I hug Sage, looking at Sai. If she dies, I'm partly to blame... I might've been able to stop Mace from deporting Blace in the first place... My breath grows shaky, but I manage to keep my composure.
I roll my eyes. "Whatever. Get on with it." Oh, god... I wish i could time travel back to the night i was ****ing the girl from the bar... I involuntarily lick my lips in response. Now, that girl knew a thing or two about pleasing a man in more ways than one.
"You probably already know that the two of them have veeerrrry different personalities and opinions. Well, that's because they're basically two people. Sai came first, of course. Our father was.... neglectful, at best. And I almost never saw her, since I lived with our mother."
"Sai didn't have a good childhood. And from that, Lia came into existence. Sai's first 'friend'. Except she's nothing like that. As you saw, Sai collapsed right after she chose to leave with you. That's Lia's fault."
"Lia's usually quite laid back about stuff like this, so she must've really been opposed to Sai leaving. But to go as far as to actually harm Sai....."
"Because if you love Sai, you'll need to know this. And if you don't," I narrow my eyes. "Leave. Lia's only going to stay until Sai finds happiness, and such an adverse reaction means leaving with you will make her the happiest. However, like I said before, this isn't a game. How do you feel towards Sai?"
I think for a moment. "I don't really know. I like being around her but I could surely live without her." I shrug. "I've only had one serious relationship before. I'm not the commitment type."

I quickly add, "I do enjoy my relationship with her."
I notice Sage begin to snore. Even her snoring is cute, I think to myself. I say to Sai, "I'll be back tomorrow... If you can hear me..." I carry Sage back to her room. I go to sleep with her, keeping my arms around her.
