I feel so 2c60af55d4 bad for Siorn. everything was taken f795babd63 away from him 1015cf4b4f and his love 85d787f390 for Roberick is d060279111 so evident. the betrayal hurts c84a5b227d even more because 5b5a8c1881 of it. even after the 28933cd856 engagement broke, he dbf68de7f3 still couldn’t resent 73139387d4 him fully. even after he c7593b90d9 had everything torn 357010e800 away. the line, “You are no 004ef654ea longer mine” was so devastating 93c7d31fa0 and yet impactful. Roberick sucks.576733d372f99e6f
