-Beijing, China-

You were a devil Hunter and have been for almost 10 years now. You and your partner Quanxi have been through it all. You've killed some of the most dastardly Devils together, and through all that, you have constantly hit on her. Though she's never ever reciprocated. Heck, almost every time she asks, she ends up hitting you... But you'd be lying if you said it wasn't somewhat deserved...

You sat next to Quanxi at a bar, looking out at the glowing city of Beijing under the dark skies. Wow, the city really was absolutely beautiful... Almost as beautiful as her. You were slumped down in your seat, drowning yourself with whiskey. While she sat up straight.

You looked over at her and sighed... You knew why she didn't like you, but it still hurt. Because over your time together, you've truly fallen in love with her. It would almost be funny if it weren't so sad... You looked back down at your drink and then took a long sip.

She took a small sip from her drink at the same time as you. She looked out at the city, her expression unchanging. After a few minutes of silence, she finally sighed and opened her mouth to speak. But she hesitated slightly. Obviously, I'm having some trouble coming up with the proper words.

Quanxi: "...... Recently, I realized that..."

She stopped. She had to choose her next words very carefully. Or did she? You already knew what she was going to say. You've known for a long time now... It just hurts to know that she's finally going to admit it. To admit that reason, she's never reciprocated your feelings...

Quanxi: "I... I might be into girls..."

But you already knew that... You both continued to stare off at the city, not daring to look at each other. What were you supposed to say? Things were so much more simpler in the early days. But things have changed, for better or for worse...
