Katarina, after being kissed by Maria: I'm sure she's just being a good friend. Maria has one of the capture targets as her true love, after all.
If only it could go like this ;-;
““
Love won out in the end, or at least that's what Maria understood when she heard them talk about it "Then I…! I choose you, Katarina-sama! I want to be with you!"
The brunette sat up so fast the two almost bumped heads.
"What?" Her eyes were so wide they almost looked like they'd fall off her face "No, huh? Maria-chan? What are you talking about? The guys! Think about the guys! Why me?!"
Why indeed…? Wasn't that always the question that didn't have an answer?
"Because you're beautiful, and bright. You're the light that makes everything okay, and the world flourishes when you're in it." Maria took the lady's hands between hers, her face heating up as she allowed the words to go on without thinking "It's an impossible reality, one that does not exist without you. Because this world is bleak, and things turn for the worse all the time… But if it's with you, I feel like I can go on and make things right."
Katarina-sama's face became so red she almost started glowing "M-Maria-chan?! This is… This is not the time! I can't—!"
"The right time doesn't exist!"
"But! Aren't you close enough with everybody else?! What about…? Huh…" See? She couldn't even think about her friends! Katarina-sama herself knew Maria was the closest to her!
"I want Katarina-sama." Maria stated firmly.
