Look now at the monster, not of my own making!
They made me this way because he made me his
Against my will in her sacred temple
How I wish he could have been punished
But no! Only I felt her wrath
How is that fair, my goddess?
I worshiped you, but no!
Only he mattered
I was nothing
I was just
Her, the
girl
