I have two partners. I love them both, but I love them for different reasons.

Retvik is pretty obvious. He was the most desirable Rethan alive when we were mortal and I was somehow given a chance with him. And against all odds, Retvik accepts me as his partner. Probably because he managed to fix me.

Arkay is… complicated. He is a very, very complicated person. He considers himself to be a monster, but he is not. He is a good soul who was forced to serve monsters. But more importantly, he can see the good in other people too.

While Retvik did fix me, I think Arkay allowed me to accept myself.
