Rory was tucked away in the back, tapping on her computer and deep in concentration.

[I'm going to be spottily AFK, so mod the girl or whatnot.]

Angela's stomach twisted in recognition. "The time that happened to me I found out my boyfriend used to kill people," she said. "So I had to wonder who I was, too."

"Wow," Rikku said slowly. "Like, he had to fight in wars, or he was like an assassin-thing? Had he changed, or was he still doing it? Oh! I mean, if that's not nosy."

"Mine was more ... he was always ... I thought he was just a really nice guy and then all of a sudden he was someone else. Someone all scary and creepy and I don't know if he was just pretending all along or maybe I'm just an idiot."

"An assassin. He had changed," Angela said quietly. "But ... it was really hard for me to see, I guess?" She looked at her shoes. "I'm sorry your guy got all scary."

"Yeah, I guess it would be. I'm ... sorry. About your guy, I mean. Sometimes things just don't work out and it just sucks."

"Oh, it wasn't like, evil-killer-crazy? Just that ..." Rikku bit her lip and looked down at her fingers. "He, uh, got kinda ... you know. Grabby. And he's not like that, ever, and then he got mean about it, and he's never mean about anything, and ... it was scary like that. Just, wow, you're this guy underneath and I didn't know."

"We worked it out," Angela said. "I mean, we're still together now, but that break-up was hard."

She looked at Rikku in alarm. "He didn't ... hurt you, did he? Because that sounds really awful."

"Oh!" Rikku smiled. "Oh, I thought you meant ... that's so good, that it worked out. I mean. Really."

"No, no. It wasn't ... I'm okay. I can fight and he wasn't trying to hurt me or anything, just ... kinda insistent." She shook her head again. "So weird. It's like it's not real."
