-

18.
>"You will not know the sleepless nights, the sobbing, the begging whatever cruel master this universe has for one more moment with you."

>"So please, before you act on that youthful innocence..."
-
20.
>"Ask yourself, is it worth it?"
-
21.

>So you lowered your hand from her cheek and stepped back.
-
34.
>She made no effort to stop you.

-
36.
>Your voice, once filled with confidence, was but a whisper now.
-
37.
>"Anon, you are a mortal, you will never understand how difficult it is to know every path you take will have one ending."

"If that were true you would lock yourself in a tower and never come out. Never learn about the ponies, never know their names or find out about their days."

-
43.
>Her muscles tensed when you touched her, as if you fingers were full of electricity.

"You want to experience life as much as anyone does. Maybe even more, because you can appreciate how strong a small action has on the world."

45.
>"Anon...I..."

"Like a foolish human telling a goddess he loves her."
-
47.
>Your touch ran up her neck, and turned her head back to face you.
-

>And just as she feared, you kissed her.
