-----------------
Kairos had always loved Emelithil; the way she chose her words like a spider weaving its web, the way she'd always been so stubborn and competitive-- but never enough to come off us ignorant or naive. Even though they had always fought for something different, he never could have imagined just how far they would drift apart. There was no way he could ever be prepared for what he was about to do to her though.
What he did was unthinkable, impossible even. He spent every day by her side after he saved her life, tending to her injuries during her coma, while dealing with the guilt of it all being his, and only his fault. Desperately, he tries to find forgiveness and reconnect with his best friend and crush, but her betrayal burns Fire Red.
