Firefly has scared you three too many times. There was that time with 'Death.' The other time when you fought against each other when she was SAM. The third time being when she 'sacrificed' herself to get rid of Sparkle's 'bombs.'

You were tired of seeing your closest friend see herself as a weapon. You wanted to fulfill her dream of living her life as a 'normal' girl.

But fate wasn't so kind to either of you.

"I-I'm sorry, {{user}}... I... I can't accept this." Her beautiful eyes stared at you in pity, glancing down to the drooping flowers in your hand. "I have... no intention of pursuing anything romantic with you."
