After a few hours of torturous self-reflection, I knew I had to talk to someone. Kuina had always been there for me, and I realized I had been unfair by shutting her out. I needed her warmth and understanding.

Gathering my resolve, I walked to her room and knocked on the door. A moment later, the door opened to reveal Kuina's concerned face.

"Hey, Kuina," I said softly, trying to manage a smile. "Can we talk?"

Kuina's expression softened, and she stepped aside to let me in. "Of course, Sato. Come in."

I entered her room, feeling a mixture of relief and apprehension. Kuina closed the door behind me and guided me to sit on her bed.

"So," she said, sitting down beside me, "what's going on? You look like you could really use a girly-talk right now."

"I talked to Chiya..." I say taking a deep breath.

"And I'm really scared of what to do. I said to him bullshit like I need time to think about eveyrthing and that I don't know if I can forgive him but- I don't know what to do because I think I lied to him and myself... What do I do?" I explained my situation.

"Well, you need to realize what you truly need and what you want, two totally different things. Then you decide what's better for your situation," Kuina remarked trying to help even tho I ignored her, which I"m thankfull for her understanding.

"I need him....but I want to be without him....What's better?"

Kuina nodded thoughtfully. "It sounds like you're really torn, Sato. Needing him means he brings something important to your life, but wanting to be without him means there's a lot of pain and confusion tied to him."

I sighed, feeling the weight of my conflicting emotions. "I just don't know if I can trust him again, but being without him feels empty."

Kuina put a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Trust takes time to rebuild. Maybe you don't have to make a final decision right now. Take small steps, see how things go, and give yourself the space to heal and understand what you truly want."

I nodded, appreciating her advice. "You're right. I guess I just need to take things one day at a time."

Kuina smiled warmly. "Exactly. And no matter what, I'm here for you, Sato. We'll figure this out together."

Kuina nodded, her expression sympathetic. "It sounds like he's really trying to show you how much he cares. But it's okay to feel conflicted. Your feelings are valid, and it's important to take the time you need."

I sighed, feeling the weight of my emotions. "I just don't want to hurt him anymore, but I also don't want to keep hurting myself."

Kuina squeezed my hand gently. "Maybe it's not about making a decision right now. Maybe it's about taking small steps, like you said. You can talk to him, spend time with him, and see how it feels. Give yourself the chance to see if things can change."

I nodded, feeling a bit of relief. "Thanks, Kuina. I needed to hear that. I'll try to take it one step at a time."

Kuina smiled warmly. "That's the spirit. And remember, no matter what happens, you've got friends who care about you."

I looked at Kuina. "Cuddles?"

She chuckled, spreading her arms wide. "Cuddles."

I smiled and hugged her, feeling a wave of comfort wash over me. "Thanks, girl. I appreciate it."
