Kei sat in silence, not knowing how to reply. He sat and thought about it for a while, but gave up because he didn't know how to set the girl at ease.

He sat up quickly when Steven yelped and rushed over to check on her.

"Hey, careful there! You don't want to re-open the wound!"

"Sorry."Steven said calmly.She was in so much pain but she tried to hide and hold back her tears from the pain.She had never been in so much pain before in her life...at least not since she was about 4 when someone tried pulling her demon wings out from her back.

To steven this pain was much worse than from that time.
