The first thing you noticed was the rain hitting the window, the sound echoing throughout the room. The storm was still raging beyond the apartment walls and you just wanted to bury yourself under the cover. Slowly stretching your hand out, the body that was suppose to be by your side weren’t there and you slowly open your eyes, awakening with the light piercing down at you. It was empty but the warmth was still there, the bed molded into her form. Groggily you sat up, the world still a blur to you and let your eyes wandered the room.
And there, in an armchair by the window, was Yoohyeon in her nude form. Even after spending hours with her, your breathing stopped to marvel at her perfection. Legs crossed, highlighting her heavy tights. Her skin glistering in the reflection of the sole lamp, showing a near perfect skin. Toned in all the right places and heavy where it should be. A neck that was screaming to be touched, to be devoured. Even if the playful smile on her lips was gone, both after laughing and devouring you, it felt like it was always there. Her entire face was framed by blue hair, not something that suit a lot of people but it made her even more perfect.
Her slow breathing heaved her breast up and down but the rest of her wast still. Her eyes was not on you but out the window. You was uncertain if she knew you were awake, she made no sign of it. An emptiness enveloped you, not sure the lack of affection from her or that she paid more attention to the outside storm than you.
Slowly lifting your body of the mattress, you made your way around the bed and sat carefully down a few feet away from her. You wanted to reach out and touch her, feel the warmth of her skin. But something stopped you. Was it her sitting there as a goddess? Was it fear, to disturb her? What was she thinking at this moment, so calm in the middle of this storm?
“Is it time?” you finally said
“Yes”
Her gaze was steady, never leaving the window. Looking at the raging storm that was happening outside. But her breathing was calm, she was calm.
“Are you afraid?”
It was a stupid question. Of course she should be in this situation. Anyone should.
That playful smirk was back on her lips. She didn’t mind it, she didn’t mind you being there with her.
“No”
The silence stretched on, deafening. Even the rain, so aggressively hitting the window, barely made a dent in the silence that was enveloping the room.
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe”
Yoohyeon voice was strained, like she was speaking through pain. It was something barely above a whisper yet the force behind it overpowered everything else.
“Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion…” she let out a small grunt, pain now visible on her face
“I watch C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate” the light in her eyes was slowly fading.
“All those… moments will be lost… in time… like… tears in the rain”
In those last moment, Yoohyeon finally turned her head, facing you. The light that had been in her eyes was gone, staring blankly at you.
“Time… to die”
It felt like an eternity have passed when you finally moved. She had long stopped breathing. At least you think she needed breathing. The room was a mess, clothes laid scattered everywhere. Making your way around the room, you gathered your things and getting ready for whatever waited you. But you didn’t want to disturb her, as if she would ever be disturbed again.
After carefully getting dressed, always glancing back at Yoohyeons, you made your way towards her where you finally closed her eyes, that light that would never shine again. You carefully lifted her up from the chair and gently placing her on the bed. Her skin was still warm, not much time must have passed. She didn’t feel that much different from before.
In slow motions, you started to wrap her body in the sheet. Rolling her on it, wanting to protect her body from the outside world. Making the perfect tomb for a perfect being.
With Yoohyeon body in your arms, you walked down the corridor. Darkness stretched out both in front of you and behind you and in the corridor the sound of the storm was gone. It was only silence. On either side down the hall was large heavy doors, behind them lost souls. Did they know what have happened, the laughter and how loud you been? Did they know what has been lost? You wondered while slowly making your way down the hallway
No one was down in the lobby, it had long been deserted. The door to the outside world stood wide open - showing the storm still going on. Without stopping, you stride forward walking out into the rain and in a matter of seconds both you and Yoohyeon was drenched. But you didn’t feel the cold, the wetness and didn’t shiver. It felt like the water was cleansing you. Tilting your head, looking up at the dark clouds, you let the rain grace your face. Feeling the water running down your cheeks.
She might just have been a replicant, but she was the most human of us all
