If Snow was a traitor. If Noel was an assassin. And if Serah loved them both.

I pin her against the cold, concrete wall. My cold, sharp blade against her throat. She is now weaponless, but the dagger-like glare she has in her bright violet eyes is enough to kill me. Still, I hold firm my ground. The way I couldn't when I had first met her. That night has haunted me in my dreams since.
"You killed my boyfriend," she spat. "I will not let you get away with it."
"And what can you do, Serah?" I retort. "Kill me. And they will kill you. Run away, and still, they will kill you."
All I can think about, at the moment, is that morning when I had woken up without her in my arms. For a moment, I thought I could finally hold on to her forever. I did, in a way, the night before. But what was that, really? To her, it was probably just comfort sex – I had killed her traitor of a fiancée, and her own friends' celebration had justified my deed. But to me, last night was much more than any or those two reasons combined. She had chosen to give herself to me instead of killing me right then and there, in spite of it all. And I have always wanted to save her the way she had with me. So I tell her, "Run."
The once strong stare in her eyes softens, but she does not say a word.
"Get out of here." I bring my mouth close to hers, tempting her, testing her to see how firm her resolve was – if she would stay with me instead or leave. If I myself had the strength to let her go.
I feel her lips inching slowly to mine, but with palpable reluctance. I whisper, "Don't let me find you. Ever." And she refrains from leaning in any further. And I watch her escape.
