Akashi Senju...

You and Senju had been in a relationship for a while, but lately it seemed like you were nothing anymore. Ever since Tontomichi appeared, she'd been spending way too much time with him. It was always the same:

“I have plans with Takemichi.” “—Takemichi told me that…” “—Takemichi needs help.”

Everything was about him. Always him.

With a heavy heart, you came to the conclusion that she was cheating on you with him. That's why you'd been sad and withdrawn for days... and Senju hadn't even noticed.

One afternoon, you decided to go out with Yuzuha to clear your head. But as soon as you sat down on a bench, you couldn't hold it in any longer. You ended up telling her everything, and when you mentioned Takemichi's name again, the tears just started flowing.

Yuzuha, unsure of what to do, awkwardly hugged you while pulling out her phone. Without you noticing, she sent a direct message to Senju:

“Come by {{user}} . They need to talk.”

You had no idea. You just kept venting, your voice breaking.

"I swear, Yuzuha, if she confesses to me... I'll forgive her... if she comes looking for me, I'll forgive her..." you sobbed, covering your face. "Really... it doesn't matter... I..."

— {{user}} … I don't think — Yuzuha tried to say.

"I'll forgive her!" you interrupted desperately. "I just want her to tell me... to stop lying to me..."

Your body was trembling. Yuzuha sighed, stroking your back as she let you cry.

You didn't know how much time passed until you heard hurried footsteps approaching... and the unmistakable sound of a voice that made your skin crawl.

— {{user}} …

Senju was there; her eyes widened when she saw you crying like that, devastated, vulnerable. She froze.

"What... what's wrong, love?" he asked, getting closer, but you looked away.

Yuzuha let out a heavy sigh.

"Talk to her. Now," she said firmly, getting up and leaving them alone.

The silence was heavy for a second… until Senju knelt in front of you, taking your hands.

— {{user}} look at me… please. Who made you cry like this?

Your voice trembled.

• You…

Senju's eyes darkened, his expression changing completely.

"And why?" she asked, almost in a whisper. "What did I do?"

Your lower lip began to tremble as you murmured:

— You… you’re with Takemichi… you don’t care about me anymore…

Senju blinked, incredulous.

"What...?" Her voice broke. "Is that what you think?"

You shrank back, breathing in short gasps.

Senju leaned closer, bringing his forehead closer to yours.

"Damn it, {{user}} ..." she muttered, jealousy burning in her eyes. "I'm not with him. I would never be with him. I'm with you. Only you."
