Ch. 5: End of a Dream (MOON)
We ran along the roof and quietly slipped back into a deserted hallway.
Guido: "If you go this way, you’ll exit out onto the main street. You must get away, kitten."
OO: "But Guido…"
Guido: "It’s alright. Their business is with me."
He caressed my cheek and winked.
Guido: "Go now."
OO: "But if I leave…"
Guido: "…"
OO: "Will we meet again? Will you come to see me again?"
Guido: "…If you’re with me, I’ll keep putting you in danger. This is good bye, my little kitten."
OO: "…!"
At that time, many footsteps echoed down the hallway, drawing closer to where we were.
Guido: "Some day…let’s meet again in the dream of the starry sky."
Turning his back to me, Guido stepped out into the middle of the hall.
OO: "Guido…!"
Without moving from behind a pillar, I held onto the mimosa flower garland.
