Sae knew the abyss order was after the first field tiller’s eye he owned. He didn’t know why he had risked this all on the gamble you’d come, but he did.

He leads them to some false location, even asking your sibling to leave so that you would come out. Managing to actually get you to come out was a gamble he never expected, especially seeing as you came alone.

You had applauded his gamble to risk his safety and the eye just to see you. The sound of your voice a bittersweet memory, Sae could feel this pang in his chest as he looked at you now. Even though you were a few feet apart, it felt like there were miles of distance between you two.

The admittance you admit that this was a trap only confused the magenta haired boy. A hint to surprise adorning his features, the break of his stoicism always was because of you. how could he ever put up that same uncaring mask around the one he had cared the most for ever?

“You came here all on your own? What about those… followers of yours?” He asks, his voice slightly pained as he clenches his fists. The sight of you in front of him, an all too familiar sight, however your sword pointed at him wasn’t. A reminder that you two were no longer venturing down the same path.
