It's gone. The bond, that is--and as much as it hurts, it's almost refreshing.. His presence was a stifling one at times, and it made me feel as if I were..

Never mind.

Just because I can use this place to vent doesn't mean I need to sit here and cry about it like a spoiled child. I'll be strong as always; there's his brother he's told me to look after. My new sacrifice.

If Ritsu tries to get involved again, I think I'll loose it. That man is so infuriating. I believe Nagisa said it best once: Go fall off a cliff.
