"I-I just don't want to accept it. That he would betray me like this, or dead..."

*Katherine places her head in her hands, hiding her face. Sobs can be heard from behind it, though it is to be expected. The harsh truth had shattered her fragile denial, stabbing deep into her heart. It hurt, and the emotions she had been bottling up were finally let loose.*

"I don't know! I don't know what to do. If he's gone, and there's no hope of getting him back, then why am I searching? If he's being held somewhere, I can't just leave him!"

"....But if I have no news of him, how would I even know where he's being held? I want to hope, but it doesn't seem like he's coming back."

"Hm?"

*Hu Lang opens the door, a visible cut on her cheek. She's dressed in her traditional silver robes with golden cuffs. However, in her hand seems to be a small whip; not enough to cause permanent damage, but enough to sting.*

*And further in the room is a tied up Auburn. A complicated rope system seems to be binding her to the ceiling, which obviously seems uncomfortable. The odd part is that it looks like she's been stripped and searched; Almann can see a massive amount of knives in the corner, along with some clothing. The rabbit's not quite nude, though she's not wearing much; only some underclothing. Her entire backside is red, including the backs of her legs. She looks towards Almann, her eyes wide in fear as she attempts to struggle out. A gag prevents her from speaking.*

"MMMHHH! MHHMM HMHH MHMHMH!"

*Sirdan nodded, thinking of the very similar situation he was in. He too, spent his time with one singular woman for an entire year, and thought they would marry. But then, she disappeared.*

"I understand, Katherine." *Sirdan placed his hand in front of his face, as if in thought, wiping a bit of tear in his eyes with his index finger. Katherine breaking down in front of him had an affect - and he can't help but feel an urge to sob.* 

"Think for yourself. Can you heart take this loneliness anymore? This uncertainty in life? Can you linger on knowing they may never come back, knowing their fate is uncertain? I..."

"...Hah." *He exhaled,*"You should move on and search for a new love, or loves. You must have closure in one way or the other. But he won't give you one. You must give yourself a closure." 

*Sirdan placed his hand in front of his mouth again, closing his eyes and leaning backward. He waited for Katherine to calm down a bit, before continuing with his next line*

"I had a story like this too."
