-Brant- Fuck. I have ruined everything. I have done the one thing I never wanted to do: hurt Emerald. What am I even good for? As she's leaving, I desperately want to stop her and tell her that I love her. But I know it won't matter. And I know I deserve this; I deserve her hatred, her anger, her indifference. How could I ruin the one most precious thing in my life, goddamnit! Unable to take the pain anymore, I drop down to my knees and cry. I have dissolved the only shot at happiness I had.
