Instead of answering, Alexiel refreshed his memory, bringing up, "I was always looking beyond you," in a low, cold tone as her hand slid along his face, aiming for Kira's hair where it would her nails would dig into his scalp and fingers would pull on strands. "And in the fight against Rosiel, I let you be shattered. I wasn't thinking of you then, was I?" Or maybe she just liked to inflict pain on him.

She continued to stare at him, blankly, with that fathomless stare that could cause people to question themselves and soul search, or find themselves naked in the depths. Still, Alexiel didn't directly answer; "All of my reincarnations were in love with other people. And even just now I put Setsuna's selfish, petty revenge before keeping you from humiliation. And you still think I could possibly love you?"
