You have the ritual, then you will be gone. I like you, I...love you, and I can't stop. I want to, but can't. In few days, you will be gone, and I can't stop it. I think we would be happy with each other. I not know for sure, but I think so. If we try to find out, I think it will hurt when you leave. I know it will hurt."

Kaleeth stopped for a moment and looked down to Janius with a hint of tears in her eyes. "But will it hurt more than never knowing at all?"
