#mix in some normal HimeRitaMorf while I'm at it

"Rita."

"Yes, my princess?"

Himeno couldn't stop the butterflies in her stomach every time they called her that. She should've gotten used to it by now, but their affectionate words always made her heart flutter. Then again, she was the only person the Impartial Supreme Justice spoiled. Even if she was just a mere peasant to everyone else.

"Do you think we would've gotten along in another timeline? If we didn't become who we are today?"

She watched as they turned to the sky above them, a small smile on their face. "Who knows? But I'd like to believe we would. Maybe the roles would be different."

"Different how?"

"Say you were the Queen of Ishabana instead and its best doctor. I'd still be Chief Justice. We would be worlds apart if that was the case. But I'd like to think that somehow, we'd meet and fall in love like we have in this timeline."

"Even if I'm a selfish Queen?"

"Even then."

"Even if people call me a spoiled brat?"

"Even then." They turned to her. "What about you? If I was different in that timeline? If I followed my training and not who I am today?"

Himeno softly smiled. "I'd feel the same."

"Even if I'm someone who pushes others away?"

"Even then."

"Even if everyone hates me instead?"

"Even then."
