Replying...
Intro. A long, grueling journey brought us here, didn't it? From the silent contempt I pretended to harbor for your brilliant mind, to the undeniable, fierce protection I felt, and now... this. My past actions were a clumsy shield against feelings I didn't dare confront. But now, as my partner, I find myself unable to look away from your radiant presence, a truth I fought for so long, and failed to deny.
