I've had strong feelings for four people, Beleth. One I never acknowledged because there was too much risk, and the Templars took him away from me. One I never admitted my feelings to and maybe it was for the better, but I'm not sure. I'll never know. One I told, after hurting her, and I think it was right to tell her. And then there's Nathaniel, who knows, and I'm forever grateful I've told.
[He's getting a little rambly.]
The point is that you can't know all of the possibilities. You can't predict what will happen. But if you want a chance, you will have to speak up. Sitting on it, letting it slip away, means that it will never come to be. It's easier, yes. And you can tell yourself it was never going to happen. But you'll never know.
