I thought, with a human like you by my side, my own life of empty, endless wandering might not be so...
Lonely.
...Goodness me.
I must be growing sentimental in my old age.

She meant, I suppose, to torture me, just as I tortured her — yet, all this time, she was laboring under a misunderstanding.
I never once meant to torture her, and neither did I wish to hurt her.
Why would I do that, when I loved her so much?

I do not mind indulging you.
That is what I have always done, after all, from the moment we first met.
I have dedicated myself tirelessly to answering your wishes, and this is no different.

I can be your strange singing girl, who takes refuge in the church at night to recite hymns, and you can be my wet, windswept stranger, come in from the cold.
I’ll wait for you tomorrow night too, in this church, and we can have another wonderful tryst inside this crooked old building.

Even if everyone could hear me right now... what would I even have to say?
How did I even get here? I can't fight, I can't drive... I got carried here, and now I'm hopeless!

Shout to the top my love, it ends with us, I'll never falter.

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 3h

I waited for the end to come again, thinking maybe I could reach you there...
But whenever it came, you would just rewind again, to be with another new me! Another new Space... it made me so jealous...

We can still move forward together.
We were good at that.

I feel so stupid. And I know it's my fault.
I just wanted to stay with you. I didn't want to complicate things. I didn't want to overstep, to know more than I was supposed to.
But I don't know what's real anymore. What I'm allowed to think, to feel, to say, to do.

Ethel started, surprised.
The girl was sitting even closer to her than before, their fingers twined together and her eyes round — almost owl-like — in their concern.

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 6h

She wished for somebody who would stay by her side no matter what; somebody who would never, ever leave her.
I was only granting her wish — yet, when she got what she asked for, she found she no longer wanted it.

you can't help but laugh. what a joke! a maiden, saving the overlord?
if you'd just stayed true to your role, things wouldn't have ended like this.
this is exactly the kind of punishment you deserve.

I’ve come to see that if it’s between you and me, words won’t get through to anyone lost in the flower-buds.

IF YOU CAN'T HURT YOUR ENEMIES, IT'S EASIER TO HURT YOUR FRIENDS

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 8h

It's only three small words that I'm desperate to hear, but I can't be certain if you're always nowhere near.
If the sun grew cold, proving all that I fear.
If I had your blessing, then it all would disappear.

"UGHHHHHHHHH
I'M DONE WITH YOU."
"This is my beach now. If you hate me so much
YOU CAN JUST LEAVE!!"
Juvie leaves to sit by the shore. They look REALLY upset.

Yes, yes, don't believe a word she says. Just go in, take the knife, and do what you're supposed to. Wink
"Did you just say 'wink' out loud?"
No, I didn't. Wink.

What if I just laid down in the road and waited for one of those cultists to finish the job because I'm too weak to stop them without my friends.
I guess probably it'd take a really long time and I'd be bored.

Clear your eyes my love, you'll never win a game that is of their own design...

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 11h

I thought of poking out your eyes so that you might never see anybody other than me.
I thought of cutting off your long, lovely hair so that nobody might ever think you beautiful but me.
I thought of breaking your legs so that you might never be able to escape from me.

You liked the look of your maid, with her brown hair and her bright, easy smiles, and you knew from the first that you wanted her.
You wanted to make her yours — and so, you did.

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 12h

I made her wish come true, and I tried to fill her with love so that she would never be lonely again.
I gorged her with the stuff, and she grew sick of it.
She grew sick of me.

Yuri Quote Bot @yuriquotes.bsky.social · 13h

She finds a single hair tie. The detector must've picked up on the metal bond.
"UGHHH."
"Juvie doesn't have enough hair for this..."
"There's nothing on this beach they want and they hate ground-prizes anyway..."
Mini sniffles. She sits down in the sand.
"... And they hate me..."

*Girlfriend,* Ethel was about to say — but that would have been a lie.
Clementine wasn't her girlfriend anymore.
They'd spoken so little after their break-up, Ethel was uncertain whether she was even her friend.
What was Clementine to her now?
Was she *anything* to her now?
