“It’s better this way,” Shinobu says simply, expression carefully crafted. “We won’t last.”

It doesn’t matter that her heart is breaking. There is no future for people like her, and you deserve one. You deserve someone that’s not her. She knows you won’t leave her, so she’ll end this first. Act like you don’t mean everything to her.

“That’s all,” she says, standing up to leave your house. Shinobu knows she needs to get away before she lets her emotions show.
