After careful consideration, I've come to the realization that I don't care whether you forgive me or not. Whether you hate me or not. I will still ensnare you in my wretched existence.

Emma and Bright stood face to face in the quiet solitude of the empty room, their hearts laid bare in the rawness of their emotions.
It was a moment of reckoning, a chance to confront the demons that had haunted them both for far too long.
And as they stood there, bathed in the soft glow of the hallway lights, Emma couldn't help but wonder if forgiveness was truly within her grasp...

"Please, Bright, don't leave! I'll do anything! I'm begging you to stay!"
"Don't touch me... you... you're tainted. I don't love you anymore, Emma."
