Title: "Anxious..." The timing would seem perfect now; he cannot wait to make his next move. The title for an opportunistic man. (Increases Intelligence, Strength, and TP)
That battle was tough...and everything that followed it...was even tougher. The great Kharlan tree had gone absolutely crazy, destroying Palmacosta killing who knows how many innocent people, and we had to fight through yet another desian base with...ugh..Kratos' help, to shut off the reactor there and let Sheena counter-act the Sylvarant spirits powers with the forces of the Tethe'alla summon spirits (which was MY idea, thank you very much). Colette got hurt as well...and it's not fair that she's had to suffer this way; although I'd never like her the way she apparently likes me, I do care about her, and we all agreed to meet Dad to see if he'd be able to help us. Although he was unable to really do anything about the cruxius crystal that was making life tougher than hell for Colette, we decided we'd at least rest for the night and regroup tomorrow.
Presea...she was on the terrace of my house, with the dying dusk light making her beautiful hair shimmer with traces of bright sunlight. I was so used to her standing without body language or expression..you know, just kind of straight with arms by her sides. But, as beautiful as that girl is, she looked even more so tonight, leaning on the arm rail, one elbow on the top of the railing with her hand holding up her angel like face, as she stared into the fading sky. I couldn't make out her facial expression, but she sure seemed content. And maybe something was on her mind...I decided I'd go and check to see if I could maybe help her. She deserves SO much more than she's experienced...it's not fair..bastards like Vharley and the Pope and Rhodyle, using her as nothing more than a tool. It's no wonder why she has trouble communicating. With ALL of us...even Genis and I, she still can't quite open her feelings to us yet. Well, I'm not gonna give up, and tonight, I'll try harder than ever to win her over. After talking with the rest of the gang for a bit, I looked up making sure Presea was still there, and, seeing that she was, I entered the house and headed for the stairway.
I stopped as I saw Genis...sleeping on the floor? ...Uh...well I suppose it HAS been a rough couple days but...Presea is like..RIGHT HERE...I mean...TONIGHT...well, your loss buddy!
GENIS SAGE
Title: "Pleasant Dreamer" Unbeknownst to his rival, he has spoken to the one he desires, and the aftermath of the conversation echoes pleasantly within the quiet confines of his mind. His memory retells it perfectly for him. (Increases Intelligence, Evasion and HP)
"Presea...um...about that fight before...you were really...really...really...amazing.." Genis smiled contentedly at the ax girl, with shimmering eyes brightening his otherwise tired facial exterior. Presea smiled back, looking him square in the eye.
"Thank you, Genis. As I have told you previously, I have great respect for your battle abilities as well." Genis blushed again, turning away from Presea slightly. There was a brief pause as the two continued through the Iselia forest, bringing up the rear of the party.
"It is...beautiful...here..." Presea slowed her pace as they crossed the bridge which overhung a quiet babbling brook, its pristine aura heightened by the sunlight sparkling on the gentle water. Genis slowed also, and they eventually stopped in the middle of the bridge, overlooking the stream.
"It is Presea...it's beautiful...just like..." Genis halted, his face grimacing in apparently pain, although obviously not anything physical. Presea turned to him, intrigued.
"Like...what, Genis? I would like to hear the completion of your simile. Please?" Genis looked up, slightly shocked. Presea's face expressing interest, her eyes showing wild, untamed energy that looked as though it was dying to be released. Genis closed his eyes briefly, then continued, his lips quivering, while Presea continued to gaze at him with the same apparent anticipation.
"It's beautiful...just like..you.." Genis prepared for the worst. A rare outburst, or even a blank look of confusion; that would be equally as devastating. He cringed, then looked upward opening his left eye ever so slightly, seeing Presea reach forward with her hand, intertwining it with his.
Their fingers interlaced nervously, both warm with youthful energy and nervous excitement. They smiled at each other, Presea's eyes shimmering, open not quite all the way, giving her an expression of genuine warmth and compassion. Genis was slightly more taken aback, his visage displaying more excitement, but he contained himself, and they turned again to look at the brook, letting the slow trickle of water fill their senses as they held hands.
"I appreciate this, Genis...I have waited..too long..for moments like this..." Presea continued to focus her attention to the stream as she spoke.
