Blackout West Point Castle First Floor Gin curses loudly. He yanks at the handcuffs. "Sia! I've said my peace! Let me go!" Gin flips the table and pulls the handcuff off the foot. "I am leaving!" "Wait! What is she talking about?" Raia steps towards Gin and demands answers. Gin doesn't answer and heads towards the door. There is a blinding soft golden light as Raia summons her shimmering gold sword-staff and pins the door shut. "Answer me!" Gin stays silent. Raia strides up and picks Gin up by his collar and pins him to the wall. "Out with it! What is so terrible that you can't tell me. [i]Me![/i] Gin shifts uncomfortably. "I love you." Gin says. Raia drops Gin and takes a step back. "Do you mean?" Raia starts to say but Gin keeps speaking. "I don't know when it happened. But all I think about is you. When I wake up. While I'm training. Escorting you on your patrols. As I lie in bed one room over just wishing to be next to you. I can't keep living like this! I can't keep doing this and pretending I'm okay!" Gin takes a few measured breathes. "Especially now that you have Sia. Listening you to the other night was torture. I want you to be happy. But there's no place for me in that happiness. At least, not that I could live with." Gin stands there. "Gin, I..." "Please. Don't... just, don't. I'm sorry I fell in love with you." Gin can't make eye contact. He turns to Sia. "Is that good enough?"
