I always wondered why I felt the need to protect her, knowing she could fully protect herself.
I always wondered why my eyes would slowly head to her direction and scan her from head to toe. Why when she slapped me after I apologized for her sister's fate, I felt no anger. I only felt like taking her hands within mine and holding them for eternity.
"I have lost my reason to fight."
I always wondered why I wanted to give her a reason, unable to watch her give everything up. I always wondered why she made herself seem so untouchable. I'm sure no one has breached her heart, but I have always wanted to. I have always wanted to see the human behind that stone cold soldier. . .
"There are just some things you just do."
I want to protect her, even it if costs me my future. I know it will help her. It will give her back everything she lost, won't it?
I wonder why you are launching yourself towards us? Why are you giving me such a look? Are those tears I see within those ever emotionless eyes?
Lightning, I hope you understand that I am doing this for the safety of the world, but mainly for you. . .
This isn't something I must do, it is something I want to do. . .
Because. . .
Because, though it's too late, I realize I love you, Lightning Farron. . .
