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.

[She's quiet for a bit, she wasn't... expecting that. At all. Before she shifts, turning and throwing her arms around him.]

I'm sorry, Cygnus...

[still for a beat, then hugging her back]

It's fine. It didn't bother me that much before. But not having any family made having one mean that much more. You know how it is.

Mm... I do.

It's always bothered me... I mean, I've told you all that, though, and it's why I was so mad when it felt like you betrayed mama. But even when you were still sensei, you always felt like a big brother. You were family, even if we weren't related then. We didn't have to be related to be family.

Yeah . . . It's sad, but we were better to each other than our own families were to us, huh? Just a doctor and a patient. I still hate your parents, and . . . And I can't forgive my grandparents. We didn't ask to be born the way we were.

Your grandparents didn't treat you well?

... We didn't ask for any of it, but I'm still happy we found each other.

[keeping her close but looking off]

They ignored me? It wasn't like how it was with you, but I could tell my grandfather hated me, so he never talked to me much, and my grandmother . . . She was always thinking about the child she lost. I tried to stay out of the way, do the best I could . . .

You were the first person I connected with. It's been painful, but I'm happy I met you too.
