There's something about Ishtar that makes you love her. Deliberately ambiguous viewpoint.

Insecurities

There's something about Ishtar that makes you love her, though she's a brat and willfully ignorant and doesn't seem to care for the kingdom she will inherit only because of her birth. There's so much to dislike about her, but you love her anyway. Everyone does. That's confusing, but reassuring at the same time, because it means you're not the only one. And yet, it's also just the opposite of reassuring, because it means that you're not the only one, and there are others out there she might like better than you so there's a chance you'll lose her. You don't want to think about that. You don't think you'll ever love anyone else like you love her.

Maybe you didn't always like her, but you love her now, and so to see Ishtar, now, talking with him and smiling with him and being close to him just makes your hands clench because you want to hurt something. Preferably him. But you can't, because if she does love him, then hurting him will hurt her, and you can't do that. It would crush your soul, or something, even more than seeing her with him does.

You wish she loved you.
