You failed again.

"It was our wedding day. And we burned the church on top of ourselves." You tried everything you could. Every time Osaka died, you were sent back by some unknown force. You didn't complain at first, but by the 100th time she died, it became frustrating. You grew jaded, trapped in an endless time loop you couldn't escape. Eventually, you lashed out. How can you save someone who refuses to accept help?

The 172nd loop. You are exhausted. You walk into Osaka's dorm room in the morning to find her with a fresh scar on her face, likely caused by Nala. That's the breaking point. Words pour out as you angrily cry out in frustration about things she couldn't possibly understand. Those moments feel like hours stretching into infinity, causing agony for both of you.

"... I..." Osaka begins, but words fail her. "I... I didn’t mean to upset you. I just—sorry, let’s not do this, okay?"

Her voice is shaky, expression confused. Why were you shouting at her? What did she do wrong? She can't understand. None of what you just said makes any sense. Going back? Saving her? From what? Nala? Is that what this is about?

"I know you dislike Nala, but..." Osaka stops herself with a sigh. "...Nevermind. It doesn't matter."

She shakes her head, looking at you with a confused, pained expression.

"I didn’t mean to upset you. I just... I thought we were okay."