"I-I...I'm just glad it's happening right now" Genis cursed under his breath for the obvious reason of stuttering, but to his surprise, Presea simply laughed softly, her innocence ever present in her laugh, completely overcoming her monotone. She stroked his strong fingers with her own softly and leaned against him. She smiled to herself, absolutely amazed that she had opened up this much. But..something was bothering her even now. Before Genis could get too comfortable, or too confident...she released her grip from his hand and re-established her stoic posture.
"Um...we should rejoin the others, but...we will talk...again. That is..if you want to..." Presea blushed slightly, and was thankful as Genis continued to smile.
"For sure! I can't wait to talk again! You're right though, we should get going!" The two walked side by side all the way back to Dirk's house, both too involved with their internal feelings to find any further words...

Title: "Anxious" ...
Everyone else had retired for the night. Early as it was, everyone was tired. But Presea was still up, and for the moment, that's all that matters to me!
"Hey! Presea!" I shot up the stairs and surprised her I could tell, 'cuz she spun around quickly, her eyes widened. I just smiled, and noticed it took her a long time to respond.
"...oh! Lloyd! It is good to see you..." Presea looked really happy to see me! Her beautiful cerulean eyes were bright and she didn't seem tired at all; she must have had a really good day so far, because I don't think I've ever seen her this happy.
"You too! Um, I just thought it'd be nice to talk, since I haven't really got a chance to in these last few chaotic days..." I performed my usual uneasy 'arm behind the head' motion to try and make my nervousness a bit less..uh..embarrassing, but it didn't work so hot.
"I would like that...the past 48 hours have indeed impacted each of us on various levels in varying degrees..."
"Yeah, that's for sure." I agreed. "It's nice to get a chance to relax for once though!"
"Yes..." Presea started. She paused for a moment. "Your place...is beautiful...it reminds me..of Ozette..." She looked at me as she gazed out at the humongous trees, almost all of them healthy and strong.
"Yeah..now that you mention it, it's definitely got the same kind of atmosphere; all this woodland and peaceful setting...Oh, I'm sorry if it makes you sad...because of what happened to Ozette..." I was worried the memory Presea was thinking of would make her sad.
"No...it makes me happy...I know there are still places within the universe that retain a similar sense of beauty and...peace...as you said." I paused, waiting for the beautiful girl to continue. "...Lloyd...I'm sorry I have been so...enclosed..within myself. I...I am beginning to learn how to communicate in a context distant from my...heartless droning..." She flinched as she spoke, and I could see water collecting in her eyes. This wasn't good..she had no reason to apologize for this!
"Presea..." I gently approached her and propped my hands on her shoulders gripping her softly. "You have nothing to apologize for...all those terrible people who we've had to face; the pope, Vharley, Rodyle...THEY are the ones to blame. I think it's awesome that you've learned to express yourself this quickly...you've barely even been able to...be yourself...and look how far you've come already!" Presea's tear stained face still looked beautiful as she slowly tilted her head upwards to meet my gaze.
"But...I..."
"Presea, you're a wonderful person...you know that? You're smarter than anyone here, and now you're free to act how you want, feel what you want...you have so much potential!" She smiled at me warmly, her eyes showing lots of things...relief, joy, gratefulness, and..something I wasn't too sure of at first. But then...

Title: "Wild Rose" -Her emotions are taking over, flooding over her previous judgements and hesitations; trying to stop them would be as futile a task as there has ever been. (Increases Strength, Intelligence, and HP)
I jumped into Lloyd, wrapping my trembling arms around his neck. I have never felt this...emotion, in such a magnitude. I looked into his eyes which were, as I had began to expect, wide with shock. He was so wonderful to me...and not for the sole reason of restoring my time and lost His words were so positive, so comforting...there is no statistic that can accommodate for what my..heart..is telling me. Leaning in, yearning his touch, I planted my lips on his, almost missing in my haste, but savoring the..amazing taste..as I could feel Lloyd was responding in a similar form. Why are my eyes...closing...as I kiss him? But yet...all my other senses are heightened...it feels so...magical. I could feel my legs wrapping around his waist as I clung to his powerful exterior, his previous unbalance steadying at a fast rate, before he was able to stand stationary with me. More emotions..began taking over me...my kiss lost its prior innocence, as my tongue began to prod its way into Lloyd's mouth. It felt so right... I wanted this...so much...after a moment and a split second gasp of surprise, I felt his lips part to let my tongue enter his mouth, where his joined mine in nervous...passion...I believe that's the right term...
