十 (Ten)

He hands me a rice bowl.

"Thank you." I say.

"You were lucky I found you." He says. 

I start eating it. His eyes are on me. They feel like the sun baking me. It's this awkward feeling that arises in me. He moves his hand up my back. I wince. I wonder if he has my clothes. I'm just in pants and this is uncomfortable for me.

"Oh, and by the way." He moves his hand.  

A vine slaps my face, and my clothes drop on me like rain.

"Your clothes. I washed them for you, your welcome by the way." He says.

"Thank... thank you." I say.

He twirls my hair. 

"What's wrong? Still mad at me? Don't be like Lan Zhan." He says.

I turn to him in surprise. 

"You... you know him?" I ask.

"I saw your mind. I know everybody in your head." He pokes it.

His eyes look down.

"But..." He stands up.

"But what?" I ask.

"I know your pain." He puts his hands on my shoulders. 

"Pain?" I ask.

He moves closer to my head.

"It hurts doesn't it." He says.

"I..." I start.

"Don't try to deny it. You're in pain. You're in pain every day. Right?" He asks.

His hands start glowing. I look up.

"Yes." I answer. 

"Do you want the pain to stop?" He asks.

"Yes." I nod.

"Let me take the suffering from you." He says.
