[Happiness mixed with worry blanketed those early memories that slipped into the blood. Zero didn't know much about her childhood aside from the few times the Facility had allowed him a glimpse of the girl who would grow into the Ishtar he knew today. He always knew she was a child of light that had been thrown into darkness to light the way for those trapped inside. He knew this, yet as the memories moved to the facility the light began to flicker more and more. He felt her worry blot out the sun. The more he drank, the more he realized that the longer she had been prisoner of the facility, the darker the path she was forced to walk.
His fingers tightened around her arms as the blood continued to tell tale of how the girl who had saved him had needed saving herself and yet there was no one there to help her, no one to save her from-- Was that...Sebastian? He recognized the demon, but what was going on? What was all that blood? The guilt. Overwhelming guilt suddenly poured into his conscious and Zero suddenly pulled away.]
--?!
[He gasped as the last drops of blood showed him just how far she was willing to go for him. How much she would sacrifice to save him, but that wasn't why he'd pulled away. The guilt. He could still feel the weight of it on his shoulders as if it were his own. What.... what happened?]
........
[Blood smeared his lips as Zero stared back her, confusion clearly visible within the red irises.]
