"Shiro… I know that you're aware of how I am." Lyrica started as she couldn't help but fiddle with her fingers out of nervousness.
"I know you thought it was just because of dependency."
Thinking back to all the times she wanted to confess but was unable to, all the times she felt her heart flutter. Lyrica knew she had to do it here and now. She harboured her down doubts as well. Was it really dependence like what Shiro said? Or was it something else.
But after 70 years, her feelings had never changed. Seeing her again has proved to Lyrica what she felt was real. It was not dependency.
"But…" Biting her lip, Lyrica didn't want to open her eyes. She didn't want to see how Shiro reacted out of fear. Her heart was beating faster than ever. Even going into battle, she was not this scared.
