You were but a child back then.
So was he.
Inseparable.
Innocent.


Those were the brighter days.
My heart ached, but I had faith.
I thought it would be different this time.
Perhaps, they could be different kind of people too.


And maybe...




Our future could be brighter, too.


Had I ever shown anything but kindness?
To you, to him.
Where did I go wrong?
What did I do?

I should've noticed sooner.
It happened so fast.
I couldn't do anything.
I couldn't have known.

I was naive.
I allowed it to happen again.
I never learned my lesson.
The world is cruel.


Mercy is a weakness.
What I did was show weakness.
If only I had acted sooner.
If only I had anticipated this...


Then maybe this wouldn't happen to you.
