"Aya..." Maria whispered to her. "You were my favorite student. I enjoyed seeing you answer questions so energetically, I enjoyed admiring your body... I loved you, in my own way. I apologize for how I've showed it to you, but I promise I will never forget you."

She touched her lips to Aya's one last time.

"Goodbye."

She then pulled the blade across Aya's neck, cutting deeply and severing her throat, jugular vein, and carotid artery, allowing Aya's blood to spray forth from the wound.
