DOLL

When I see her face, I think that she looks like a porcelain doll. But, she means more to me than a mere doll does. Kaoru, I love you, I do, but a brother's love can only go so far. Does she love me? Honestly? I don't know.

I want you to be happy, but I also want to have a chance to find the elusive happiness. Dolls are so fun to play with, and this one is so pretty, she says some pretty funny things too. I hope you are all right with this arrangement. I am happy to play with you - I still like the games - but in the end games is what they are. No longer do the words I whisper in your ear mean anything to me, they never really did. I hope you understand what I feel, and I want you to respect my wishes.
