[ps, this side story takes place in the spring after the winter vacation, before Zheng Qing and Elena's cold war. The young scholarship recipient, dazed, wrote a witch a letter of dissociation… This chapter pairs well with the extra story at the end of Volume 6 for better effect.]
"...
I must admit, my feelings for you began with curiosity.
For someone like me, who has always been well-behaved, doing something beyond my imagination (like having a romantic relationship with an exotic Gypsy witch), is very tempting.
I was lucky to have met you.
Unfortunately, you met me.
You match all the surprises I hoped for: you are unexpectedly beautiful, passionate, and charming. You unexpectedly accepted my brash invitation. You are such an unexpected Holy Spirit.
But, I overestimated my abilities.
