Alois smiled, seeming pleased for now. "I love you too, Claude." He knew CLaude had only said it because it was an order, but it was alright to pretend sometimes, right?
He finally released Claude, knowing he would probably prefer if Alois wasn't with him, though this annoyed the boy to no end. He then turned and walked off down the hall with a cheery smile, seeming extremely giddy and not caring who saw him in this odd state.
Alice frowned a little, and stepped aside to allow him in. She disliked thinking about her death, it was... Odd. After all, she was standing here right now. It made her death seem like some horrid dream she had woken up from a long time ago.
"Well..." SHe thought for a moment. How to put it..? She didn't want to drag it out, nor make it boringly short. "You see, I was alone most of my life. I never really had anybody to depend on, since my family were so distant." She frowned. "And then one day everything was just... Gone." It was hard to remember it all but it was slowly coming back to her, cutting into her like a blade. "But it never made much of a difference anyway, I barely even noticed it. But things got harder, being alone. I was only young so I could barely take care of myself. It got to the stage where I either learned to fight or got myself killed. Unfortunately I ended up in a mess with the wrong guys at the wrong time, and got myself cut up pretty bad. Nobody seemed to care, so I bled to death." He sighed. "I even got the scars to prove it." But then, she smiled.
WHat did it matter anyways? It was all so long ago that she no longer saw a reason to let it bother her.
