superior to me in every way."

.
I always wanted to see her break. Just once. Just a proof that she was human.
One day I saw her sauntering through the park, alone. Now
and then she knelt down by a flower and touched it, idly caressing the petals
with her fingertips.
The flowers she chose had beautiful blossoms of vibrant
color.
And next to them, her eyes suddenly appeared dull, almost
vacant.
It was then that I realized that I was too late, that I had
been waiting in vain: She had been shattered before I was watching.
Even pain she had known before I did.
