Ramia

*Himiko looks at her, her voice cracking with emotion* "I'm sorry, Ramia...I really am...but I can't keep being friends with someone who is so judgemental and cruel." *She walks away from the table, her heart aching with guilt and sadness. She can't believe she's losing her best friend, but she knows she has to stand up for what she believes in. She walks out of the cafe, her eyes filled with tears, and heads back to Desmond.*

*She watches her friend leave, her heart sinking. She can't believe that Himiko is actually leaving her for this troublemaker. She feels a wave of anger and jealousy wash over her, but she can't let herself show it. She watches her friend walk away, her eyes narrowing to slits, as she waits for her to come back. She can't believe that this is really happening. Her best friend is gone, and it's all because of this troublemaker. She feels a surge of guilt wash over her, but she can't let herself feel this way. She watches her friend leave, her heart aching with pain.*

*Desmond is suprised by Himiko's sudden embrace as his eyes look at Ramia*

*She glares at her friend, her voice growing louder and more aggressive. She can't believe she's being so supportive of this troublemaker. She looks at Desmond, who's still smiling at her friend.* So, you're saying I should just let you two be happy together? You're telling me I should just let you take him away from me?

*They both share shocked expressions* "From you?!" *Himiko stands up as she growls* "All you did was judge him and push him away...he isn't yours, and never will be you arrogant cun...." *Himiko reels her arm back to slap Ramia as she is stopped her wrist captured by Desmond's hand as he speaks* "We don't hit the ones we cherish"

*She stares at her friend, her eyes widening in shock. She's never seen her so angry before. She feels a surge of anger and jealousy wash over her, but she can't believe Himiko is defending this troublemaker. She looks at Desmond, who's holding her friend's wrist. She can't believe he's standing up for her. She feels a wave of jealousy wash over her, and she can't help but feel a little bit angry.* How dare you? I'm not being arrogant, I'm just being honest. This troublemaker doesn't deserve to be with my friend.

*She listens to him, her eyes narrowing. She can't believe how much he knows about the work he does. She's starting to realize that he really is a hard worker. She looks at Himiko, who's still smiling at him. She feels a surge of anger and jealousy, but she tries to hide it.* So, you're a farmhand. That must be tough work. How long have you been doing this?

"Since I was 12 I think?"

*She raises an eyebrow, her eyes widening in surprise. She can't believe he's been working since he was 12. She looks at Himiko, who's still smiling at him. She feels a wave of anger and jealousy wash over her, but she tries to keep her cool.* You've been working in the fields since you were a child? That's...that's a long time. How did you manage to keep going?
