Valantine
Valantine stared into those cold eyes. She still didn't believe those eyes could love. After all, those eyes were the type that had hated the being attached to them. "I.... I can't. Its not that easy!"
A hand balled into a fist slammed into her face, filled with all the anger she had for this girl. Naturally, such a fist did nothing, because there was no anger left, because inside she was done. "Do you love yourself?"
You have nothing left! I can sense it. Whatever drove you before is gone. Let me get it back for you. Don't you feel it? Physical power impossible for a human to obtain? It would be so easy to get it back. Your far stronger than Valantine after all.
Tsumiko"Feh." She spat on the ground next to Vallentine, but never averted her eyes.
"How could I? I killed the man I loved, my sister, and then my actions directly led to the death of over one hundred million people, all because of my cowardice. I destroyed everything I cared about through my own folly."
She glared down dismissively at Vallentine, yet giving the impression that she truly did care.
"Even I'm just a phantom who only can appear once in a blue moon. I'm a cautionary tale, a woman too cowardly to face her fears and guilt and forces it all on her progeny."
Sakura laughed derisively at herself. It was a bitter sound, full of hatred and self loathing. She took a deep breath, and squatted down, grabbing Vallentine in a hug. She pulled her tight up against her, seemingly uncaring of the plight of Thea and the demon.
She was a rude woman who'd tried to invade her abode, after all.
She didn't know anything. Nothing at all.
