Keiko looked at herself in the mirror.
Touga...
She stared at her young body.
My love...
She glanced at her dresser
If only you would notice me.
Her eyes fell upon a small picture frame
I keep thinking that one day you will
Aiko, Yuuko, Herself, and Nanami watch her from the frame.
But I am unworthy.
She focuses on Nanami. One that sweet smile.
says your too good for anyone...
Keiko picks the picture up, staring down at it.
Too good for anyone...but her.

She feels her anger rise as she stares at the picture
Why aren't I good enough?
Her hands begin to shake, and the picture rattles.
Am I not pretty enough? Am I not smart enough?
She feels tears of anger and frustration fall onto the picture
I try so hard, yes Ms. Nanami...she...she...
Her vision becomes blurred as her shaking increases
I just want one chance with you Touga...one chance with love!
She gulps in air.
But she steals even that from me! Can't I love who I choose?

Her eyes narrow, her hatred for the sweet smile enraged
Can't I love...who...
She cries out and throws the picture. The glass shatters against the wall.
Ms. Nanami is vermin. Keeping me from MY Touga. From MY love.
She calmly walks to the door and opens it.
I'll get your love MY Touga. I swear that too you on the Black Rose..

And she is gone.
