"Don’t mistake my love for agreement. I will not stand beside you in this."

"You’re still my heart, but right now, you are also my enemy."

"I swore to protect you, not to help you ruin yourself."

"You disgust me, but no one deserves what they’re doing to you."

"If anyone’s going to destroy you, it’s me. Not them."

"I’d sooner spit in your face than call you friend, but I will not watch them gut you."

"Don’t read too much into this... I’m saving you because their cause is worse than yours."

"We’ve been enemies for years, but today… we fight the same battle."

"Our morals are oceans apart, but even I can see they’re drowning you."

"The side I’ve chosen would spit on me for helping you. I’ll do it anyway."

"You are everything I oppose, and yet—if I let them take you, I’ll be no better than you are."

"I’d forgive you for anything, but not for this."

"I’m not leaving because I stopped loving you. I’m leaving because I still do."

"My heart says stay. My conscience says run."

"If you keep down this road, I will have to stop you, and I will."

"You’re the one I want beside me, not the one who drags me into darkness."

"I’ll stand with you through storms, but not if you’re the storm itself."

"I’m bound to you by love, but unbound by your choices."

"I wish I could close my eyes to this, but I see too much."

"You’ve made me angry, but seeing you hurt makes my blood boil."

"I want to forgive you, but I must punish you."

"My love for you doesn’t exempt you from consequences."

"You’re my weakness and my reckoning."

"If I shield you, I betray everything I stand for."

"You’re the reason I fight and the reason I hesitate."

"You are my enemy, but I cannot fight the part of me that loves you."

"Every battle with you is a battle with myself."

"I hate that I love you more than I fear you."

"I love you enough to be your greatest obstacle."

"Sometimes the hardest love is the one that says no."

"I’m not your ally here. I’m the voice you need to hear, even if you hate me for it."

"If letting you fall means saving you, then I’ll catch you—but only after the fall."

“Hating you doesn’t mean I want you harmed.”

"I wish you were better, but I refuse to let them make you worse."

"I hate what you’ve become, but I hate the thought of losing you even more."

"Your choices break my heart, but their punishment will break you."

"I hate you fiercely, but I’d fight anyone who tries to break you."

“I will stand against you—for your own good.”

You think you're so much better than me, don't you?

Stop looking at me like that.

We're on the same side now, whether you like it or not.

I'd rather die than work with you.

You're the last person I wanted to see today.

Don't you dare act like you care about me now.

I know what you did. I know everything.

You've always been my enemy, but you've never been my equal.

Why does it feel like you're the only one who actually sees me?

I don't trust you. I'll never trust you.

You're insufferable, you know that?

We can't keep doing this—pretending we don't feel it.

I've spent half my life trying to destroy you.

God, I want to hate you so badly right now.

You make me want to scream.

I didn't save you because I like you. I saved you because I had to.

We're not friends. We'll never be friends.

You don't get to be vulnerable with me now, not after everything.

I've imagined killing you a thousand different ways.

Why do you always have to be right?

I hate how much space you take up in my head.

You're my rival, not my—whatever the hell this is.

Don't touch me. Don't you fucking dare.

I know you better than anyone, and that's the worst part.

You've ruined me for anyone else, and I hate you for it.

I'd burn the world down before I let you win.

You look at me like I'm the villain, but you're no hero either.

I can't do this. I can't want you and hate you at the same time.

You're the only person who's ever challenged me.

Stop pretending you don't feel this too.

I've never wanted to throttle someone and hold them this badly before.

We're going to regret this in the morning.

You think you know me? You don't know anything.

I didn't mean to fall for you. This is a mistake.

You make me feel like I'm losing a battle I didn't even know I was fighting.

I swore I'd never let you get close to me.

Why does fighting with you feel better than being happy with anyone else?

You're dangerous. To me. To everything I've built.

I hate that you're the only one who makes me feel alive.

This thing between us—it's toxic. We're toxic.

You've always been the thorn in my side. Now you're under my skin.

You betrayed me once. How do I know you won't do it again?

I've spent years building walls to keep you out.

We're playing with fire here, and we both know it.

You're my competition, my nemesis, my—fuck, I don't even know anymore.

dialogue.

i trusted you. my mistake.

i'll never forgive you.

i'll spend the rest of my life making you miserable.

we'll never be the same again.

you crossed a line.

you and me? we're done.

beg. for your life. for forgiveness. just beg.

are you going to beg?

i almost had you.

you were lucky last time. not this time.

they're dead ... because of you.

you took everything from me! what more do you want?

i'm not mad that you lied to me. i'm mad that i can't trust you ever again.

i will sacrifice us both just to make a point.

making each other miserable is our thing. don't try to change that.

this is my revenge.

something about you makes me want to be violent.

how could you?

why did you come back for me?

i'm sorry. i'm sorry. i'm sorry.

i won't make that mistake again.

you betrayed me. i suffered.

how fucking dare you!

how the fuck could you do this to me? to us?

our story ends with your end.

i won't show you mercy.

why are you helping me? i don't like you!

just this once.

you won't always be able to cheat death.

"You thought I loved you. That was the easiest part of the game."

"I didn’t break your heart. I just showed you how fragile it already was."

"You mistook my silence for devotion. It was only calculation."

"I kept every promise I made to you—just not in the way you believed I would."

"I wasn’t loyal. I was bored."

"You trusted me because you wanted to. That’s not my sin—that’s yours."

"I never needed your love. I only needed your weakness."

"You call it cruelty. I call it honesty too late."

"You were useful. That was all."

"I didn’t fall out of love. I simply stopped pretending."

"You thought I was different. That was your first mistake."

"Every word I gave you was rehearsed. Every touch, deliberate."

"Don’t cry. You always knew I wasn’t staying."

"I didn’t betray you. I just chose myself."

"You mistook my patience for affection."

"If I wanted to break you, I would’ve done it faster."

"You should’ve realized: people don’t abandon what they value."

"You weren’t the love of my life. You were a distraction."

"I never saw forever with you. Only convenience."

"You think I regret it? I don’t regret a thing."

"You gave me loyalty. I never promised the same."

"I didn’t keep you because I loved you. I kept you because you stayed."

"If it hurts, it means you made me bigger than I ever was."

"You asked for truth. This is it: you never mattered as much as you thought."

"I didn’t leave you broken. You were already cracked—I just let the light show."
