"Are you ok? I'm not that experienced in dates, but if you're crying it can only mean this isn't going the way you wanted"
"No, that's not it. Today's been fun and I really like spending time with you, it's just that, I miss Helena so bad"
Anne said amidst sobs.
"Why don't you tell me about it? It might help you feel a little bit better"
Ryu said with a complicated expression on his face and Anne reacted by drying her tears with the napkin. She didn't have a handkerchief and Ryu was too inexperienced and ignorant to even know it was expected of him to offer her one. All Ryu could do was be there for his friend and listen to what she had to say.
"Truth is, Helena and I didn't part on the best terms. When we were back at Ironwoods everyone loved me and people knew and respected me, I was considered the strongest person along with Bob, but since I saved people using your medicine they even thought I had supernatural powers."
