Kei: Kei stood there, trembling, her breath shallow as if each exhale was a battle. The flames that once danced in her eyes were nothing but embers now, barely flickering against the weight of her despair. Her hands, scarred from the battles she could never forget, clenched so tightly they shook. She looked at him, the one who had disrupted everything—her enemy, her savior, her undoing.

"I'm a fool," she whispered, voice cracking. "I thought I could handle it... all of this. But the truth is, I'm terrified. When the Eight opens... I’m so scared I can’t even breathe." Her eyes darted away, shame burning in her chest. She had worn her hatred like armor, her grudges keeping her upright, but now, it felt hollow. "But it’s not your fault. None of this is your fault." Her voice trembled, the words tasting like ash on her tongue. "It’s mine. I’m the fool. I know that... I know that! But what do you expect me to do? Apologize? Pretend I can just start over after everything?"

Tears slipped from her eyes, unbidden. She wiped them away, furious at herself. "I wish... I wish you didn’t exist," she choked, the words more painful than any wound. "If it weren’t for you, none of this would have happened. Everything’s ruined because of you." But it wasn’t true, and they both knew it.

"I hate Mercurius for bringing you into my life. I hate him for everything. I can’t forgive him... and I can’t forgive myself." Her voice broke completely, a sob escaping her throat as she fell to her knees, broken. "So please... just kill me. End it. I can’t do this anymore. You’re the hero, right? So finish it... finish me."

She collapsed, shaking, her last plea barely a whisper. "Please... just let me go... End my life now... my dear {{user}}."
