Trying to catch a blade with bare hands is something only in movies, do not attempt it at home kids, I repeat do not attempt it at home. And here I was clutching Constance's knife somehow with my robotic hand.

"I got your master!" Enju's voice came from my arm.

"Close indeed. Thanks." I said, then looked up to Constance and stared her straight in the eye.

In a confusing attempt, Constance attempted to pull the knife away from me, only to find my grip on it solid as a clamp.

"LET GO CHERI!" She yelled. "LET ME KILL HER!"

"I am afraid I can't let you do that."

"WHY!?!?!?" Constance grip on Via loosened, who just slump to the ground on one side. But nonetheless her attempted to grab the knife was further fueled by frenzy.

"Je t'aime." I said.

Constance froze.

"What did you just say?..." Constance said, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"Je t'aime." I repeated for her again.

"Ahhh..." Constance back away one step, and soon her hands slipped away from the knife and slumped to the ground altogether.

"Is this really real Cheri!?" she looked up to me and said.

"Yes." I small with a small nod.

"Since when?" Constance looked to me as if she had trouble believing her eyes now.

"Since the day you moved in beside me I guess. The time you cooked for me, the times you chided me for my bad habits, the times we went out together...That's when I started to find myself...Stuck with you...Yeah..."

I looked to Constance and scratched my head.

"Cheri..." she said softly.

"Sorry I am not wording it well. But yeah that's when I found myself starting to fall in love with you..."

I stared down Constance, and there she started back at me with her mirror clear amber eyes, now all clouded in tears.

"Raymond!" She lunged forward and hugged me by the waist.

"It's fine." I smoothly patted her head, and caught a glimpse of Via waking up from the side.

"Raymond..." she muttered weakly.

"Via..." I looked back to her and Constance again.

"Yeah. We are gonna have to call the cops. But when you do so..." I thinned my lips. "Tell them I did this instead."

"Cheri!"

"Masta!"

Enju and Constance both spoke out.

"I don't want you to get into trouble Constance." I turned to her then back to Via again. "Just blame it on me instead."

Via looked back and forth between us confusingly for a moment.

And after what felt like 10 marathons, Via nodded.

Q: Do you ship Ricon (Riga and Constance)?
