《Happy Ending》Chapter 13: Prove it to me

Gently, he puts the girl on the bench, careful as to not let her fall to the sides.
After making sure she was sitting stable, Chris moved back a little. She hadn't done anything when he was lending his right shoulder for her to move, but he was still cautious of her.
As the boy waited for the girl catch her breath, he couldn't stop thinking how she was similar to Midnight Pumpkin.
Her left eye was blue like water while the right was red like roses. Her hair was platinum blond like it was her natural color. White skin that didn't look different from the snow. A well shaped round face.
It was exactly like her. Exactly like a game character, a breathtaking beauty.
What if...what if she was really from the game? Even saying to himself it was impossible, Chris couldn't stop being nervous when thinking about that question.
(...Calm down. There must be some explanation for this.)
Focus on what is going on right now. It's no use to think of unnecessary stuff like a fantasy like theory. Telling himself that, the boy managed to put away all the doubts of this matter.
When he realized, the girl was gotten better. She was still not good enough to walk it seems but at least she wasn't struggling like before.
-...Can you talk? - He asks her with a clear voice.
She blinks once at him.
-...If you can talk, there is no need to blink.
-Yes. - An immediate response from her.
Great, she can speak clearer now, Chris thought. But, seen her reaction before, he couldn't start asking right from his interests. He needed to be slow with her.
-Before anything, we need some introductions first. I'm Chris Chambert.
A good start, he thought. If she wouldn't respond his questions, then all Chris needed to do was to lead the topic for his interest.
But the girl looked sad for some reason.

-...Don't you remember who am I?
(No, I don't.)
As he thought of that, Chris continued the conversation.
-Sorry, I don't remember it. Had we met before?
Faking an embarrassment like when someone forgot about an important date with another person. All this in hope for her to say her name.
-I see...so you had forgotten...
And she was that another person realizing he didn't remember.
(Crap, I messed up.)
If this continued like this, the conversation would finish before even got started. Breathing deeply, Chris tried again.
-...I'm really sorry, but I don't recall meeting you before today. If you want, we can make it so that this is our first time encountering each other. How about it?
A straight answer. If he continued to act like a goof as before, she would probably want nothing more with him and go away. For long that was a good thing for Chris, he still needed to know about the girl.
-...Mhm.
For his luck, altho she was feeling down with Chris' words before, the girl agrees with him. With her answer, Chris couldn't help but smile with the success of his plans.
-Thank you! As I said before, I'm Chris Chambert. May I know your name?
-...ight...ing.
But his happiness was too premature. The moment he asked for her name, the girl speak so fast Chris only could understand parts of it. Realizing that, the boy's smile was quickly destroyed.
-I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand what you said. Could you please speak a bit slower?
Chris reacted fast to not lose the conversation's momentum, but the girl just glared at him with an angry face.
-Don't you already know about me already? I thought I would mean something for you after all the time we passed together.
Shrugging her shoulders, the girl faced away from the boy.
(Th-This girl! Fine, let's do it your way!)
Trying not to show his anger from being mocked like that, Chris tried to make a calm face for her.

-Oh, sorry, are you perhaps Midnight Pumpkin the same one I met at in the game before?
With a sarcastic tone, he told the girl.
-See? Was it so hard to say it?
Instead of realizing she was made fun of, the girl smiled towards the boy like she was accepting everything he said.
That was the final drop for Chris.
-I was joking, idiot! There is no way that is true! How can a video-game character exist in real life?!
-But it's the truth tho?
-Fine! Were you from inside the game? The same one? Prove it! C'mon, "Pumking"! Show it to me!
Without being shaken by the boy's remarks, the girl thought for a moment and search in her coat for something.
Waiting for her finish whatever she was doing, Chris was grinning like he had already won a match against his opponent.
(What is up, little girl? Couldn't find anything more to say after all that talk? I bet you are thinking so hard how much you messed up, right? Let me see how you gonna come back from this!)
He was in the right, Chris was sure of it. Any moment now, she would say to him:
"I'm sorry, I just wanted to act like that character because I love it so much and after everyone had forgotten about the game, I needed to know if anyone else could remember it too. I'm sorry I was rude to you before, so can we work together to see what happened with the game?"
(Ok, not exactly like this, but I'm sure she would say something along those lines. Maybe it could be like...)
While he was losing himself in his head, imagining how would she react after her facade was lost, he heard the girl's voice.
-Hey...
-Oh? What is it? Do you perhaps have something for me?
Without hiding his true feelings of superiority, Chris saw the girl holding something behind her back with her cheeks slightly blushed.
-Am...I...I'm... - Embarrassed the girl tried to talk.
-Yes, go on. - He urged her to talk.
-I'm...I'm sorry...about before... I didn't mean things to be like this...between us...
-Oh, it's ok. You were confused and wasn't thinking straight, now we can finally talk norm-
-I'm sorry...I ran away...that time...
The moment she finished saying her phrase made Chris confused and lost of words.
(What? She? Ran away? From whom? Me? No no, wait, what is she talking about now?)
Without mending the confused look on the boy's face, the girl continued.
-I think I might have hurt your feelings back then...I was scared and couldn't face you properly that time...but now...
Carefully and gentle, as if she made any violent move it would break, the girl showed Chris what she was holding.
-At that time, when we were at the backstreet, you tried to give me something, but I ran away like the coward I am...but now, I hope this proves that I'm serious about this and want to make it right this time...so please...could you accept this gift from me?
At that time, in the Backstreet map of [You are mine], when Chris found Midnight Pumpkin for the second time, he was surprised to learn it could accept gifts like the heroines could. After being killed once by the killer, he quickly reloads the area and tried to gift it with the only thing he had in his inventory that time, but it was rejected by the character. It killed him again and ran away.
And the gift he tried to give was-
-G-Grandell, the Bear...
The same fluffy animal the girl had in her hands.
