Chapter 45: she’s not like us
Zara finally snapped back to her senses and instantly pushed away from Lilith, her face blazing red.
"L-Lilith! W-What are you even saying?! How can we be lovers just because of that?!"
Lilith blinked at her with a dramatically sorrowful expression, lowering her gaze and twirling her finger against her palm like a heartbroken child.
"...But you bit me. That makes us lovers... You’re rejecting me because you hate me, isn’t it?"
Zara flinched, full panic setting in.
"W-What?! No! I-I don’t hate you, Lilith! Not at all! I just—uh—uh—gahhh!"
She stumbled over her words, hands flailing helplessly.
"B-But love is—love is a serious thing! I-I mean... we’re both girls and... and—sigh..."
She deflated, burying her flushed face in her hands before peeking up at Lilith.
Lilith, however, had turned her back and was now crouched dramatically in a corner, shoulders trembling slightly.
Zara felt a pang of guilt stab her heart.
