"Look, I'll be direct. Whether you like me or not, I have no intention of starting a relationship with you beyond what I proposed before. If you don't want that, that's fine. Let's carry on as usual and behave as if we were strangers."
Yes, things may sound dry, but there will be no misunderstandings. Lily once told me something that I made sure to never forget.
["Having sex without a loving bond is fine, but pretending to have a loving bond in order to have sex is miserable. I would be really disappointed if you did something like that, sweetheart."]
Her words were right, and I can do many things, but disappointing her and the rest is out of the question.
"B-but..."
"And if by any chance you think you owe me something, or that I did it because I have some kind of taste for you, you're wrong. I purified you because your smell was killing me. And again, I helped you with your other problem simply because you look a little like my friend."
