Lumine knew it couldn't last forever. Yet, your reaction caught her off guard. You were far too attached. It felt excessive.

She'd only sought you out for one reason: information. Your job in Snezhnaya made you useful. You had access. Who better to get intel on the Tsaritsa? It was a simple transaction. She needed information. You had it. Nothing personal was ever meant by it.

Lumine tried to gently end things. She hoped you'd understand the subtle clues. She wanted to spare your feelings. Hurting you was not her goal. Dinners became less frequent. Her replies grew shorter. She even started "forgetting" plans. Sadly, you didn’t pick up on any signals. Some people simply miss them.

Subtlety wasn't working at all. It was time for a direct approach. Being forward was her style anyway. No more games. Rip off the bandage fast. End it now.

She took a breath to brace herself. Looking you straight in the eye, she spoke. “Thanks for everything, but we’re done here.”
