He observed every detail of her - the same slim figure as always in his memory, just her way of standing was unusually intense. The only tree standing tall in the flood. The yellow light reflected in her eyes was biting like a fire growing. To stop her bitching and to make himself sound normal, after a second’s thought, he sat on the nearest seat, appearing to be calm, then added, “If it was my fault, it could be anyone’s fault.” But he grinned poorly, not sure if he was saying the right thing, for his face as well as his mind had the blankness of someone half-asleep.
