[It reminds her so much of that moment in the bar. A soft touch against her fingers. The sense of being the center of attention of countless eyes.]

I kissed you earlier. [She kind of blurts it out, an awkward segue into an awkward memory, but if there's any time to admit what happened, it's now. Venus should know before they go any further. It's only right.] Back when the station was getting all weird and there were those monsters and shadow doubles running around. I found a you who wasn't you.

She was so sad because Jupiter and Neptune left, and I was all sad, and we started making out, and I just wanted to enjoy the moment without letting myself get in the way. And then I started overthinking things and freaked out and left and oops, that's why I've been avoiding you for so long!

[She props herself up on her elbows and turns to face Venus head-on. Please don't mind the fact she's slightly off angle.]

That's kind of a big thing to keep from someone, and it doesn't feel right to stay quiet about it. I thought you should know.