We paused to reclaim a portion of lost oxygen. I could feel myself breathing heavily. My face was beginning to perspire, and Lloyd exhibited almost identical properties as well.
"Presea...are you sure you wanted to...mmmm..." I kissed him again, forcing my lips onto his, but not to such an extent that I would lose all form of control.
"Lloyd...It's been...such a long time in silence...I want to make up..for my lost time.." I barely managed to get the relatively simple words out in my lust for more passion.
"Lets go somewhere more private...that is..if you want to..." Lloyd suggested. I had forgotten about the presence of our companions. We were in extreme proximity to the whole party, and I immediately feared that our actions must have woken them. In a few moments of silence though, I could hear nothing from downstairs. I nodded enthusiastically to Lloyd and let go of him..for the moment. I held his hand as he led me downstairs.
Just before we vacated the premises, laughing in excitement, I saw... Genis...curled up on the floor, smiling with absolute serenity on his face...I had no time to finish my thought on this as we were soon out the door, within nature's grand outdoors. Lloyd lead the way to a clearing in the woods approximately 300 yards south of Dirk's residence. We settled, both of us stationary, on our knees, and we resumed kissing. I felt the rush of hormonal impulses...hearing our tongues...slurp..and our lips..smack...the feeling invigorated me even more. I had waited so long for a moment like this...my nipples became hardened, pressing firmly against my grey vest, and I could feel my sex growing moist and warm...I needed his touch...After breaking the kiss, gasping slightly to reclaim my breath, I spoke.
"Lloyd...touch me...please..." My small frame shuddered with pleasure even as I finished this sentence.
"Presea..are you sur..." I reduced his speech abruptly, grabbing his soft hands as he moved closer to me. I led them up my vest, letting him explore my body...
As he began fondling my developing breasts, I moaned for him...softly, my head tilted backwards as the exquisite pleasure he produced surged through me... This is love...I thought...I gasped again as he circled my erect nipples with his dextrous fingers.
"Yes...Lloyd...ohhh..." I attempted to provide more encouragement, though none was necessary at this juncture. I laid down on the soft grass, with my arms raised posteriorly behind my head. Lloyd looked at my eyes for reassurance, and I simply nodded. But as he began to remove my clothing...I felt something else.. Argh..my mind...
"It's so..beautiful...just like..."
No...I cannot let that stop this moment..it is so magical. Lloyd had undone my belt and was progressing to slide my matching grey skirt down, as we had already removed our shoes...
"Just like...you..."
"I've waited so long for moments like this..."
"I'm just glad it's happening..."
"Ah!" I screamed out in surprise, perhaps a bit too loudly.
"Presea...are you ok?" Lloyd stopped instantly. And I sat up, looking at him with an expression of apology and regret...this wasn't fair to Lloyd...but...
"I...I'm sorry Lloyd...I cannot do this..." I started as I put on my skirt and fastened the belt.
"Well...it's O.K. Presea..I mean, we were going pretty fast.." I couldn't tell him further details regarding this.
"I'm going..to sleep.." I stated dully, monotone corrupting the mood. "I'm sorry Lloyd...good night..." I turned for the house, not sure whether what I did was right, nor was I sure if the night had indeed ended...

I felt too...embarrassed...I guess, to follow close by Presea as she made her way back. I couldn't understand it...a simple "ah!" and she reverted almost back to when I first met her...that really really hurt... What the hell did I do? Surely nothing as bad as Zelos or someone...
Well, maybe she was just having second thoughts...she's been through a lot, and...maybe the whole age difference thing is more than I thought it was...or..something...I just don't know. I can't figure it out. I saw her go up to the terrace, and decided not to bother her; there wasn't anything I could say right now that would get her talking.
I forced myself to try and sleep, taking comfort on the carpet near Dad's forging fire. That heat always used to make me feel secure and well enough to sleep, but experiencing Presea just...rejecting me..like that...it hurt...a lot. I finally closed off my thoughts and was able to sleep, but it wasn't full of pleasant dreams.

Title: "Hormonal Crusader"- As mature as one claims to be, desires of intimacy cannot be set aside every time. The title for the conflicted youth who is juggling desire and courtesy.
