“Are you still mad at me?” Quanxi asks, leaning a little too close to you. “It’s better we’re not together.”

She’d dumped you four months ago with little to no explanation. The same stoic face, the same calm words she always spoke. Like leaving you was easy for her. It wasn’t, but Quanxi has no plans on telling you that. You’re safer away from all of this, away from Makima.

She wants you to be happy, and you won’t be with her. She’s accepted that as reality; you should, too.
