One day, months later, Damian returned. Word spread like wildfire through the school that he had come back, but no one knew why. Lily and Rose tried to ignore the growing tension, but it was clear: Damian wanted to talk to them.

They met him outside the school grounds, away from everyone's watchful eyes. Damian's appearance had changed; he looked worn out, less confident than before. When he saw them, he hesitated, then finally spoke.

Damian: "I wanted to see you both. I... I didn't think it would end like this."

Rose crossed her arms, her face cold.
Rose: "What do you want, Damian?"

Damian: "I don't know. I guess I just wanted to apologize. I was selfish. I hurt you both in ways I can't undo."

Lily looked at him, her eyes filled with a mix of anger and sadness.
Lily: "You think an apology will fix everything? You lied to us, Damian. You manipulated us. You're the reason we're in this mess."

Damian: "I know. I know I don't deserve forgiveness." He looked down, his voice quieter. "I heard about the pregnancies. I... I don't know what to say."

Rose: "There's nothing to say. You're not a part of this anymore."

Damian looked at them both, regret evident in his eyes, but he nodded.
Damian: "I just want you to know that I'm sorry. And if you ever... if you need anything for the babies, just let me know."

Lily and Rose exchanged glances. For a moment, there was silence, but then Lily spoke.
Lily: "We don't need anything from you. We're going to be fine on our own."

Rose: "Goodbye, Damian."

As Damian walked away, there was no satisfaction in watching him leave—only the heavy weight of moving on.
