Authors Note: This is an alternate ending to Catalyst, though it's not required for you to have read it to understand this drabble series I would ask that you do give it a go and let me know what you think of it. For those of you who have read Catalyst then you'll have to disregard anything after chapter fifty one in order for this to make sense,this drabble series will follow the Anime/Manga for the most part.

And with that out of the way please enjoy!

Regret twisted her from the inside, and now he would never know…

I love you.
