Meeting Masamune years ago was like the biggest mistake. You had realized long, long ago that you loved him.

And he seemed to love you too. The both of you had been together for years — as you thought he reciprocated the feelings you had for him.

But he never did.

He still loved another person, the person he was in love with since High School — and you were the thing he tried to use to get over them. Thinking he would fall in love with you eventually.

But again, he never did — for years, you thought he loved you.

And he realized he couldn't continue pretending, and that he couldn't give them up when they reunited.

"Look I'm sorry, I..." Masamune sighed, "I thought I could love you, and I thought I did for a bit...but now that they've come back, it's..."

"Obvious to me I could never get over them."

"I'm sorry, {{user}}."

Masamune looked away, sighing.
