Alex was literally stunned. The world passed before his eyes in a blur, aware of the passing time but almost as if he was on the other side of a glass wall... somehow detached from it. Bel saying that she couldn’t log in and how that thing that was in her taunted as it… left. Could I have done more? Should I have made Thomas word his demand better? Devils always try to monkey’s paw their way into making what you want gross and bad… should he have seen it coming? What about now? What should he do? These thoughts plagued Alex, dragging him further and further away from reality.

He was still trapped in his own little world of doubt and pity when Bel’s assistant came and started taking Bel away. Shocked from his stupor, Alex was more ashamed than anything else. He left Bel wet and in the hall while he did nothing. Not even offering a jacket or something clichéd like that! Scrambling to his feet, Alex started to take off after Bel and Yuuno, but not before his luck made him trip over the still half full bucket. Now splayed on the floor in a puddle of water, Alex pushed himself up and ran after the rapidly receding pair of girls.

[color=00a651]“W-wait! I know I-I’m not the most proactive person ever, I know… but I don’t want to be fucking useless forever!”[/color] ignoring his soaked pants and the wet footprints that he left in his wake, Alex caught up with the pair and took off his jacket and handed it to Bel, the wet footprints slowly drying the further he walked.

[color=00a651]“I… you don’t have to like me miss. And honestly, you may think of me as a villain if you want… especially given the scene you just saw before. But I’m going to help Bel. I’m not exactly sure how at the moment, but she’s worth helping.”[/color] With a squaring of his jaw, Alex looked to Yuuno and then at Bel before quietly putting an arm out and helping to stabilise Bel’s shaking steps.
