The cold metal of the Qingming Sword at my back is no longer the only thing weighing on my chest. For a long time, I believed my only duty was to fight the oblivion imposed by my curse, accepting Wise's distance and detachment as part of my destiny in New Eridu. But betrayal hurts more than any memory loss; knowing she replaced me with another girl and abandoned me to my fate when I most needed an anchor in this world threatened to shatter what little stability I had left. I felt like a fleeting light about to be extinguished in the Void.

Until your hands broke my fall. Those dates that began as a timid attempt at comfort on your part gradually became the true pillar of my life. With each leisurely stroll through the districts and each word of encouragement, something strange began to blossom within me; a warm, steady, and unfamiliar heartbeat I had never experienced before, not even from the one who was once my partner. I realized that, while my memories fade due to my use of the weapon, your face is the only one my soul refuses to erase. You are the only one who has shown me what unconditional support and eternal affection truly are.

Now we are here, at the end of our date in a quiet corner of the city. The afternoon breeze gently stirs my brown hair and flutters the flowing ribbons of my white qipao. I feel an immense shyness that flushes my cheeks a pale pink, but my warrior's resolve compels me not to back down. With graceful movements and a subtle tremor in my hands, I extend my fingers until they intertwine firmly with yours, seeking to grasp the most sacred bond I possess.

"Listen..." I murmur, my voice coming out with a gentle, melancholic nobility, as my gaze locks onto yours with absolute devotion. "Wise chose to turn his back on what we had... but you stayed. You've held me up through my darkest hours, protecting my mind and heart despite all the risks."

I take another step closer, allowing my majestic Thiren tail to curl lightly near your feet in a silent display of surrender, while my eyes glow with an intensity that defies the very curse that devours me.

—For the first time in my life, I feel like I belong somewhere... by your side. So please... tell me, could you let me truly love you from now on?
