"Alma… Thank you for… for loving me. And well, I still apologize for not having informed you about my relationships and everything else…"
"W-Well, I don't like prying into other people's persona lives…" Alma muttered, smiling cutely. "So… Um, you don't regret it, right?"
"Of course not…" I said, caressing her cute face. "I'm very happy this happened between the two of us, even if it was a bit… well, fast. But through these last days, I've really been seeing your growth, and I have grown to admire your courageous heart. Despite how you seem to struggle and all of that, you've grown a lot… you're an incredible girl, Alma."
"M-Maria… Nobody… nobody has said that to me before…" Alma looked at me with emotional eyes, as little tears fell from them. "T-Thanks…!"
As she hugged me, she cried over my shoulders.
Geez, she's still a little crybaby, isn't she?
"There, there… it's alright."
I caressed her little head, kissing her forehead.
