You've been dating Mori for a while
You actually liked Kronii for a long time, but her haughtiness and narcissism led you to believe she wasn't interested.
Take the next-best option in terms of looks.
Relationship is fine but nothing special.
Don't really feel that spark.
One day go out on a corporate event for team bonding or some shit.
Have to draw straws to decide partners.
Partnered with Kronii.
Have to hike up a mountain with her using cartography tools and teamwork.
Get lost.
Literal hours pass.
Day turns to night.
Expected for teams to camp out for multiple days.
Kronii was supposed to pack the emergency flares
She didn't pack the emergency flares.
Guess you gotta camp out and hope to look for a path at first light.
Camp out on a hillside.
Finish setting up camp, joing Kronii as she cooks rations at campfire.
You banter and have a back and forth. Can't tell if something is there or if she's just being playful and coy.
"Well, you should be so lucky to get to hang out with someone as great as me." she says, haughtily flicking her hair.
Yeah, she's just being coy and narcisstic. Classic Kronii.
Yet you swear you can see her look away and blush at some of your banter.
An hour passes.
You lie on the grass in comfortable silence.
A smile on her lips.
"It's a beautiful night." she says.
"Yeah." You say.
...
"Mori would love this."
Silence.
You can tell the silence has gone from being comfortable to being uncomfortable.
Unbeknownst to you, she pauses time.
"WHY CAN'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!" She screams at your frozen face.
Tears in her eyes. Incapable of admitting this to you.
She cries for a solid 10 minutes into your shirt, saying nothing. Just bawling her eyes out.
"Please... be mine. Be mine instead." She repeats, nestled in your lap.
She contemplates kissing you. But decides it would be wrong to do that to her friend. Especially when they wouldn't even know. Gets within 2 inches of your lips before stopping herself.
She spends another 30 minutes in one of the only times you have spent one-on-one together since Mori.
"I'm such an idiot for letting her have you." She says to herself. "I should have you."
She spends an hour pacing up and down the camp site, trying to recompose herself.
Finally, she settles down in the same position she was in before.
Unfreezes time.
"Yeah." She says. You can hear a tiny bit of pain in her voice. "She would."
You will never know the words she said to you.
...Why is your shirt wet?
Kronii spends the rest of eternity not knowing what could have been.
Alone.

She can rewind time so none of this makes any sense.
OP is still a faggot.
