"But I—I never really wanted to kill you. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..."
She finally broke down in tears, her body shaking as the weight of her actions crashed down on her.
Nnenna watched in silence, surprised. Maybe this girl wasn't all that bad after all. But at the same time, she couldn't ignore the fact that if she hadn't had the Love System, she would have drowned.
This girl's regrets, though they seemed sincere, wouldn't have changed anything if she had actually succeeded in dragging Nnenna down with her.
Still, humans made mistakes. And maybe, just maybe, this was a lesson she would never forget.
Nnenna sighed. "You're forgiven. But next time..." she narrowed her eyes. "Don't try something like this again. Or I will let you drown."
The girl flinched but nodded quickly.
A small smirk played on Nnenna's lips. She wasn't joking.
"What's your name?" Nnenna asked her. "I-I'm Lora," she replied still shaken.
