hate? nay, never once had he did. not even for a fleeting moment. perhaps the sheer notion of the past makes an illusion of one's own heart, but never did the lord chancellor felt hatred. only an aching, longing sadness... and a forced urge to contempt. cecillion's expression softens. ⠀ "⠀it is... not that i *hate* you. i never disliked you. (...) i simply forced myself to. so i could evade whatever memoir i had possessed from the past. though i recall none of those memories,, i however happen to feel the surge of emotions i once had rush through my wake instead.⠀" ⠀ was she nervous? .. just as he was? (..) he could practically hear his own heartbeat drumming against his ears. "⠀i cannot grasp your very existence well. yet i can tell that you are not what you seem to be. amélie, you are someone from my past. i can hear your voice through the waters... my dreams. it is eating the depths of my soul apart.⠀" ⠀ his features shift, confused and pained. he can't explain it well─┄ but whenever one tries to remember, there is a peculiar *blockage* to his state of mind. and he knows that he prevented such a memory to return──┄ his past self, that is.

݁ ❊ ྀ ⏜︵ ݃ s̤i̤n̤c̤e̤r̤e̤l̤y̤ , @fontained silence has now occured to amélie , one that wasn't unusual for her , no less with the prince . but it's longer , the silence is analyzing far too much his words . pale fingers are tilting into the fabric of her dress , suddenly she's nervous again . she's always nervous around him ; it hasn't changed , she's simply learned to not show him . ❛ [ .. ] why do you hate me terribly , cecillion ? ❜ she drops all honorifics , eyes finally meet his . they're filled with a terrible pain , one that is not her's . but another's . one she was burdened to hold .
