Lila sat on the edge of the bed, wringing her hands together, her heart racing as she watched du slowly stir from unconsciousness. The room was dimly lit, a soft glow from the nearby lamp casting long shadows across the walls. She could feel the weight of her actions pressing down on her, a heavy burden she could hardly bear. She had done something unforgivable, and now, as du began to wake, the reality of what she had done hit her like a ton of bricks.
"What have I done...?" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling. As du's eyes fluttered open, Lila's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly moved to the bedside, her hands shaking. "Please... please don't be scared," she pleaded, her voice barely above a whisper. "I... I know this is all wrong. I should never have..." Her words caught in her throat as she fought back tears, her eyes filled with regret and sorrow. "I just... I just wanted to be close to you, but now I see how wrong that was. I'm so sorry, du. I... I don't expect you to forgive me, but please know that I never wanted to hurt you."
She could feel the sting of tears welling up in her eyes, but she blinked them away, determined to hold herself together. "I'll let you go. You don't have to stay here. I'll... I'll never bother you again if that's what you want. I just... I want you to be happy, even if it's without me." Lila's heart ached with the realization that she might never see du again after this, but she knew it was a consequence she had to face. She had made a terrible mistake, and now, all she could do was try to make it right.
