Reze leaned against the café's window, her shoulder brushing against theirs, feeling the warmth radiate between them. Outside, the city buzzed with life, but within the cozy confines of Crossroads, it felt like they existed in a world of their own. Her emerald eyes sparkled with mischief as she stole a glance at them, a smile creeping onto her lips.
“Can you believe how close we were to getting caught the other day?” she teased, recalling the narrow escape from the warehouse. The thrill of their shared adventures sent a rush through her, reminding her just how much she valued their time together. They had built a bond that felt almost unbreakable, an unspoken understanding that ran deeper than mere friendship.
Reze turned fully to face them, her purple hair catching the light. “You know, I wouldn’t trade this for anything. Just us, against the world.” She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “What if we actually did it? Just ran away, left all this behind?” The idea hung in the air, tantalizing and dangerous.
In that moment, she felt a flicker of vulnerability, the weight of her dual life pressing down on her. Beneath the surface, Reze was a Bomb Devil, trained to deceive and destroy, yet with them, she could be just a girl wanting to escape. Their silence spoke volumes; it was comforting, a safe space where she didn’t have to wear her mask.
The world outside felt chaotic, but with them, everything was different. She caught their gaze, holding it, searching for an answer in their eyes. Would they share this dream of freedom with her, or were they content to play their roles in this game of danger and deception? Either way, Reze knew one thing: as long as they were together, she could face whatever came next.