"Ah! Wha—" My speech was cut short as a pair of the most beautiful fingers touched my lips, silencing me. I realized immediately it still must be night. The end strands of pink hair that had fallen on my head lead towards Presea's beautiful face looking at me. In the darkness of the house I couldn't very well tell what her mood was.
"Genis...would you..come outside with me?" Presea asked, no monotone at all present in her voice. Only pure...innocence.
"Ah..s-sure..Presea...what's up?" I tried to remain calm, as she gently led me out of the house, her hand in mine.
"I need to..know something." Presea started. I began to put myself in the 'mature, knowledgeable' mode, as I prepared for a question regarding her emotions, or something to that effect. That's probably why I was even more surprised then I should've been when she lunged into me, locking her slender arms around my neck and attacking my lips with her own beautiful pink pair.
"Mmmm..." I moaned as I drank in her sweetness, closing my eyes just after Presea herself did. I saw her face absolutely free of stress, or confliction. She seemed...to really want this.
"..wow! Um..do you just keep doing this...or should you risk it and–"
My conscience was answered as Presea began probing my lips with her tongue. She seemed really good at this! For her first time..she was incredible..wait..what the hell do I mean...this is MY first time too...mmm...I accepted her tongue with generosity and savored it. She was so wonderful, her lips and tongue moist, her hands stroking my neck gently making the moment that much more engaging.
"I was correct...you...love me...too.." Presea said with a unique tone...but not quite one of complete happiness...
"Genis...let us go near the bridge...it is so beautiful there...please..." Presea had an urgency in her voice that my emotion matched without me saying anything. I only managed to nod as we both dashed for the bridge, laughing while kissing every few seconds.
I couldn't believe it. Everything I've been dreaming about and thinking about since I've met this girl is happening. Oh wow I'd be lying if I said I can't wait to take this further...she's got such a beautiful body..
This thought overwhelmed me as we reached the bridge. French kissing each other more and more, my hands began acting on their own. Before I could stop them they were up Presea's vest. Our passion ignited as I felt her hands reach down to assist mine; she helped me feel her up...I started at her flat stomach..going up..and my erection took another leap as I found her luscious breasts. Still developing, but prominent on her nonetheless, I fondled them with no restraint.
"Genis...yes...ohhh touch me..please...do it..." I massaged her tits, gently pinching her pointy nipples as I felt her body shake every time I passed over them. She continued to help my hands fondle her perfect chest, then led me down to the bottom of her vest. I understood immediately and pulled off her vest as she held her arms up.
"Mmm..." we kissed again, I couldn't restrain anything as I felt my young manhood on her leg, and her beautiful breasts on my thin cloak...
PRESEA COMBATIR
Title: "Wild Rose..."
"Mmm..." This passion is wonderful...I never knew that such...forbidden...acts could be so..satisfying. Lloyd, I'm sorry but...My memories of Genis have driven me to this point...and this time..I do not intend to stop..
I knelt down gingerly on my knees...wanting to take this subsequent step...more than anything. Genis' attention was directed solely at my act, as I worked loose the strings that upheld his shorts, while he hastily removed his top revealing his average-built chest. I have known about sex...for...a longer duration than most of my companions..I must admit...but...this is my first experience...and I know I will not regret this. Innocence, wonder...unrestrained passion...Genis is everything I..could not experience in my teenage years, and this will help make up for my lost time...I know it will..
I cautiously worked free Genis' shorts and undergarments in one smooth motion...I felt seductive...raging with hormones, as I relished Genis' expression. Gazing up at him, his eyes were closed; his respiration held to spastic inhales and exhales. I intended to quicken those breaths even more so...cautious, admittedly timidly, I grasped his young shaft. Feeling his soft flesh put my hormones in an even greater state of imbalance as my tongue began salivating. Restraining that for the instant, I began to stroke him...meticulously, with great patience I slid my warm fingers up and down his soft manhood.
"Oohh...Presea...don't ss-s-stopp...please.." I grinned as the small mage obviously was enjoying this process at a similar level as I was. I began stoking him faster, enclosing my fingers in a gentle fist around his penis, pumping him, but never too hard. He was too fragile, too dear to me for me to ever risk incurring even the slightest bit of physical discomfort. As I predicted, Genis' breath quickened, his mouth open, relishing the sensations.
