She rested a hand on his cheek, gently stroking his skin with her thumb, and forced a smile. Trying not to cry, she lifted her head from his shoulder and looked him directly in the eye. His fingers twitched slightly his l’Cie instinct was growing stronger, and his resolve was beginning to fade. “Mm?” He closed his eyes and pressed his cheek against her hair, ignoring the garish green glow of his brand. Her voice was soft and slightly muffled against his jacket, but it was loud enough for him to hear. "Thinking about all the time we shared is what’s kept Cinque-chan going all these months."

Using her free hand to quickly wipe away the tears that were attempting to escape the corners of her eyes, she forced another smile. A-And I have a feeling deep down that there’s a part of you somewhere that does remember, but all of the l'cie stuff isn’t letting you.
“You might not remember all of the time we used to spend together, but I do. “I mean that I love you, Machinan,” she repeated, looking away sheepishly. Is that what this warmth was trying to tell him? This girl seemed to be dropping hints that they were…connected somehow in the past. It wasn’t until now that he felt as if there was something he was truly forgetting. He had forgotten a great deal in his time as a l’Cie, but it didn’t really matter much before. “I…” He turned his head a little so that he was half-mumbling into her palm. He couldn’t move…he even found it difficult to breathe. His brow furrowed in confusion, and he had half a mind to squirm away from her grasp but it felt as if his feet were planted directly to the ground. Of course, there was always the option to run, but she couldn’t leave Machina. There was no way she wanted to go through this again if she didn’t have to. Number five took several cautious steps back, her hand at the ready to summon her mace if need be.
His brand was right there, as plain as day, but he hadn’t attacked her yet. This particular flash of his brand looked more like lightning, causing Cinque to lift her arms to cover her eyes and forget what they were talking about. She was trying to get him to remember something…he didn’t have the right to harm her. He wanted to summon his rapiers, but he was trying his best to hold back. He could feel a surge of energy rushing through him, extending towards the very ends of every limb. His brand flashed a brighter shade of green and he groaned, completely letting go of her this time. He could see the tears rolling down her cheeks and he automatically unwound one arm to wipe them away from her face, though it only made the aching in his head worse. “R-remember what?” The pain in his head was quickly returning and he cringed, closing one eye. He blinked and and pulled away a little, though his arms were still around her waist. …I just hope I can see you again soon, Machinan.”Īnd with that, she turned on her heel and started to walk off in the opposite direction, keeping herself from looking back at him. Especially once she considered the fact that all Machina ever wanted to do was protect her. If the l'cie wanted her to leave in order to protect her, then she’d do it. She got back on her feet and brushed the dust away from her skirt before giving a curt nod, trying to mask her sadness. At least this time he was giving her a warning. Despite what she wanted to believe, she knew he was right. Her fall was accompanied by an elicit grunt.
Cinque hated hearing Machina yell–it was even scarier as a l'cie, she thought. Her initial reaction was to move back, resulting in the red head to trip over her own two feet and falling back to land on her rear. The words felt foreign in his mouth, but they were true nonetheless. “I don’t want to hurt you or any of…of our classmates.” I don’t…” He gritted his teeth and lowered his head. I need you to get out of here so I won’t hurt you. “…T-that’s why I need you to leave, Cinque. Everything was going all wrong today and he couldn’t understand why. He paused for a moment, astonished at the emotion pouring from his tone. “I’m a l’Cie! I’ve been chosen by the Byakko crystal to do what it wills - and if it wants me to kill you I will not hesitate to do it!” “Don’t you get it?!” He leaned in again, though in a hostile way.
