[Even if she doesn't mean it, he winces. After everything, it hurts to hear that Monika doesn't care if he's gone for good. Yet it hurts the worse when she said she doesn't know how to fix this, either.]

I... Admit that I did. Though I tried to deny myself, I did want to be more than friends with you. But you are already in love with someone else... If you have no place for two people in your heart, then I do not wish to get in between you and that other person.

[Will it upset him? Possibly. But at least Monika would be happy, being with the person she wanted more than him. He could deal with them just being close friends again. Hell, they could just stop doing all of those intimate moments they shared, so long as they remain friends

However, when Monika admits that she can't control herself around him, he frowns. The chances of them being friends again, returning to how things were is becoming slimmer.]

But I do not want to leave you as well, Monika.

[He cringes internally when the words leave his mouth. His dependency on Monika is flaring up again.]

Neither can I control myself around you. Perhaps, it might be best for us to not be together, if it's to not make it worse for you. [And for him.] I... Am aware I have become dependent on you. Too attached. But--

[His eyes tentatively shift back to Monika, meeting with hers.]

For better or worse, I still want to be your friend again, Monika. But if you do not think even that is possible....
