I don't think he could figure it out when it mattered... and then was hoping it wasn't true when he could....
[Which made sense.]
I'm not really sure how exactly I feel. Relieved? But... they don't really go away, do they? I think they'll be there forever. But, that should be alright as long as I don't cause him problems. As for injuries... well, I can't blame her. Roxy san was rather mad at me. She said she should have broken my jaw, I think she probably should have. She said she would murder me if I went near the people she cared about, I said she should just do it ahead of time.
While it is likely that your feelings will not ever fully fade away, there are plenty of fish in the sea as they say, and seeing as we are on an literal ocean planet, there are plenty of fish for you to choose from.
[Kanaya's expression takes on a thoughtful one.]
If you were a troll, I would say that there is possibility of courting Hinata in another quadrant, most likely as a potential Kismesis.
[You'd be able to continue calling him an idiot for all time.]
But as Hinata has repeatedly expressed his disinterest in the quadrants, it is an unlikely option.
[Kanaya purses her lips in thought when she hears who Roxy did.]
While I can potentially overlook punching your jaw due to Karkat being a dear friend that I would prefer un-exploded, I feel that the murder threat is unacceptable and not to mention unable to be followed, for obvious reasons.
[She gestures a hand in regards to the two of them. Can't exactly stay away from your Moirail.]
I will have a talk with her later, after this event is well in the past, and she can think rationally about this.
I'm sure everything will work out how it should. It always does in some way!
[And despite everything, and what he just said about his supposed love life, and physical well being, he was actually in a decent mood.]
Ah! I wouldn't want that with Hinata kun. I couldn't... dislike him? In that way. No matter what he is brimming with hope, and it's always calming to be near him. Even as things are now, and with what he has, there is a connection between us that isn't going to go away. We are classmates, and... we are bound together, in a way. I'm not really worried about anything beyond that. And... I don't feel it would be safe for anyone else. Though, one can't control the feelings of the heart, they will go where they want. So, it's fine as is.
[Sadly later, he had tried to apologize and made the entire thing worse.]
I know I made some missteps... and, things didn't really work out the way I had intended. I'm used to things not going how I mean to have them, but... I'm generally used to them still getting the desired result in the end. I didn't think it would turn into such a mess.
But, again, I feel this is alright. Because either something lucky will happen from this unlucky situation, or, this was how it was suppose to go to get the right result in the end!
Well, I will say that I am glad that it did not work out as intended, despite the resulting mess.
[A non-exploded Karkat is a good Karkat.]
And you got closure on your feelings, hopefully mending any rifts between you and Hinata that have resulted from keeping them a secret. I consider this to be a better result overall. Moving on, I recently received an item from the tree that I would like to get your opinion on.
[Kanaya stands up to grab the gold framed painting from the corner of her room. It's hard to see what is on it until the troll sits down and flips it back around. That sure is an immaculate painting of one Enoshima Junko. Based on the plaque, it's titled "Girl with the Bear Hairpin".]
While the work is impeccable in quality, I am more interested in the person depicted in it. Her hairpins bear a striking resemblance to a certain monochrome bear, so I hope it is not presumptuous of me to assume that she is involved in what happened in your world?
Ah... yes! The mastermind of the second Mutual Killing Game. From what I understand she's dead. But, I only know what the one article about the survivors of that game said. Hinata kun could tell you more though.
[And probably have a small heart attack at the sight of it.]
[Poor Hinata. Kanaya doesn't mean to cause him so many heart attacks.]
So there were two total then? while I have learned some about this from you and Hinata, I haven't had it explained in full yet. If it is acceptable, I admit that I am quite curious about it.
There were at least two before ours. But, the information is a little lacking. five student survived the previous one, and one student survived the one before.
Though... that one the information I had was definitely misleading.
[He pauses a moment, and as much as he isn't against sharing the information or freely talking about all of that stuff, he's not sure if he should really talk about Hinata and what he has gleamed of that time.]
It's hard to say, and... it involves Hinata kun. He really knows more about all of that than I do, I just know that my original assumptions are wrong.

I'm not suppose to talk to her again.
