Niccolo I sigh. It's been a long day. Though betrayal is nothing new, it's still not a good feeling. I can't imagine how Manon most feel. It's amazing, how she's intergrated into my thoughts now.

Lives wasted. Friends murdered. That's why I've stopped making friends. I have no one but Manon. Speaking of which, I should get home to her. I need her right now. We need each other.

I have to pick something
