"Please stop doing this to yourself," Garin said. "You're not a bad person, you were only trying to help, and you did."

"But that doesn't change the fact that I caused you pain," Aquaria said. She stood up from the bed and shook her head.

Garin whined a little. "Get back here," he said, standing up as well.

"You'd probably be better off without me. I..." Aquaria said, still facing away from Garin.

"No!" Garin cried and hugged her from behind. "Please, Aquaria. Never say that again! It's so far from the truth!"

"What is the truth, then?" Aquaria asked Garin quietly.

Aquaria stood there silently, letting Garin hug her. She still hated herself for what she did to him. Absently, she rubbed her wrists again.

"Don't be sorry, Garin," Aquaria said. She bowed her head and thought about Garin's request. "And I'll stay," she added, still rubbing around the bruises.
