Otto shrugged. "Then don't." He took one last sip of his soda. "But if you don't? What will your friends think of you? Some terrible little girl who won't come see them and say sorry for what she did?"

Yeah, he was playing the mean card hard. He didn't have the patience to be gentle with Shu.

"I am terrible....maybe I do if I have done something so unforgivable...." Shu murmured and smiled with bitterness. "I know I need to make the apology. I KNOW IT." Otto's word shot her heart like sharp arrows, she knew he was right deep down, but she was too afraid to bear the possibility that she might lose this friend.

"I will do it...when I am more prepared.....Now...." She looked away. "I am not little....I am already a grown up...not that I am seven or eight even though I am short and a washing board. Stop calling me little girl!" She won't be that rude if she wasn't tipsy, she was losing control of her manner and yelling.

She languished just a while later, "I am scary Otto." The liqueur in her glass was nearly half gone.

The booze was working. If all went to plan, Shu would be passing out any minute now. Then he could tuck her into bed (the couch), and go do something he actually wanted to do (read).

"You're probably the least threatening hunter on the island, short stack." Otto grumbled, picking dirt from his nails.

Babysitting young-girl-sitting was not an awful job if the subject was a sober Shu. Statistics showed Asians got drunken fast, so the flushed face of the petite girl should be quite drunken already. However, it was not expected that she would slip out or aware herself more clingy and lax. What the hunter could see would be a girl acting like a puppy soon falling asleep but insists to play.

Maybe to Otto, the puppy was annoying and weak barking a lot only. That could totally be told by what he was doing. Totally the wrong candidate to have a heart-to-heart talk, Shu.

"Is that a compliment? - Probably not." The tipsy Asian shrugged, pulling the loose knit sweater back onto position and covered the strap on her shoulder. It was obvious that she just randomly picked something to put on above the camisole. "Short stack? I guess you are saying me. I tell you I will still grow, just you watch." She sniffed in response to the sting sensed from her nose, resulted from the pungency of the alcohol.

Shu made a childish grin to whoever in front of her.

Maybe he should feel bad. He always hated when people called him short. He didn't really care much nowadays though.

Otto gave a long sigh. Shu was likely a lightweight, and she looked ready to pass out. "I think you better go to sleep now. You can have my bed. I'll be on the couch. It's a big bed. Lot's of blankets and pillows. The night lights are runic, so you don't gotta be scared of the dark."

He stood up, offering to lead her to the room. "C'mon. Don't be stubborn."

Under the effect of the alcohol, Shu was half-conscious of what she was doing, she only knew she felt tired and exhausted. There was a while the girl had her eyes closed, body gently swaying like a small boat on a gentle water. She opened her eyes again when she heard the sigh - long and mingled with something else she couldn't catch.

The heated up girl blinked, tried to focus on what he was saying. She surely there were voices, but muffled, with a tiny insistent buzz. Still, she could catch what he mean. Hmph....blanket plus pillow fort sounds so cozy.....

She was in a state of almost falling asleep, but something she needed to deliver yet: The apology? Some sort of feels? Or things that she conceal in the hidden drawer of her heart? People say inside the heart, sometimes it's like a library, a maze or a corridor with many doors, the view is always changing. In Shu's heart, it resembled, at that moment, that of a compartmental cabinet of the Chinese herbalist. Some of the unlabeled drawers were unlocked while some are sealed with lock each. It hurt, her head hurt, her inside hurt, everything hurt so much. The drawers overturned and the things inside rushed to her as a big mess at once.

Didn't reply or nod, instead, Shu finished the glass at once and teetered towards the hunter and stopped right at a few steps from him. "Tell me why......" She asked softly, then didn't continued for a few seconds, head remained down. "Why you never love me?" Her head lifted and eyes gradually met with Otto's like slow motion. "I'm too stubborn to ask you to do that, 爸爸 (papa)?"

It was very clear that the girl was losing her consciousness, from the interweaving of two different languages. "Do you regret? 後悔嗎? To sacrifice yours for mine....?" Her face creased together as she made a step closer, sadness escaped from her body, millions of words choked at her throat.

Who she saw was definitely no longer the blonde Sun hunter with blue eyes named Otto Graves, it was an useless endeavor to stop the tears from accumulating in her eyes at the same time she bit the lips. On the two sides, her hands were grasping into fist, nails dug into the soft palm flesh. With a face of agony, she opened her mouth again -

"I miss you, when will you wake up?" The next second he was held desperately. With her face buried into the boy, she mumbled, "I've a lot to tell you.....I want you to caress my hair....告訴我 -telling me that it will be alright....please..wake up...." Below his back, Otto would feel a sudden tight grasp of his clothes before the force limply dropped.


The last bit of energy within her was consumed. A tear slid down her face.

Finally.

Finally, she could cry because she was dreaming, nobody would blame her even herself.

Shu felt much better, as if the choking was removed and she could breathe again -

- When she woke up, she will go to knock her best friend's door......

FOr a moment, Otto believed she was asking him real questions directed at him. For that he was confused. They made no sense. After she kept going, it became clear she was talking to someone else. Someone not there. Otto caught the girl as she stumbled into him, tentatively holding her shoulders as she buried her face in his chest. One thing was clear; she was venting and letting go. Letting her inhibitions go was helping her let go too.

Maybe the bandaid did more than cover up after all.

Once Shu stopped mumbling and weeping, Otto carefully lifted her up. It was familiar, like the time he'd carried her to her room that night in the basement. Tucking the girl into his oversized bed, he left her to sleep for as long as she needed.

He'd helped her because she'd gone to him for help. He'd felt obligated, though he wasn't sure why. Maybe it had felt like babysitting, but he felt like he'd helped her. He hoped so.

Otto spent the remainder of the night watching Disaster movies on his TV in the living room before sleeping on the couch.
