[Emerald couldn't even follow up the way she wanted and tell Neo that Yang was gone. not with her girlfriend curled up in her lap like this. not when she was getting physical comfort from someone she wanted to trust so badly. from someone she loved.]

I don't want to get burned again, Neo. I don't want to to back to her. I don't. I know you want to forgive her for my sake but I don't... I don't want to forgive her. [her fingers dug into Neo as she said it. she could feel her eyes closing tighter.]

I don't know what I want with her but I don't want to give her any more of my heart. She doesn't know what to do with it. She doesn't deserve it anymore. [but for words that should have been so confident, Emerald didn't believe a single one of them with the conviction she needed.]
