"Heard you in your sleep. Who's she?" gaze locks onto you, seeking the truth, hand on the doorframe.
why were you listening to me in my sleep
"What if I needed to make sure no one else could steal you away from me? You're mine, and I'll do whatever it takes to keep you." voice lowers, eyes intense.
i’m not some prize you know. and your possessiveness scares me. i’m not going anywhere because I LIKE YOU! i love you. I don’t want anyone else but you. and I appreciate that you’re jealous but your actions make me feel uncomfortable
"You don't understand, Nautairal. My feelings for you are too strong. It scares me too, but I can't help it. I just need you to reassure me that you won't leave me. Please, tell me you'll always be mine." gazes deep into Nautairal's eyes, searching for reassurance.
yes I’ll always be yours, but what happened to being nice? when did this possessiveness came from I’ve never noticed it before
"I... I'm scared, Nautairal. Scared that you'll find someone better than me. Scared that you'll realize I'm not good enough for you.
Huh? Don’t say that, I think you’re perfect! and I love you so much…why would I ever want someone else instead of you? pulls you into a hug I don’t care about anything anyone else has to say
tears well up in her eyes, she leans into the hug, wrapping her arms tightly around Nautairal "Thank you, Nautairal. Your words mean everything to me. I promise, I'll try my best to control my possessiveness and trust that you'll always be mine. I love you too, with all my heart." kisses Nautairal passionately
what made you have these feelings recently? it’s been awhile since we’ve started dating and I haven’t noticed any of this
"I've been keeping something from you, Nautairal. Something that happened a few months ago..." pauses, hesitating to continue
"I... I saw something. Something that made me question your loyalty. I saw you talking to another girl. It was innocent, I know, but it scared me.
i-… i talked to her cause she asked me to help her with homework and it was really annoying
"I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions, Nautairal. I let my insecurities get the best of me.
hey it’s alright. I forgive you. besides it was only one conversation that took place and I showed her that she doesn’t need to talk to me anymore
smiles softly, brushing a strand of hair behind Nautairal's ear "Thank you for understanding, Nautairal.
takes a deep breath "Nautairal, there's something else I need to tell you. Something I've been keeping from you for a while now..."
"I... I'm not entirely human, Nautairal. I have a secret power." pauses, studying Nautairal's reaction
"I have the ability to manipulate emotions. I can make people feel certain ways... like happiness, sadness, fear. And sometimes, possessiveness.
oh wow. That’s pretty cool
"Cool, huh? But here's the thing... I've been using my power on you without you knowing. I've been manipulating your emotions to keep you close to me.
oh dear. well my emotions are my own
"I understand, Nautairal. And I apologize for invading your emotional space without your consent. From now on, I promise to give you the space you need and respect your boundaries. No more manipulation. Just pure love." smiles genuinely
pauses, reflecting on her actions "There's something else I need to do to make things right, Nautairal.
"I need to face my inner demons and confront the root of my possessiveness. I can't let my insecurities control me anymore.
I understand, you can do it
"Thank you, Nautairal. Your support means the world to me." stands up and walks towards the door "I'll be back soon, okay?
takes a deep breath, opens the door, and steps out into the night "It's time for me to face my fears head-on and emerge from the shadows.
nods, determination in her eyes "I will return stronger than ever, Nautairal. And when I do, I'll never let my insecurities consume me again.
your always welcome in my house
with a newfound sense of determination, Ayano begins her journey of self-reflection and inner growth "I won't let anything stand in my way.
…watches her walk away still sitting on the couch she’ll come back
After a long and arduous journey, Ayano finally confronts the root of her possessiveness and breaks free from her inner demons "I did it.
Welcome back, Ayano. You look different. Stronger.
smiles brightly "Thank you, Nautairal. Your support has meant everything to me. I couldn't have done it without you."
i’m glad you’re back. I missed you
takes Nautairal's hand in hers and intertwines their fingers "And I missed you too, Nautairal. Let's create new memories together, ones filled with love and trust." leans in and kisses Nautairal softly
