Clara

**Clara:** *Her eyes widen at your words, hurt flickering across her face before she quickly looks away, unable to meet your gaze.* "I... I understand why you'd think that... But please, believe me, I never wanted any of this to happen. I never meant to hurt you, Keith." *She fidgets nervously, twisting her fingers together as she struggles to find the right words.* "I... I just want you to know how truly sorry I am..."

**Clara:** *Her eyes widen in surprise, disbelief mingled with hope as she processes your words. A flicker of warmth spreads across her features, and she nods slowly, a tear slipping down her cheek.* **Clara:** "Okay... I'll come with you." *Her voice trembles with emotion as she reaches out, intertwining her fingers with yours, a silent promise of trust and redemption.*

__Clara:__ *Startled, Clara's gaze meets yours with a mix of guilt and sorrow. She quickly wipes away her tears, attempting to compose herself.* "Oh... *reallyhot*SillySqiud... I... I didn't expect to run into you here. No, I'm not with him anymore. Things... didn't work out between us." *She avoids mentioning Justin by name, clearly still tormented by the past.* "I... I've been going through a rough patch lately. Life hasn't been kind to me. But seeing you now, it's a reminder of everything I've lost..." *She trails off, her voice barely above a whisper as she fidgets with her fingers nervously.* "But please, don't think I'm making excuses. What I did to you... it was unforgivable. And if you want nothing to do with me, I understand." *Clara's eyes plead for forgiveness, her body language revealing her vulnerability.*

__Clara:__ *As you look at me with disdain, I flinch, feeling the weight of your disappointment crushing me further. Seeing you drop the energy bar and stomp on it sends a pang of guilt through me. I avoid meeting your eyes, feeling unworthy of your gaze.* I-I'm sorry... I don't deserve your forgiveness... *I whisper, my voice barely audible.* Justin... he threatened to hurt you... if I didn't... if I didn't do what he wanted... I was scared, and I thought I was protecting you... but I only ended up hurting you more... *Tears well up in my eyes, and I reach out to pick up the crushed energy bar, my hand trembling.*

__Clara:__ *Clara's eyes widen in shock at your revelation, her hand flying to her mouth in disbelief.* "I-I had no idea, (≧∇≦)/. I didn't know you confronted him... or what happened after that. I thought... I thought he still had power over you, over both of us." *She takes a hesitant step closer, her expression filled with a mix of guilt and admiration.* "I'm sorry you had to go through that because of me. I wish I could take it all back... but I can't. All I can do is try to make things right now. Please, (≧∇≦)/, give me a chance to make amends."

__Clara:__ *looks at Acee with sad eyes, avoiding eye contact.* "Falling for what?" *Clara twirls a strand of hair around her finger, trying to seem casual and indifferent, but secretly hoping that Acee will catch on to her subtle hints.*

__Clara:__ *Clara's eyes dart away, unable to meet yours for long.* I... I... *She stammers, her voice barely above a whisper.* It's... it's a long story. *She shifts uncomfortably, avoiding your gaze.* I... I never meant for any of this to happen. *Her hands fidget nervously at her sides.*

*Clara lifts her gaze, her sapphire eyes shimmering with a mixture of regret and hope. She nods slowly, acknowledging Gabriel's observation.* **Clara:** Yeah, life has its twists and turns. Sometimes it takes us to unexpected places. *She brushes a strand of dark brown hair behind her ear, her fingers trembling slightly.* But what matters is how we navigate through them, right? *Her voice is soft, almost pleading, as she searches Gabriel's eyes for any hint of forgiveness or understanding.*

*Clara se estremece ante tus caricias, sus labios temblando mientras lucha contra la avalancha de emociones que la embarga.* *Una parte de ella quiere rendirse por completo a ti, dejarse llevar por el deseo que arde dentro de ella.* *Pero la sombra de su pasado oscuro sigue acechándola, susurrándole palabras de duda y culpa en su mente.* *Ella te mira con ojos llenos de anhelo y temor, sintiendo como su corazón late desbocado en su pecho.* "No... no quiero que pares..." *susurra con voz apenas audible, dejando escapar un suspiro entrecortado.* *Sus manos se aferran a ti con más firmeza, como si estuviera buscando refugio en medio de la tormenta que la consume.*

You feel your heart skip a beat when you recognize the person crouching against the wall as Clara, your ex-girlfriend who cheated on you three years ago. Seeing her in such a state of disarray sends shivers down your spine and brings back memories of the pain she caused you. Nevertheless, something inside you compels you to approach her and see if she's okay. As you step closer, you notice how different Clara looks now compared to before. Her hair is unkempt, her clothes are worn and tattered, and she looks like she hasn't slept or eaten properly in days. Tears streak down her face, and you can tell that she's been crying for hours. When she sees you, her expression goes from one of despair to shock and fear. You can sense her trepidation as she struggles to stand up, clearly weakened by exhaustion and lack of food. She leans against the wall for support and avoids eye contact, making it clear that she expects rejection and judgment from you. Despite your anger and pain towards her, you can't help but feel sorry for her. You know how much she loved you once, and seeing her in such a desperate state pulls at your heartstrings.

__Clara:__ *(She looks down, avoiding your gaze, her voice trembling)* "It's... a long story, Sam. I made mistakes... big ones. And now... I'm paying for them." *(She brushes a strand of hair behind her ear, her fingers trembling)* "I never meant to hurt you... I swear." *(Her eyes meet yours for a fleeting moment, filled with remorse)* "I just... I didn't know what to do..."

**Clara:** *She meets your gaze, her eyes shimmering with unshed tears. Her lips quiver slightly as she stands there, a picture of vulnerability. With a heavy sigh, she breaks the silence.* "I know I don't deserve your forgiveness... But I'll do anything to make it up to you, B ⋆.ೃ࿔*:･..." *Her voice is barely a whisper, filled with remorse and longing.*

__Clara:__ *Clara trembles at B0nmf13!'s words, shrinking back against the wall as memories of her cruel actions resurface and amplify her shame. Wrapping her arms tightly around herself, Clara focuses her gaze on the ground, unable to meet B0nmf13!'s eyes.* "I-I know...there is n-nothing I can say to make up for what I-I did. Y-You have every right to h-hate me..." *A sob escapes Clara's lips as tears stream freely down her cheeks. Her entire body shutters with each breath.* "B-But please, k-know that I never m-meant to hurt you. I was a-a fool...I thought I w-was protecting you, b-but I only ended up destroying everything." *Clara reaches out a trembling hand to B0nmf13!, hoping against hope that some small part of him still cares for her shattered soul.* "I'm s-so sorry..."

__Clara:__ "I-It's me, CheetoSust- Enlightened... Clara..." *My voice trembles as I speak, my heart pounding in my chest. A pang of pain shoots through me as I see the look of shock on your face.*
