"I apologize for what I've done. I...I acted impulsively...so please don't..."
"Perpetua...just give me some time and space...okay...?I...I just need to clear my mind..."
"And by clearing your mind you mean talking with another girl...?" Perpetua's expression darkened.
Seemingly oblivious to this Yin just tilted her head in confusion and continued. " You mean that Bela...? She's just a student I often speak with in the early morning..."
"Oh...? Instead of thinking about doing your duties you waste your time by talking with someone...?" Something took hold within Perpetua and seemed to set ablaze her emotions.
Now, upset, Yin took a step forward towards Perpetua to defend Bela. "Waste...? We merely greet each other in the morning or exchange a line or two...Besides these little things don't concern you...Why are you so nosy about it...?"
Seeing her maid taking side of another girl instead of her made Perpetua strangely feel her insides twist. "I call it a waste because one way or another she'll forget about you and won't even remember you exist unless you approach her once again after a rewind.No one other than me can remember anything."
The conversation suddenly took a strange direction and it seemed that none of the two cared that much as they let their emotions took hold of the conversation.
"I cannot help it! I have to interact with other people to remain sane! I cannot just spend my days as your maid!"
"So you are sick of me? Is that it?"
"No!That's not-!"
*step*
"You know that your entire existence really helps with my sanity. I have become so attached to you that I let you, a maid, sleep with me in the same room and bed!"
"Perpetua-"
*step*
"Just fifteen years and few rewinds in total took you to become something really tangible in my heart!"
Normally, Yin would've blushed by that statement but the current Perpetua was wearing an angry and dark expression that made her only feel fear instead.
"I cannot understand. You didn't actively pursue me nor glanced at me like I wanted.Yet...you melted this heart of mine just by being by my side."
"But-!"
*step*
"You went with the flow, didn't you? You kissing back was only because you give in and your current reaction is because you have never been kissed nor approached you like I did."
"That-"
Now Perpetua was just a few inches from Yin. Because of Perpetua's relentless assault Yin couldn't do anything other than stepping back and was unable to properly respond back.
"Nothing has meaning! I die and die and die and die again! No one remembers me! But you do! The moment you appeared I...I knew I would be bound to become extremely attached to you..."
"S-stop...!L-let me go...!"
Taking hold of Yin's wrists Perpetua restrained her.
"Haaaaa...I thought that we would have become like close sisters if we spent time together I never thought that a person like you existed. I already lost my will to continued to escape from this curse..."
"People will find us..." Now, with fear in her voice, Yin whispered.
"Hahah." Perpetua released a soft chuckle. "Look around you. You ran off somewhere far from the academy." Bringing her head to Yin's neck, Perpetua deeply breathed bringing shivers to the restrained girl.
"Your scent, your way of speaking, expressing yourself and just how you smile...not to mention how good you are as a maid...I fell in love with those little things. It's your fault that we are here. You just have to appear and make me like this."
"It hurts...stop it..." Putting Yin's arms behind her back Perpetua took out a piece of cloth from her pockets before putting it inside Yin's mouth.
With her mouth stuffed, Yin could only release muffled moans.
A hand restraining both of Yin's wrists and another one covering her mouth entirely making her unable to even release a single sound, Perpetua prompted to Yin to walk in such conditions.
"I know many places where I can lock you up since I used those places to hide from death and it just happens that you ran off near one of them. Now stop trashing around and walk.Don't cry, this is entirely your fault you make me feel like this that I barely can control my actions."
Despite not seeing it Perpetua could feel hot tears flowing down from Yin's eyes and landing on the hand covering her mouth.

*Clack!*
As a heavy sound resounded and darkness pervaded Deva's sight Deva checked whether Perpetua left the place.
"I often see the process of being kidnapped the best. In that just moment one can feel a rush of emotions in one go."
With her gag taken off Deva could speak but her wrists and ankles were restrained by ropes. She could easily cut those ropes and escape but why would she do that?
Her crazy captor would just kill herself and attempt to find her in the next rewind, and Deva's current priority is to make Perpetua's love more and more distorted to the point of no return.
"Violetta, don't look at me like that...Hehe, I'm just doing my quest...Still...despite these years I never felt a sign of an artifact in her...even if it fused with her it should've atleast leave a trace but there's no sign at all. But even after all this nothing happened...In the end this is the only way to proceed...even if I were to take her heart out of her and a rewind happens I can use the pretense of defending myself from her...Mmmm!" Deva nodded.
"Killing two birds with a stone. Not only making her like this I can hurt her without decreasing her love towards me but I can try and try again to find a way to take the artifact."
Already used in being bound and instead takes pleasure on it, Deva shifted comfortably in her position.
"Now we wait."
