I have visited Integra-sama many times since the man I still acknowledge as my master taught me how to got to her, how to move to where I want despite physical barriers as he does, and knowing how grave her situation is, I’ve always tried to make my visits light and enjoyable for her. I have always tried to bring her some joy in this prison, but today is different.
I know that tomorrow the woman I have grown to love will face a jury of her ‘peers’ who will hear a list of fictitious charges against her, made to protect those with power at her expense. Tomorrow the trial that seals her fate will begin and no amount of playful kissing and animated storytelling with break her out of her mood.
But I go to her just the same, she needs me so I go to her I sit beside her though she doesn’t acknowledge me. I say until she tells me curtly that I can go. I don’t even try to touch her, I can as good as seem the shell she’s built around herself and she’ll need it. I simply give her what comfort I can with my presence.
After all, we’re in this together now, the two of us against the world. There’s no way I’d leave her side so the fate they seal as well as hers is mine.
