[takes a beat to register her, then holding on]

I'm sorry. I'm scared. I can't, I can't calm down.

[she shakes her head]

It's okay. It's—it's not okay, but it's okay. I'm here. We're alive. We're together.

For how long? We don't know how these souls work. And everyone always dies on me. I can't lose you, Lyra.

Except I'm here now, and I'm not going to let either of us die permanently. I'll even use my wish to make sure we can't.

Because I can't lose you. I spent my whole life trying to find you.

. . . But you can't control what happens here. No one can. What if we don't even get to go home . . .

We can't, no... but the wishes are real.

One of us can wish we both go home, and the other can wish that we'll always be together.

Because of Sonata and Crois . . . Right? That's how you know.

Mm... exactly.

So we'll make our own future where we're together and safe. Okay?

[loosening his grip on her, breathing starting to become normal again]

Yeah . . . And Clover will protect you, too. While we're here.

And they'll protect you, too.

Spinel made sure we came back at the same time... so we'd be together.

More because she knows us . . . Still, I really can't calm down when you're out of my sight. I wish I wasn't like this.

Then I won't leave your sight. Not now. Not until it's okay. We'll just... figure out how to do things.

[she takes his hands, squeezing them, before tugging him to his room]

We're going to get you into something dry.

[would argue that they should find something better than giving into his anxieties but . . . not mad at getting what he deeply needs either, going along with her]

I'm fine . . .

[they can figure that out when they weren't just freshly dead a hot minute ago]

No you're not. You're gonna get dry, and then we're gonna get comfortable.

[deep sigh]

Can you turn around, then?

I planned on it~

[Because she'll let go, and then turn around.]

[quietly but quickly gets changed, carefully taking her hand when he's done]

So, comfortable now . . . ?

Better. And you probably feel better now that you're not wet, right?

[Because she's throwing her free arm around his neck to hug him.]

[askldjas, but hugging back??]

I don't feel better, but I'm not wet.

I meant physically better, I don't expect new clothes to make you feel all the way better.

I wasn't . . . Yeah, I feel better, I guess. Mm, come here.

[taking her by her hand back to her room and grabbing a brush]

[following... but she knows what he wants to do thanks to the brush, so she's gonna settle in on idk her bed, giving him space so he can get behind her to work or something]

Cygnus always does an amazing job with my hair~ I can't wait.

[sitting behind her, undoing her bun and letting her hair fall down, then sectioning it off to start brushing]

I'll try? Mm, do you want to hear about another one of my secrets? It's not about mom, just something I wanted to keep to myself from awhile ago.

Eh? Sure, of course.

[brushing her hair, occasionally checking her ends]

. . . In my past life, as Gorou, I lost my mother and grandparents. She was still in school, my mom, and hid it until she died delivering me.
