The surprise and confusion controlled my body. Tears pricked my eyes.
"But... you're..."
She crossed her arms, tightly hugging her chest. "Ugly. Strange. I know."
I shook my head vigorously.
"No. You're beautiful."
She gave me everything she was. Her heart, her soul, her identity... I still loved her. That is what she needed, I think.
To finally be accepted and truly loved for her full beauty.
She looked near tears once again.
"I love you, Sebastian."
"I love you, too, Hyori. Always have. Always will."
