Mask With Tears の小説・ストーリー

My fingers shook a little as I opened the file. Inside was a mask. A sexy black mask made of soft lace and shiny silk. It would cover the eyes and upper face but leave the mouth and jaw free. Delicate black lace patterns swirled around the eye holes like dark flowers. Small shiny crystals sparkled at the edges under the street light. Thin black ribbons waited to tie at the back of the head. It looked mysterious and dangerous. The kind of mask strippers wore when they wanted to hide their identity but show everything else.

I've been crying for days, and it hurts too much. I turned away, tears streaming down, especially since his eyes appeared red. Does he want to cry out of pity? Even with a half-mask, I felt tears welling up. It seemed my makeup would be ruined. I took a tissue from the table, wiping away the tears on my cheeks. I don't know how I look now, but I don't want to remove my mascara; it's too complicated. Oliver pulled me away as it seemed people were starting to notice us, especially since I was with two others. I elbowed him because he still had time to annoy me.

I frowned. “In my social circle, almost everyone wears smiling masks. Why? Because if they don’t, it will show faces with tears or wrinkles in their foreheads.” He shook his head. “Few people want to deal with that. Even if we can find people who don’t mind dealing with that, it is just on the surface.”

The doctor quickly ordered the servants to clear the stuffed animals out. "She's sensitive to anything with fur. If she breathes it in by accident, she could choke." Margaret panicked and hurried to help move them out. Soon after, a guard came to report that Tyler had passed out from the pain after his eyes were gouged out. "What should we do with him?" he asked Neil. "Feed them to him," Neil replied coldly. "Maybe in his next life, he'll use his eyes better." The guard left with the order. A while later, Ollie's men came back as well.

Ruby, upon hearing my voice, looked up from the policewoman's arms, her eyes swimming in tears. Her look was a tangled mess of emotions: fear, shame, but above all, a desperate hope, like she was clinging to a lifeline, and a barely perceptible flicker... A silent question, checking if I was sticking to the plan. Choking back sobs, she reached for me. "Honey... honey..." I moved quickly, brushing past Seth's scorching stare, and wrapped Ruby in my arms, shielding her from the prying lenses with my back, a fortress of protection.

She is completely out of her mind with worry and trying her absolute best to mask it behind her usual loud, aggressive attitude. "I'm sorry, Mom," I whisper, my grip tightening on her arm. That single line breaks her completely. The harsh mask on her face melts in an instant. Huge, heavy tears spill over her eyelashes, running down her cheeks without a sound. She wipes her nose with the back of her sleeve, her shoulders shaking violently as the tears she was holding back finally flood out.

I felt bitter about it. Shortly afterward, Celine broke her embrace. She raised her head and looked at me with her usual warm smile. The smile that always intoxicated me. "Are you okay now?" I asked as I reached out to gently rub her cheek. "Um," she replied, nodding her head. My gaze locked on her, who was still smiling. "I hope you weren't hurt by Alpha Archer's words before, Celine." "Haha... what are you worried about, Zelos? I'm fine! And I'm not hurt by it, ok?" Of course, I knew that her laughter and smile were her way of healing the wounds in her heart.

She coughed out terribly as she held her hands to her throat. Reynold turned Vega around to face him, only to find her eyes filled with tears. "I'm so sorry for letting you see me this way, Your Majesty," Vega sobbed, but Reynold rather held her closer to him in a tight embrace. She had no idea how much he had missed her and wanted to be with her. While he was still unconscious, a while ago, the sudden smell of roses peppered his nostrils, and he had to force his way out of the dark room, which only brought him to reality.
