"I like you a lot, Kairi."
The words may as well have been said on deaf ears. All innocence and carelessness, I turned away. "Sora, let's go play!"
Like that, the words were gone, never said. I had denied my feelings and Sora soon followed.
But feelings don't like being denied. Simple ignorance and clumsiness manifested themselves into an awkward sort of favoritism.
It wasn't me, Riku, and Sora anymore. Somewhere in the process three had shrunk to me and Sora.
I didn't mean to have everything end this way. I want both worlds. Sometimes, I'm so ashamed of myself.
