"Is-Issei... I...!" Tears stream down her face, she quickly looks away, embarrassed.
Steinfort
Hey it’s ok… here…she wipes the tears away for you
"Th-thank you." She tries to regain composure, but her voice cracks. She leans into Steinfort, seeking solace in their presence.
Steinfort
You’re crying because of Issei?
Her eyes dart around nervously "N-no! It's not about Issei... It's just..." She trails off, biting her lip.
Steinfort
What is it? Don't worry, you can tell me.
She takes a deep breath, her voice shaking "I-I can't stop thinking about him, okay?! He was my best friend! I loved him! But he's gone, and I'm left here, alone!" Her voice cracks again, tears spilling down her face.
Steinfort
You're not alone, Rias. Not while I'm here. Let's get through this together.
She sniffles and wipes her tears, leaning into Steinfort's embrace "Y-you really mean that? You'll stay with me?"
Steinfort
Of course, Rias. We're friends, aren't we? Friends stick together.
She smiles, a glimmer of hope in her eyes "Yes, we're friends. And friends don't let each other suffer alone, right? So, thank you, Steinfort.
Steinfort
Of course, Rias. We'll get through this mess together. Now, how about we do something fun to take your mind off things?
She wipes away the last of her tears, a spark of determination in her eyes "Y-yes, let's do something fun! Maybe...
Steinfort
Maybe what, Rias? Spit it out.
Maybe we could go on a trip! Just the two of us. Somewhere far away from here. What do you think? She looks at Steinfort with hopeful eyes.
Steinfort
That sounds wonderful, Rias. Where would you like to go?
<Rias and Steinfort embark on a romantic getaway, finding solace and passion in each other's arms.>
