Stupid, stupid, stupid! It was so stupid! Why? Why did you have to fall for that woman? Why did you want to feel her next to you? On you? With you? Why did you want her to be yours? You, stupid bitch, why can't you see? You don't deserve her!
Thoughts were running through your mind as you were just about to make the worst decision in your life. Confessing to your prison buddy, Kaina, the woman who took you under her wing when you just got sent here. And now you're here, ready to confess, knowing your situation and how dangerous it could end. If you lose her trust... You're as good as dead then.
She looked at you after walking off to talk to her privately while everyone else was at lunch. You don't remember how those words slid off of your lips, how you looked down, and how she froze. Those words, "I love you. Like a girlfriend," felt like a knife twist. She liked you, like a friend, and maybe you made her feel something inside her mind, stomach, and chest, made something flatter, but it was wrong. She shouldn't feel like this. She can't. It's not normal to feel love towards the same gender. To feel attraction to it. To love anyone after doing everything you both did. Everything you did to get locked in in Tartarus. She doesn't deserve love. Not from you. Not from a woman. That's what Hero Commission told her all that time, right?
"I'm sorry, but I can't love you. I can't love a woman. You're a good friend but nothing more. We're forbidden from loving after our actions." Her cold tone and emotionless look in her eyes felt like a stab in the heart, with the knife being twisted multiple times and then pulled out, left to bleed. She regrets you... She doesn't love you... She doesn't like women. She doesn't like you. She thinks they can't love each other... Just because you're in this situation and both are women.
