- Eight years vanished in a flash.
- <
- I’d sacrificed all my points to get Elijah’s legs
- healed.
- But the system said it couldn’t be done.
- Now I knew it was because he’d faked his
- disability.
- He hadn’t always been cruel. In the fourth
- year, he started talking to me.
- He took me to see the snow, we ate together.
- His affection hadn’t increased, but I was
- happy; he was engaging with me.
- I asked to be moved to a different room.
- I didn’t want to be near Elijah anymore.
- Elijah wanted to say something but didn’t.
- I left.
- Alone in my room, peace settled over me.
- I opened my photo album, filled with pictures
- of Elijah and me.
- They were all secretly taken.
- He never liked me; he’d never agree to
- photos.
- There was one from our first trip in the snow.
- He sat in his wheelchair, holding his rosary,
- lost in thought.
- Only my profile was visible.
- He looked away, and I looked at him.
- Many more pictures.
- Him reading, our first meal together.
- I remembered everything, and I cried.
- But soon, the tears stopped.
- The system said, “Host, your emotions are
- fading.”
- Good.
- Excellent.
- My phone rang; it was Elijah.
- For the first time in eight years.
- I answered, curious what he’d say.
- “Were you jealous?”
- It was a bizarre question.
- He thought my moving was simply jealousy?
- “No.”
- “Don’t misunderstand; I saved her because
- she reminded me of someone.”
- The system kept updating his affection level;
- it was now thirty percent.
- He was falling for me.
- It was ridiculous. I’d lavished him with
- attention, and he hadn’t loved me.
- Now that I was leaving, he did.
- I hung up. I didn’t want to listen.