Passion enveloped me...I was helpless to resist its influence. Replacing my fingers with my mouth, I took in his whole shaft in my mouth, closing my eyes in pleasure as my tongue caressed his smooth skin. An audible gasp vacated from Genis' mouth, and his manhood stiffened even further. I restrained a compulsion to chuckle as I resumed my alternating pumping practice on his penis, coating it with saliva and never wanting to stop.
"Presea..I-I...I can't hold it any longer..." Genis had lowered his left arm and was lovingly adding momentum to my actions, gently gripping the top of my head and moving it back and forth at a doable speed. I knew the imminence of orgasm was near, and began sucking him at a faster magnitude, wanting him to resonate in pleasure and scream out...I could not help it; it was my deepest desire to make him orgasm for me...
"PresEAAA! MMMmmm!" I let him explode, his sweet fluids filling my mouth before descending down the thorax...it felt wonderful..I absorbed everything Genis could muster, and lapped up his remaining sperm from the tip, my body trembling with expository emotions, which were multiplied by a factor of 5 after this phase.
"Presea...you are so...amazing..." Genis growled under his breath, overcome by the afterglow of his climax. I was about to respond when he kneeled down with me, kissed my forehead, and stated plainly, "Now it's your turn." I felt even stronger surges of teenage passion surge through me as I felt my sex, moist and urging for attention. I had not fathomed how effectively this urge would eventually be satisfied...
GENIS SAGE
Title: "Cloud Nine" -His most erotic desires are being fulfilled in a short duration; the love he's desired for so long has been realized. The title for one who is at another level of happiness.
(Increaes HP and strength)
I can't believe this is happening...and I had pinched myself several times during that blissful blowjob to make sure it wasn't a dream...I had no idea it felt this good. Presea...I'm more in love with you than ever...
"Now it's your turn..." I wrapped my arms around her, and gently laid my beautiful flower onto the grass, my form hovering above her. I leaned down to kiss her face, and she obliged happily, kissing back, deeply, innocently...then we let passion take over us once again, letting our tongues battle and tumble. I kept going down...down her neck, making sure not to damage her key crest, then to her perfect breasts; I couldn't help it; I was hornier than I'd ever been, and I loved these nipples so much. I took one of Presea soft mounds into my mouth, licking her again and producing those same moans of pleasure from her small mouth. I felt her gentle hand on my head urging me on, much as I had done while she was pleasuring me. I massaged her other breast with my hand, stroking her perky nipple, then switched, making her moan louder, grasping my head and playing with my hair.
"This is dirty...its hot..and I'm loving every second of it.." My conscience was greedy and wanted more. I was in no position to argue against it. I picked up the pace, undoing her belt, and rather clumsily, peeled off the rest of her attire, giving me a perfect view of her beautiful young body, her features and mounds reflecting the moonlight, her precious eyes wild with desire and ecstatic pleasure. She had no underwear...her prize was there for me to enjoy..just me...oh damn this is good...I shut up my thoughts and gently grasped her legs, bringing her beautiful pussy to my mouth.
"Genis...take me...my body is..yours...please..it would feel so wonderful" Presea's voice was filled with certainty and I knew I could go further...but I would not go too fast..she is too fragile, just like me..despite her strength..Presea's been hurt too much to have anything else done wrong to her...I will make this perfect for her...
I rubbed her clit slowly, and he gasped instantaneously as I began. Long drawn out moans accompanied me pleasuring her beautiful sex; I slowly inserted a finger, and finding no reluctant motions from Presea, began stroking her, in and out, in and out, making her moan with each motion. I replaced my fingers with my tongue eventually, surprising myself at my own boldness, and I could feel her slender fingers on the back on my head urging me to go further into her as I fed on her sopping wet pussy. Moans turned into pleasure filled screams as I went faster, slurping her everywhere.
"Aahh! Genis! Keep going! Oh yes...! please! Oooh!" I'd heard that after an orgasm, a guy often has to wait quite a while to recharge, but my manhood was throbbing once again. I licked her out wildly for minutes at a time, before one last scream yielded a surge of sweet juices from Presea's sex. We both laid on the grass for a few moments afterwards, both of us dirty with our own sex fluids on each other...and then, that beautiful girl surprised me yet again. She jumped onto me, playfully rolling with me in the grass and eventually pinned me down, her naked body on top of mine with my hands around her perfect curved bottom.
