beneath as though the soil demanded her kiss for it. She sobbed hard, heart broken, and also, stupefied by the sorrowful reality.
