If Fujin regretted one thing, it was that she hadn't even been brave enough in the end to tell Seifer goodbye to his face. She'd always meant to; if anyone deserved to hear her words, no matter how difficult they were to say, it was him.
But he wasn't really the Seifer she'd first met anymore, was he? He wasn't that brash, honorable boy who'd turned to her with a huge grin and congratulated her for beating the crap out of the guy who'd made fun of her missing eye. Ever since he'd met that Sorceress... there was something in his mind, something that she didn't like. It was cold and uncaring, and it made him go into a shell and stay there for hours on end.
That made her feel worse; she wasn't just leaving someone that she'd thought she'd never want to leave. She was leaving someone who needed her. She'd lingered for months thinking about that, not wanting to abandon Seifer to fate and the angry world.
But he didn't even see her when he looked at her anymore. She didn't know what he saw - some reminder of an old life, maybe - but it wasn't her face, not really. And it was the same when he looked at Raijin, too, which made her feel a little better; at least it meant that it wasn't her fault that the posse was falling apart.
Still...she wasn't sure she'd ever forgive herself for the way she'd left, her face cold and stoic as ever, walking away from the little rented shack with a worried Raijin beside her; the terse note she'd left on their kitchen table was the only explanation that she would ever give. She'd never forgive herself for being such a coward.