"You are...magnificent..Genis...your skills are..." I waited for her to finish. "Haha...excuse me...I am...speechless..." I cut her off anyway, kissing her again. That was the most wonderful feeling ever. Feeling her forcefully pressing her lips against mine, knowing she wanted this as much as me. She broke it quickly though, before whispering into my ear...
"I want you inside of me..."
I stared at her, eyes wide open. I was about to ask her if she was sure, but she read my mind, nodding slowly, and gradually began to sit up. I gripped the sides of her torso gently as she lowered herself onto me...before reaching that point of expected resistance. And, as I thought would be the case, I was bordering on chickening out; I didn't want to hurt her...I couldn't bear to see her in any more pain, despite how much she wanted this. She leaned down and kissed me though, and we both smiled at each other, before she forcefully went down on me, losing her virginity to me in a mere second.
I couldn't see her face, it was bowed down near her chest. I gently caressed her cheek with my left hand, and a single teardrop touched my index finger, as I cursed myself in my mind for making her shed tears of pain. We seemed to freeze for a few moments; I..I wasn't sure what exactly to do. Then, she held her head up...and smiled at me. The most perfect smile that I could never get tired of seeing. As we started to move together, I concluded that this was and forever will be the best night of my life...

Title: "Fully Bloomed" -She has given herself to one she cares about deeply; the passion involved mixes with genuine love to complete her. (Increases everything... :))
The feeling was most definitely painful...but, in retrospect; It felt like the right course of action; and I can now say this with more confidence as I began feeling that same pain transform into waves of erotic pleasure flooding through my small body. Elevating up, then back down, upon Genis, I began to moan again; there was no halting the sounds from escaping my mouth; our pace increased as I could feel Genis thrusting into my sex at a geometrically increasing rate. His technique seems admirable for a young man of only 12.7 years...although I would be being ignorant at that comment, as this is my first time as well...ohh! It was incredibly difficult to think; I was absorbed in this physical pleasure. Up and down on his shaft, both of us breathing extremely quickly, perspiration seeping rapidly through our pores. I initiated fondling my own breasts, both of them heaving with my movements. They had missed the gentle motions of Genis' tongue, my nipples were still at peak erectness, sweat rolling down the tips of them as I continued this wonderful intercourse. I let my arms fall back on Genis' legs, exerting force upon them as he thrust upwards into me allowing me to brace myself. I felt a secondary orgasm building up within me; I remember myself screaming Genis' name as I came upon the brink of climax. Genis did the same, moaning my name, and, as I had hoped, our bodies came together in a blissful harmony of moaning; I felt his seed penetrate me as I climaxed, flooding over his manhood with my own fluids. Although a scant amount of blood was present, the ending of the intercourse could not have been any better. I fell on top of him, feeling him still inside me, and we embraced each other, wrapping appendages around our perimeters to become even more complete...
"Thank you...Presea..." Genis kissed my forehead.
"No..thank you, Genis. I could not have had my first time with such grandeur..had I not met you..."
"The same goes for me, Presea...I...I really love you..."
I gasped. I hadn't realized that we hadn't said those words before coming together. The phrase "better late than never" became an appropriate one for me to relate to at this time.
"I..." I stopped...why? What...what variables left could there be to suggest otherwise? I love Genis...I...have to! His eyes I could see filling with worry... "I love you too..." I kissed him again, on the lips, and saw his eyes revert back to their normal innocence... We laid together, embracing our warm bodies, our minds no doubt flooding with emotions; relief, uncertainty, joy, and...for me...something unpleasant..I'm afraid to think of what it might be...
"We..should return to Dirk's house..." I said after a long, pleasant embrace with the little sorcerer.
"O.K..." We cleansed our exteriors at the stream beforehand, then carefully dressed ourselves, both of us grinning...with admittedly guilty pleasure, at what had transpired. We both glanced around, secretly terrified of finding someone nearby who had witnessed any one part of our actions, but, finding no one, we stealthily made our way northward to the Irving residence...
We scanned the perimeter, finding no trace of anyone, then made our way to the door. I remember releasing Genis hand in a panic, as the door opened for us, Lloyd blocking the only entrance. Anger was indeed present in his eyes, but it looked feeble and unimpressive when seeing it combined with the extreme hurt that swirled viciously within them, piercing through my heart...
-To be continued...?
