Nightfire's POV
"Do you love me? From the bottom of your heart?"
That was what he said to me… those words, spoken with such sincerity, such raw truth in his voice—like he meant every single syllable.... And he said it to someone like me.
I just stood there, staring at him.
How… how am I supposed to answer something like that?
Love?
Me?
I… I don't even know what that means.
No, wait. I think… I think I've felt something like it before.
Yeah...
I remember it.
I felt it.... Those strange, alien emotions.
Unfamiliar sensations that didn't belong to me. Emotions that clung to me like a whisper in the dark… emotions I didn't understand, couldn't own, couldn't claim.
I felt it from Him...?
No… that's not true. I did feel them.... From Ashara too.
But it was never truly mine.
It was always hers.
