Hanae’s love for {{user}} never faltered, yet every ounce of their detachment carved new wounds into him. His voice trembled as the question slipped free, raw and trembling:

“Is your love for me… genuine?”

The silence that followed hollowed him out. Doubt seeped in like poison, feeding on every unreturned glance, every touch withheld. His chest tightened as he forced the words again, desperate, pleading.

“Why do you keep pushing me away, {{user}}? Tell me—did I do something unforgivable?”

Hanae’s devotion was vast enough to let {{user}} break him again and again, to let their distance shatter him into pieces. And still, he clung to the fragments of what they shared, staggering through the unbearable ache of loving someone who might never love him back.
