☀️ Arselia and Akonia

Jerking away and nearly leaving a piece of an ear behind, she says:
- No, why would I? Everyone has losses in their life, - her voice sounded perfectly calm, and her eyes were not visible in the current lighting - instead, only black hollows were seen on her face. - Yes, I failed miserably in the park, so what, who cares, some makeshift "fun starts" don't define the actual state of a person's life. Sure, I made a laughingstock of myself in front of some drunks, undermined the dynasty's reputation and crushed my employer's hopes in a competition I never even wanted, and only signed up for out of solidarity, wavering before her puppy-dog eyes after six months of persuasion, so what of it? Things happen, it's not the first case and it won't be the last. The main thing is that my friend's contest plus one body got an "appearance," for something like that, it's a negligible price. In the end, it was my personal choice, - she turned away. - It is within my power only to rejoice for the winners and sympathize with the losers.
