Reimi's calm response to his suggestion allowed for Shin to calm down a great deal, [color=lightblue][i]That's right, nothing to get embarrassed or flustered about. We're just two friends having a private conversation, that's all, nothing more than that.[/i][/color] he thought to himself, picking up his end of the cord. He felt around for the slot and inserted the connector once he located it, opening his window and dragging the document he had typed up to the linked icon, placing it there and sending it to her. [color=lightblue][i]"Before we discuss anything, you should read what I just sent you, it has the relevant information on something I've never told anyone before. You will be the first one I've ever told, so please keep what you read between us..."[/i][/color] he paused here, his eyes looking away and down into his drink, [color=lightblue][i]"...nobody else needs to know."[/i][/color] he added, his voice now sad. He remained silent, the only movement that came from him was when he went to sip his drink; even then, he kept his eyes focused outside on the rain. It mirrored how he felt inside. He figured Reimi was just about done reading the document when he finished taking another sip, his eyes finally meeting hers again, though the usual joy that was once in them had been replaced by the sadness his voice held minutes ago.

[color=lightblue][i]"I think that's probably why you and I get along so well, Reimi, we both know what it's like to be hurt."[/i][/color] he told her. He sighed out loud, propping the side of his face up with his hand, [color=lightblue][i]"The game I mentioned, I actually stopped playing after all was said and done, I really didn't want to run the risk of seeing her again. It's also why I don't connect to the net outside of home or school anymore, it's too risky for me as I still have the program installed, so anyone could challenge me at any moment."[/i][/color] he paused for a moment. He pointed at her, [color=lightblue][i]"And before you ask me, the answer is no, I have no interest in ever going back to that place. Even though it's been six months, the memories still linger there, especially the one involving the last time she and I saw each other. I never imagined in my life I would have to fight her, yet she had no qualms about it. I don't want to go through that again."[/i][/color] he told her, lowering his finger. Despite what he said, there was a message between the words. He wanted to go back, he was just afraid he would have to face her, to relive the pain all over again. That scared him. More than anything in the world, did that one single thought alone, scare the living daylights out of him. Even as he tried not to let it show, his left hand shook ever so slightly, and the look in his eyes were that of fear. The accelerated world was his nightmare, and soon, his school life would become one as well.
