9. Love and Dedication

I've never known feelings can be so complex. He was once my lover, he once warmed my side. He made my mind at ease every time he was in my bed.

With Basilea, I was feeling another kind of fondness. I hadn't felt the same for another being and I don't understand why I couldn't reciprocate his feelings toward me back then.

It'll all be so simple if I could, I wanted to feel the same towards him. I don't know why, though I strongly wish I could.

"He still loves you, you know that right?" Basilea asked as she wrapped her arms around my body. It had been a week since I visited him back in his room, he has been keeping himself busy with his peers.<
