Arna's giddiness has died while Gears shared his story, she was emotionally moved. She then leans her head on his shoulder and pats his head.
"It's not your fault Gears. She'll be happy to know you're okay. I bet she'd even want you to be happy." She then takes her head off of Gear's shoulder and hugs him to ease his pain.
After the hug, she began to remember what she was going to tell Gears.
"Well.. While my story wasn't as tragic, I've got a lot to say. As you can tell I was born and raised in Jawaii. I had two parents and I was an only child. I was alone all my life really, both of my parents were too busy with work." She pauses briefly, trying to remember her life events.
"They never came to my soccer games, or my track runs. Really I was doing everything for myself at age ten. I had little friends, really the only two that were notable were Maya and Daniel. We were friends since grade school. They were the only two that accepted my tomboyish attitude and appreciated my style."
"You know.. They actually survived the apocalypse here.. But they became twisted.. Maya lead a tyranical army that would kill everything, Daniel became cynical and lost care for everyone but himself. They eventually hated me, wanted me out of their new worlds." She then scratches her head,
Arna pauses for a long time now, she is biting her lip now as she fiddles with her hands to try and fight off any emotion.
"I.. I had to kill them." She looks down in shame.
"I remember Daniel begged for mercy.. But I couldn't let him live.. He would have killed me.."
"Then Maya.. She was completely different, a monster of her previous self.. All her humor and heart, gone.. I had to finish her too.." Arna covers her eyes with her bangs, she keeps a tight expression, unwilling to cry.
"And now here I am.. Alone and lost in this world, wondering what to do next.. I'm almost twenty-six and I have no idea on what I want in life.. Hell, I'm not even sure I know myself any more."
