LOST GARDEN Link Story -Siams- | Chapter 11
(←back to masterlist)
Luca: ...Sorry you had to see that.
Siams: It’s fine...
More importantly... what’re you gonna do now?
Luca: Hmm...
For starters, maybe I’ll go get a parfait?
Siams: A parfait???
Luca: That’s what came to mind when you asked me if I had somewhere I wanted to go.
Siams: Huh...
Luca: That doesn’t mean I’m giving up on Sirius. If there’s a chance I’ll see him again, I won’t back down...
But I know that’s not what I should be focusing on right now...
...I always tried, but the truth is I didn’t always understand exactly what Kai was thinking or what he wanted to say.
That’s how we ended up in this mess...
But... this time, I feel like I totally get what he’s saying.
Even though there were things I didn’t understand, one thing is for certain... For us, there was nobody else in the world as special as the other.
Siams: ......
Luca: Man, I gotta do somethin’ about this arm.
It’s hard to eat like this, so I guess it’s gotta be my priority. Haha, I’ve got a lot to do.
Siams: Don’t come back here.
I mean, you’re originally from the surface, so I don’t think it’ll be a problem for you, but—
Luca: Why don’t you come with me?
Siams: ...Huh?
Luca: You wanna leave Eclipse, don’t you?
Siams: ...!
Luca: That’s just what it seems like to me, but...
At the very least, it looks like you have some resentment towards Eclipse... or rather, towards Sirius. Come on, while you’re giving me a chance—
Siams: ......
Luca: If you want to escape, let’s go together.
You have them too, right? Places you want to go, people you want to see...
Siams: Cut the bullshit.
...I don’t have any desire to go to the surface.
Besides, me going to the surface and you going to the surface are two totally different things.
I can’t go to live up there. I learned that the hard way when I was a kid.
...It’s too late for me, anyway.
Luca: That can’t be...
Not wanting to go and not being able to go are two completely different conversations—
Siams: Shut it.
Luca: ......
Siams: I’m not trying to take advantage of the situation, but... can I ask you for a favor?
Luca: Huh...?
Siams: Bizele...
I want you to take him with you.
I might not be able to, but he can live up there on the surface. Besides, I hear cats like places the sunlight can reach.
Luca: ......
Siams: Will you do it?
Luca: ...Yeah.
Come with me, Bizele.
I’ll let you sunbathe all you want~
Siams: Sounds good. Thanks.
I know it’s sudden, but you know exactly where you belong. Be patient and wait for me, okay?
...See you around, Bizele.
Bizele: Mro~w
Luca: ...Siams.
Thanks—

Sirius: —Welcome back, Siams.
Siams: ...Yo.
Sirius: How did it go?
Siams: ......Sorry. I found him, but he got away.
Shin: ...Huh??
What the hell do you mean he got away...? You’re just gonna let it end there?
Siams: What was I supposed to do? ...He was able to escape.
Shin: You worthless little...
Sirius: You’re injured... Looks like you got into it.
You poor thing. Come here - I’ll fix you right up—
Siams: I’ll be your guinea pig.
Sirius: Oh my...
Siams: It’s my fault he got away... Besides, I’m used to helping you with your experiments.
Shin: Hey, don’t turn circumstances in your favor. Don’t think you’re going to get away with this, you worthless defect.
Sirius: Be quiet, Shin.
Siams was speaking to me. I’m the one who gets to answer.
Shin: Tch...
Sirius: I’m happy to hear you say that, Siams.
Hmm... Fine. Let’s head to the lab.
Siams: ...Yeah.
Sirius: Hehe, thanks. It’s reassuring to have your assistance.
This should make for an interesting trip—
