Bab 200: Chapter 199: Confession.

'I...' 

'I've always avoided it... The tight warm feeling in my chest which would surface whenever I was around them...' 

'The missed beat whenever I'd see their smile... All other sorts of emotions which would make life just a little less miserable.' 

'It was clear from these emotions that they just meant that much to me...' 

*Crack* 

'That's why... When they're hurt...'' 

'I just can't help it.' 

There Gray stood, holding onto the body of the monster they had just killed. It's body was in pieces but progressively regenerating. 

Gray's hand which was around it's neck was squeezing it tightly, cracking it further and further as he pressed down. 

"It... Hadn't died...?!" Aurora questioned as she watched. 

*FWOOSH!* 

A shockwave created by wind, burst in her direction forcing her to take a few steps back. The air around her was growing increasingly warmer.
