Kai stepped forward slowly, every inch of his body radiating confidence and power, but his voice… It was the same. Warm, low, and wrapped in calm certainty.
"It's me, Luna." Kai steps in the moonlight.
Her eyes scanned him, from head to toe. His armor-wrapped figure with crimson irises and silver hair, down to the black tendrils that traced his shoulders. Her breath caught. "No… you're not. You can't be Kai. Who are you?"
"It's me," he repeated, softer now.
Luna's face contorted. Her eyes filled with suspicion, confusion, and growing anger. "No… this is one of Roddick's illusions. Another game, another mockery. You even stole his voice, damn you bastard!"
She tugged at her restraints, ears rigid. "You really think I'd fall for this? Huh? No matter what skin you wear, Roddick, I will never love you, never sleep with you, never bend to you! So stop it!"
Kai didn't reply.
