[A long pause, her eyebrows furrowed, trying to think of how to say it, before she...just goes and says it.]

I...have feelings for you.

[And then a beat, her gaze cast aside.]

But...I don't want that to change anything, I don't...need you to return anything. And I understand if you don't. I...understand if you have feelings for someone else, or don't care for it. I've just been thinking about regrets. About Vin and Atsushi, on that ferris wheel, and this past week, feeling like I'm stuck in "Civil War", again...

[You have to wash that knife with pure water - before your heart tells you that you can't bear it-!!]

[Oh, her heart felt like it was being torn into shreds, these last few days.]

So I...wanted to get it off my chest, especially before tonight. I just wanted you to know. You make me happy, more than anything. And I...don't want this to be a burden on you or something...like I said, I don't expect anything.

[A pause, her voice wavering.]

I just want to know you're loved, even by a wasted nun like me.
