What is a tragedy?
Not getting what you want is a tragedy.
Getting it and then losing it is also a tragedy.
Before coming to this world, Mono might not have cared about Six's life or death. But now...
As long as Six didn't truly betray him like before, he wouldn't just watch her be toyed with.
Of course, this was merely a plan made as an alliance between "comrades-in-arms."
As for other thoughts...
Six was still sobbing, buried in his arms.
At this moment, her behavior was indeed like that of a Little Girl.
Mono silently endured it for a while.
He knew what fear felt like; since coming here, he had already tasted it many times.
The most recent instance had just occurred.
And as for Six, who had experienced even more than he had, he naturally understood her even better.
Therefore, he didn't mind her crying.
Although he did feel a bit of pity.
After an unknown amount of time, Six finally slowly regained her composure.
Mono patted her shoulder: "Six, can you tell me what exactly happened now?"
He was still puzzled.
Hearing this, Six finally raised her head.
Beneath the hood of her raincoat, two crystal-clear tear stains still hung on her small face.
Fortunately, those lifeless, pitch-black eyes that looked like a void were gone.
She spoke softly: "I, I thought... Mono was dead..."
"What?" Mono was stunned when he heard this.
He was dead?
Just because of that?
"Wait," Mono organized his thoughts, "Could it be that this was the reason you just tore apart all these dolls around here?"
He was astonished, suspicious, and uncertain.
Under his astonished gaze, Six remained quiet for a moment before slowly nodding her head.
Seeing this, Mono fell silent again.
It turned out he had overthought it; the reason Six "went wild" wasn't because she encountered Mono, but because she thought he was dead?
At this moment, Mono didn't know what to feel. Six would actually fall into such a state just because she thought he was dead.
Could it be that his position in her heart was already so important that he was indispensable?
This was really...
"idiot, why would you think I was dead? Didn't I tell you? I'm very strong."
Mono said to the little person in front of him.
He felt an unprovoked sense of unease.
After all that, it turned out he was the one who made Six cry again?
He felt like he had become a villain.
Hearing this, Six was silent for a while, shook her head silently, and then said in a flat voice, as if stating a fact:
"Mono is the idiot, always running forward alone, clearly unable to beat others, yet always acting tough."
This time, she actually stopped indulging Mono.
Mono was stunned for a moment.
However, once he snapped out of it, he became displeased.
"Wait, what do you mean always acting tough? I said, I only do things when I'm certain. Do you think I'm some brainless brute?"
He always prided himself on being smart; how could he possibly take the initiative to do something he wasn't sure of?
This time, if it hadn't been for the problem with the flashlight, how could he have almost fallen here?
Mono didn't think it was his fault.
It was just that his luck was a bit bad.
You can't blame him for that at all.
"But Mono was blocked here this time, and almost..." Speaking of this, Six stopped again, a flicker of panic passing through her eyes.
Mono noticed her suddenly uneasy expression.
Seeing this, he silently held her very cold hand.
"Alright, alright, I told you long ago not to worry blindly, why don't you understand."
"Actually, even if you hadn't come, I could have dealt with these dolls just the same."
"Do you really think I'd be trapped by them? You think too poorly of me."
