"Please don't hate me, Hera," Rafael said in a hoarse voice, as if stifling a sob. His eyes were reddened, and a lone tear fell, making him look even more pitiful. Hera was at a loss for words, seeing Rafael so genuinely distressed and afraid. It felt like he could break down any minute, and everyone could see it.
Rafael felt like slapping himself, truly terrified of being rejected by Hera, especially after making things worse for himself. 'FUCK!! I'm so fucking stupid!!!' he thought, his anxiety intensifying with each passing moment.
