Summary:

"Will I regret this?"
———
I walked towards Selene, who's now laying on the ground, but definitely not dead yet. She looked up at me with the remaining energy she has, and now I could fully see what I have done to her.
———
"Hey!"

"Huh...?"

"I'm Selene, Selene Navi! You?"

...

"I'm....Alicia."

"Woah! Alicia?! That's such a cute name! I love it...!"

"Pfft- Not any better than the surname Navi, y'know?"

"Ah-! U-uh....ehehe...~"
———
So many scars....so many stab wounds...so many bullet wounds...

Huh...?
———
"Have you ever seen a ball this big?"

"Alicia, we're literally on call right now. What kind of ball are you talking about?"

"...You think I'm talking about a man's balls? Pfft- Why? You wanna see a man's balls?"

"W-WHAT THE FUCK, ALICIA?!"

"Ahahahahaha!!!"
———
I....I'm....What...?

What....What have I done...?
———
"Alicia?"

"Yeah~?"

"I like you."

"...Huh? You mean as like, a friend? 'Cause if yeah, then I like you too--!"

"No, no, I like you as...more than a friend. I love you, Alicia.....romantically, at least."
———
What the...?

I could hear coughs from Selene.

Oh....Oh no.
———
"Do you think I'm a burden?"

"What? Cia....Why would I see you as a burden? You're the most special girl to me!"

"....Really?"

"Really."

"Really, really?!"

"Really, really!!"
———
She....She's suffering....

Because of me.
———
"I love you, Cia. I always will!"
———
"...Alicia, I can see you panicking, y'know?"

Shit.

I looked back towards Selene, who looked up at me back. She looks like a mess.....I can't believe I really went through with this.

"Shut up. I....I'm not panicking over you."

"Are you sure about that?"

...

I was hesitant to answer that question, but I only groaned. "Whatever. You're nothing to me anymore, as I've said before." I snapped my fingers, summoning a big claymore that's designed to have a very....fiery vibe to it.

I...don't know if I should do this or not.

"Heh, y'know, Cia.....you changed a lot--" Selene was cut off by her own coughs, before continuing. "Like...a lot.....too much, actually."

"What happened to the old Alicia? The one who'd joke around with me and try to cheer me up whenever I'm sad? How...How is she replaced with...with a much colder version...of her...?"

I froze to that question.

The old me being replaced by the current me...?

"What the....What nonsense are you speaking of?!" I aimed the claymore at her no matter how heavy it is. Selene....she's suffering from her wounds and a literal stab wound. What if...

What if I end her misery here?

...

Will I regret this?

"Nonsense...? Cia....Don't you realize how much you've changed....no matter how many timelines we've been through....?"

"Shut up!"

Selene only let out a chuckle, before letting out a few coughs.

"If you're really gonna kill me with that thing right now, then...."

I lift up the claymore, ready to stab her with it and end it all for her. But then she weakly smiles at me, and that's where I hesitate.

"Please do remember that..."

...

"...I love you, Cia. I always will...!"

...

I then gripped the claymore tightly and glared down at her coldly. But in the end, I could feel myself tear up from just that sentence.

I've heard it long ago, but that was long ago.

I...I have to...I have to do this. For Fukushu's sake, for revenge's sake.

I closed my eyes for a bit, letting the tears flow just to show you how much I loved you, before opening them again.

"Goodbye." I say to you with tearful eyes.

And in the end, Selene's gone for good.
