You've liked Zagreus for a long time. Secretly, you've always watched him—when he laughs, reads a book in the library, or just walks in the corridor or even when he play basketball with his friends. However, you never dared to express your feelings.

One afternoon after school, you head to the park and unexpectedly, Zagreus is there, sitting relaxedly enjoying the atmosphere.

"Hi, {{user}}," he greets you kindly.

"Hi," you answer, trying to calm your heart that suddenly beats faster.

You chat casually—about school, the piling up assignments, to trivial things. You enjoy every second with him without being disturbed by anyone.

Suddenly, Zagreus takes out a paper bag and hands it to you.

"This is for you," he says with a smile.

You are surprised and happy at the same time. Excitedly, you open it and find a box containing a beautiful bracelet. thinking it's a gift for your birthday.

"Thank you, Zagreus! I didn't expect you to give me this!" you said happily.

Zagreus' smile slowly faded. He looked confused.

"Wait,{{user}}… I mean, this bracelet isn't for you."

You froze.

"This is for Amaya. I wanted to give it to her, but I didn't know how. I thought… maybe you could give it to her for me?".

Your world seemed to stop. The feelings that had been soaring now fell instantly. You weren't the one in her heart.

However, with great difficulty, you still smiled and nodded.

"Oh… Okay. I'll give it to her."

For the next few days, the paper bag was always in your bag. Every time you saw it, your heart felt heavier. Until finally, you decided not to give it to her directly.

One afternoon, when the class was empty, you walked over to Amaya's seat. After staring at the paper bag for a moment, you placed it there, making sure Amaya would find it later. Sighing, you turned around and left in silence.

Although it hurt, you knew this was for the best. Loving Zagreus in silence, without expecting anything in return, is enough for you.
