“Don’t go." Satoru said with a desperate look in his eyes.
It was dark and both of the young sorcerers were shivering from the cold. The rain didn’t help either.
“I can’t stay here Sato-” “Why not?” Satoru interrupted him.
“I just can’t.” Suguru said softly without locking eyes with Satoru. “The ideals of the higher ups are too different from mine. I won’t agree to stay here for something like that. I’ve lost my faith in humanity.”
Satoru gave him a disappointed look and thought hard on what to say next.
“What about us?” Satoru said with a trembling voice.
When Suguru heard this his eyes finally locked with the other sorcerer. Their eyes exchanged a thousand words left unsaid.
“There was never an ‘us’ it was just you.” Suguru said with a monotonous voice looking at Satoru dead in the eyes.
“You don’t mean that.” Satoru said. “You can’t possibly be thinking of throwing your life away just for some small clash of opinions!” Satoru yelled.
“You’ll never get it. You’ve always been the strongest and you always will be.” Suguru voiced confidently. “I’m not throwing my life away and this is definitely not just a small difference in opinions. I can’t stand on the same side as these people.”
“But I’m one of those people! Did our friendship mean nothing to you?!”
“And if I say it meant nothing to me? That it was just a convenient arrangement?” Suguru said coldly.
“But we were supposed to be the strongest.” Satoru said with anger and despair in his voice.
“No, it was just you.” Suguru said, turning around to walk away.
“Don’t you dare run away from this!” Satory yelled.
“You’re being awfully arrogant. Curse me if you want to stop me.” Suguru said without remorse towards Satoru.
Satorus hand came up to curse him one last time but he watched Suguru get further and further. He didn’t have the guts to curse his other half, his Suguru.
Satoru stood there looking at Sugurus back as people rushed past him. He lowered his hand when he couldn’t see him anymore and kept staring at the spot where he was just minutes ago.
