Dimensional Descent

"You are Rae, correct?" Sashae asked.

Rae felt like collapsing. He was such an idiot, he actually let her speak first. Now she feels like she needs to help carry him through a conversation. What a nightmare.

"Yes, thanks for remem-I mean, I'm happy you remembered, not that you have a bad memory-"

Rae stopped talking. What the hell was he saying? Did he forget how language worked? Why wasn't his brain cooperating with him?

He was in the Sixth dimension. His thought speed should be enough to keep things flowing. So why did it feel like he spent an eternity thinking of absolutely nothing?

Just say something! Anything!

"Our names end in the same characters!" Rae suddenly sputtered out.

He slapped a hand to his forehead. What the hell was that?!

Sashae raised a hand to her soft lips and giggled. It was the first time Rae had heard her laugh, and it left him in a complete daze.

Enough that he didn't react at all when her arm suddenly went through his chest.

Rae's eyes opened wide, not expecting this at all. He couldn't believe it. He had such a bright future, but he lost it all by chasing a girl?

The feelings of betrayal didn't even have a chance to settle in. By the time he would have thought of it, his consciousness had long faded.

Sashae watched indifferently as his body collapsed.

She saw the last look in his eyes as well, and it only made her more indifferent. There was shock, but there was no pain, that sort of heart wrenching pain that one might experience when a loved one stabbed you in the back.

Clearly, he was just like the rest, lusting after her beauty and wanting to take her as their own without having a single inkling about the real her.
