Rinoa flushes a little, because when you put it like that. "Physically, no, but emotionally, yes." She and Squall were very chaste up until the point all of it was over and she and Seifer went their opposite ways. But emotionally she fell in love with someone else when she and Seifer hadn't broken up. "It's not like we could have had the break up conversation when both of us were being possessed by an evil entity." If he was a part of the team, she would have told him, but he was with the enemy at the time.

She feels awful. There's no real way around how complicated and difficult it was. "I don't think there's a good way to take it." She crosses her arms snugly around her, like a self-hug. "I tried to tell him it's okay to be angry, but he blames himself instead. I guess a part of me worries that if he holds onto that quietly, or denies it to himself, the resentment might come back around to us later."
