'She had even secretly resolved that no matter how severe his injuries were, she would never leave his side. It turned out this was all just her own wishful thinking.'
'She had given so much without ever receiving the slightest acknowledgment from him, and now he was questioning her like this.'
'What she thought was a profound love story was nothing more than a one-sided fantasy.'
'Was today the day her long-held crush would finally be shattered?'
