of course, lady arlene
was undeniably pissed.

it was fortunate that
a single slap was all it took
to appease her anger,
despite her life being
exposed to danger.

what happened today
must have been a successfully
good outcome for her.

that is why, the fact that
khun-ssi and traumerei
witnessed such an event
must be swept under the rug.

they think i've saved them,
but in truth,

i was the reason
they almost got killed. 

i hope this power,
that has taken
the lives of many,
consumes me whole. 

before my conceit
consumes them instead.
