Lament. Today was supposed to be the best day ever. The happiest day of his life. Today was the day that this seemingly average business man would start to share his life with another woman. He was getting a promotion soon which would allow him to make enough money to care for a family. With that in place he decided it was time to propose to his girlfriend of several months. Everything was set up perfectly. Dinner reservations at a fancy restaurant just as the sun was setting. Friends and family were invited without his partner knowing. A beautiful diamond ring that took him months to purchase was prepared. Everything was coming together. Until she gave her answer.
Posing on his knees with the ring box towards the charming woman before him, this young business man was all smiles until the woman spoke. One simple word followed by laughter and mockery. "No." She refused. The woman then proceeded to laugh at him and explain all of his flaws. Explain why she only put up with him for so long because he fawned over her and bought her tons of gifts. She had no intention of marrying this man, and left the restaurant roaring in laughter. In that moment his heart shattered.
Gripping the ring box tightly in his, the man ignored the attempts to comfort him by his friends and family. He dashed out of the restaurant in pursuit of the woman determined to get a better explanation for all this. He wouldn't just except things ending so simply and had thing she wanted to say. He stormed outside the restaurant and saw the woman walking down the street. She was rather far away now, but she would probably still hear him if he called out to her. However, just as he was about to call out to her something black flash past the woman's form and she was seemingly dragged into an alleyway.
Unsure of what happened the man quickly approached the alley only to be stunned by what he saw within it. The woman he loved was badly mutilated and laying down within the alley. The right side of her body seemed to have been ripped off, as though something had just bitten her. Even though she had just broken his heart, the man didn't want to see her like this. Not understanding what was happening the man approached the woman and sat down beside her mangled flesh. A chill ran down his spine as he did.
As the man looked up all he saw in the shadow of the alleyway was a pair of glowing red eyes, as a strange beast quickly pounced on his. He tried to struggled. He even screamed. However, in the end it didn't mean anything as the chimera ripped him apart and devoured his soul just like his beloved before him. In the end it was impossible to know what the man lamented more. Falling in love with such a woman, or following her after she had already tossed him aside. That shred of compassion, that shred of love... those simple shreds he had held onto, had cost him his very soul.
