[burying himself in her, betraying his previous coldness. slightly shaking his head]

I can't, I couldn't risk it. If something went wrong and you . . . I couldn't, Lyra. And I couldn't hurt your future, either.

[aididitmyway]

... Thank you for caring about me.

Just—... we have to fix it, okay? We have to, because I can't live without you. A life without him, but we get to be happy. It'd be stupid to not fix it when we can.

[aiwillneversmile]

We'll fix it. I don't want to leave you. —I don't want to die.

[aididitmyway]

Neither of us get to die. I want you to be alive... you have so much going for you, Cygnus.

[aiwillneversmile]

[don't remind him]

I'm sorry . . . I'm sorry I wasn't at your concert.

[aididitmyway]

...

I'll forgive you once we fix it and you're watching from the front row. And I won't tell Kana anything.

[aiwillneversmile]

[chuckles before immediately being caught in a sob]

I'd be okay just seeing the encore . . .

[aididitmyway]

... I would be, too. Just—We're going to figure it out.

[Does she keep saying it because she's trying to soothe herself or trying to inspire confidence? It's both, honestly.]

[aiwillneversmile]

Yeah . . . Yeah, we can fix it.

[aididitmyway]

And then you're not going to do anything like that ever again.

[aiwillneversmile]

[i won't have to...]

I won't. I promise.

[aididitmyway]

[how do u kno]

If you try anything I'm gonna find a leash.

[aiwillneversmile]

Okay. Go ahead . . .

[aididitmyway]

And you owe Kana the best date you can give her.

[aiwillneversmile]

Lyra . . . I can't think about Kana.

[aididitmyway]

When you can, then.

[aiwillneversmile]

I can't, Lyra. Ever. We aren't going to happen.

[aididitmyway]

[She's gonna be quiet for a bit, then.]

[aiwillneversmile]

She deserves better. And don't argue it. Yet.

[aididitmyway]

I won't argue it.

[aiwillneversmile]

[burying his head more, sighing]

[aididitmyway]

[... nuzzles against him...]

[aiwillneversmile]

. . . I love you. This isn't— Wasn't the best way to show it, but it was because I love you, you know.

[aididitmyway]

Then why don't you ever seem to listen to what I say?

[aiwillneversmile]

When didn't I listen? Just now, I know, but when else?
