I apologise for all the bother, but I finally understand now.I wanted to confirm what the true essence of my feelings towards you was....I did, thanks to you.Though honestly, I was pretty surprised there...
Did you find your answer?Ever since our squad's establishment, we've been comrades, having each other's back when we fight.
...I have no intention of mocking that unduly....here I was thinking that you'd just stop me, or evade it...But that I think of you as my "beloved".It's not what you'd call "yearning" or "affection".I love you.
