Re: Night 104

. . . What do you think I'll do?

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

...

I don't think you value yourself at all.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

It would only be for your sake.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

I think you value me too much.

[she says, even though she'd sacrifice herself for cygnus without a second thought]

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Like you feel differently about me.

I'll try, I will, but I also started all of this prepared for what could happen.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[hey she's trying to be a total hypocrite in peace aqua]

And I didn't. You're not seriously telling me you'd sacrifice yourself for me, right?

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[has already stopped brushing her hair, not touching her]

Lyra, I'm sorry. But I can't, won't, live without you.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[she abruptly pulls away, so that she can turn to face him]

But I can live without you? You can't make that decision for me!

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Lyra, don't— I don't want that to happen, either.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Then why even bring it up!? Any plan you have that could involve you getting hurt needs to get fixed!

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[okay, hugging her, don't spiral out]

Lyra, I'm not trying to scare you. The only plan is to finish the movie and confront him. I just don't know what could happen after that.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

But something happening to you is still part of the what if and I can't handle that! I spent forever looking for you—

[too bad it's her turn to spiral a little]

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

[petting her hair]

I know. Us meeting again was a miracle, and I'll never forget that. Plus, all of our friends and Miyako and my own dreams . . . There's a lot I still want to do. I want to protect our future, Lyra, I do.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

I know, but—

... I don't have a future without you.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

And I don't have one without you.

So . . . Let's finish it together.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

[She's quiet for a moment, calming]

... Okay. Together. It has to be together.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Yeah . . . I, honestly— I'm not sure about confronting him. So, it would help if you were there.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

You know I will be. I wouldn't just leave you to deal with it alone.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

I know . . . You've always wanted to help.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Because we're family.

No one has to do anything on their own.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

. . . That's still new to me. I've been on my own for awhile.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

I was on my own, too.

... But you know that movie, Lilo and Stitch, right? Family means no one is left behind or forgotten. That's what I want for us.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

Mm, I think I get it . . . Despite you using a broad pop culture reference.

Re: Night 104

[aididitmyway]

Hey, I was just trying to get the point across using movies.

... but still.

Re: Night 104

[aiwillneversmile]

There's a lot of themes and messages in that movie that I don't think you're aware of.

Still, it's a nice thought.
