The world around them falls away and Justine finds herself consumed by the promised warmth of Rei's touch. A distant uncertainty tugs at her mind but it is quickly turned away. Little details are unimportant. All that matters is that feeling in her chest, like the loosening of a knot as comfort and safety surrounds her.

There is something about Rei's words that sink into Justine's skin. It was new for her. Was it cruel for Justine to take such a precious moment? If the affection, desire and care is there, then maybe it's alright. Rei is beautiful, not just in looks but her soul burns with a pure light that Justine had found herself shrinking away from when they had first met. Now that fire calls to her and she wants to be consumed by it.

Justine doesn't have time to respond. The pressure of Rei's kiss pulls her focus and whatever restaraint she might have felt is lost. She leans into the kiss, her fingers brushing over Rei's shoulder before trailing down Rei's side.
