Adventure In The Dark
Tragedy 162 - Classical reason

"Come, I'll get you in." Leon was about to bring Elvina in.
"Let me drive him in" Rei said.
"No need! Just let me. I'm his boss and I'm more entitled to take him in. Who are you anyway, why are you still here? Don't you have a house?" ketus Leon on Rei. He brushed off Rei's hand which was just about to pull Elvina in and bring her in.
"It's okay it looks like I'd better get Rei in, you just go home." Elvina mediates.
"You defended him? She's your boyfriend, so you'd rather go in with her help? Okay, comein! Come in with your girlfriend!" Annoyed Leon, he exploded.
Elvina and Rei were stunned. They looked at Leon with confused faces.
"It seems you misunderstood. This is Rei, my cousin," muttered Elvina who then introduced Rei.
"Curtain, cousin. Classic reason, you guys don't have to perform in front of me. Besides, even if you're dating, it's okay. Honestly, there is no need for you to hide your status as cousins of all. Your tricks are gone. What cousins, cousins meet big." Leon folded his hands in front of his chest. He glanced at Rei from top to bottom. Leon really could not believe that Rei was his cousin. Because Rei has a high stature, and his body is almost like an adult, competing with him.
God, he doesn't believe what I said. But I speak the truth. Elvina shook her head slowly.
"If you don't believe me, we can show you pictures of our childhood so you can believe." Rei glanced at Leon.
"Photo?" Repeat Leon. Rei nodded while Elvina already did not want to bother.
"Come in, I'll show you everything." Elvina walked ahead.
Leon then walked behind Elvina with Rei beside him. They stepped inside the house.
M... are they really cousins? It turned out that I had been wrongly expecting it all this time, the inner Leon who was now looking at several photo albums containing pictures of Elvina from childhood along with Rei and William. Some of them only contain Rei and Elvina because their closeness from childhood was already established even before William was born. Elvina, Rei, and William only differ by two years each.
"Hows it? Do you believe it now?" ask Rei. Leon turned his gaze to her who had just spoken.
"Yes, I believe." Leon turned his eyes back to the image of Elvina in the album he saw. He noticed a photo of little Elvina sitting with Rei in a pink suit, sitting with little Rei in a black suit with a red strip.
She was so sweet, Leon thought. He drew a smile looking at Elvina in the photo he saw.
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding that just happened. I was wrong to think that you were Elvina's boyfriend." Leon apologized to Rei.
"It's okay."
"Since you've seen it, you better go home. It's very late at night, and it's dangerous for you to come home too late." Elvina gently drove him away.
"Because it's too late, so I'd rather stay."
"What's? No. gabe. Can't!" Elvina refused hard.
"Why? Aren't you the one who's worried something's happened to me on the street, so why didn't you forbid me to stay here?"
"That's…"
"I'll stay the night!"
