"It's raining, Ary." あなた don't open your eyes as he approaches you.
"I know," あなた said. あなた can hear the patter of the rain on the rooftop. It's a soothing rythmless ミューズ to your ears.
"Wouldn't あなた prefer to be inside?" he asks, standing over you.
"If I wanted to go inside, why would I be out here?" あなた snap.
あなた sigh and open your eyes. Alek stares blankly at you, letting the rain drops fall on him and soak his jacket.
"I'm sorry, Alek," あなた apologize, shame forcing あなた to look down at your hands. "I just..." あなた trail off, the words dying on your lips as あなた realized あなた have no explanation. For once, あなた have absolutely no answer.
Alek lowers himself onto the ledge beside you. He rests one hand on his knee, letting the other dangle over the edge. He silence helps あなた collect your thoughts.
"I just get so frustrated sometimes," あなた mutter, still staring at your palms. "This whole team thing is crazy. I 愛 it but..."
He looks over at you, waiting patiently for あなた to find your words.
"Sometimes I just... I just want to scream," あなた admitt finally.
"Then do it," Alek permits.
あなた look over at him, your wet hair falling in your face.
"Really, go on," he prompts. "I don't mind. I won't even listen. See?" He places his hands over his ears. It's very comical.
あなた shake your head. "I think that may scare the neighbors," あなた say, meaning the occupants of the apartment building you're perched on.
あなた listen to the patter of the rain as Alek falls silent once more, thinking over the matter.
"Alright," he says slowly. "Let me 表示する あなた something." He stands and reaches a hand down to help あなた up.
あなた look from your partner's outstretched hand to the ledge, searching for an excuse to stay where あなた are. Why are あなた looking for one? あなた ask yourself. After all, this is Alek. Cool, calm, trusting Alek who would never do anything stupid and drag あなた down with him.
Finally あなた nod and take his hand, careful not to slip on the wet ledge as he leads あなた off it. He releases your hand and leads あなた to the firescape.
あなた follow him down down down the ladder to the sidewalk below. Across the street. Over the avenue. And down the steps to the underground subway.
It is crowded down below, as usual. あなた weave through the throng of people, keeping an eye on Alek's green coat. He leads あなた to a door set in the ウォール at the edge of the crowd.
Alek punches in a sequence and the door clicks open. After a cautious glance over his shoulder, he grasps your hand and quickly pulls あなた through. Before the door is fully closed, you're jogging down the empty, dimly lit corridor after your partner.
The hall suddenly ends. Literally. It's like someone cleaved off the rest of the corridor. あなた follow Alek to the edge and realize it opens up to the tunnel.
"It's safe, I promise," he reassures you. Then he turns and climbs down a short ladder leading to a small platform. Beyond the platform are the tracks.
"The engineers use these gaps for repairs," Alek explains as あなた drop from the gap to the platform.
"I still don't understand why we're here," あなた remind him as あなた dust off your jeans.
"Wait for it," he says simply, watching the tracks.
After a moment あなた feel the floor begin to vibrate beneath あなた feet. The silence is gone and is replaced によって a growing roar.
"Alek," あなた say nervously.
"It's the 次 train," he says. "Count to ten, then let it all go!"
あなた finally understand. The roar of the train will surely cover any scream. It is an ingenious idea.
Not seeing any reason not to, あなた shut your eyes.
1... 2... 3... あなた think of every time you've been outsmarted. 4... 5... 6... Of every time あなた have gotten annoyed, angered, frustrated.The floor of the platform is shuddering so hard it's becoming difficult to stand in place. The roar in your ears is defining.
7...8...9... あなた think of every time you've wanted to slam a door. パンチ a wall. Cry and yell and scream at the 上, ページのトップへ of you're lungs, but didn't because it would be immature and childish. 10.
あなた squeeze your eyes shut and scream as loud as あなた possibly can.
It's like popping the lid of a fizzing bottle, only to have it explode. And that's what あなた do. Explode.
あなた scream and scream, adding to the thunder as the train rushes past. The sounds mix to a single voice.
あなた scream and yell and scream scream scream.
Finally, あなた feel the air escape your lungs. あなた yell a final burst, then slowly open your eyes, panting. The end of the train comes and goes.
あなた feel light as air. It's a new feeling. A great feeling. あなた grin widely. Just because あなた can.
あなた look over at your partner. His face is red as a beet and he's breathing as hard as あなた are. Alek had taken his own advice. He faces あなた and grins as widely as あなた are, his eyes glittering emeralds.
"Better?" he asks.
あなた nod truthfully. "Much."
"I know," あなた said. あなた can hear the patter of the rain on the rooftop. It's a soothing rythmless ミューズ to your ears.
"Wouldn't あなた prefer to be inside?" he asks, standing over you.
"If I wanted to go inside, why would I be out here?" あなた snap.
