[Shakes his head against Lucifel.]

You don't need to apologize, Lucifel. It's okay.

[sancrimony]

. . . I thought -

[ soft ]

I thought you didn't want to . . . because . . . it wasn't ever . . .

. . . it was only ever my fault, so . . .

[floriographys]

[Lets up on the hug to look at Lucifel.]

It's... not. [They've all got a hand in it. Nya's sins were not toward WC, but he isn't innocent by any stretch of the imagination.]

Either way, I think it is for the best, don't you? To extend this trust...? Even if we might get burned.

[sancrimony]

. . . I'm sorry, I just. . .

[ mumbled now, his gaze falling to the ground ]

. . . I just wanted to protect that person, if I could. Haruto-san . . .

[ with a pause ]

It would be best for us, if we could have an ally somewhere - but since . . . Onii-san hates them, and Lavender-san does too . . . I don't really mind if it doesn't work out -

. . . But if it could work out, it would be good. . .

[floriographys]

[Nya nods a little at that.]

Haruto-san... right? Mmmh. He certainly seems like someone who could use the help.

...I don't think we'll convince Loki to like them, and maybe not Lavender either, but that doesn't mean we can't work with them to the betterment of both of our units.

[sancrimony]

. . . I work better with being disliked, so. . .

[ with a quiet breath ]

Logically speaking, it's a good option to take. Mm, Nya-san is a rather levelheaded person . . .

[floriographys]

...Do you like being disliked, Lucifel?

[He... doesn't like that thought, but he understands, too. "I work better with being disliked", he gets. Nya doesn't mind personally being disliked, but the problem for him is that it reflects poorly on all of sensitIV, and... they all should get the chance to choose if they are liked as well.]

I'm just trying to do my best. I'm still... just a kid. I think?

[sancrimony]

[ looking off to the side, a little guarded now ]

. . . It's not as if I like it, but. . . in the first place, that sort of thing is. . .

. . . There isn't much of a reason to be liked, and being disliked is just. . . more . . . honest, so it's easier . . .

[ with a pause ]

Mm, Nya-san's age would be . . . well, when I was alive, it would have been freshly adult, I expect. . . ? But -

We share the same age, and I still feel . . . young.

[floriographys]

Mh. I mean, you're not wrong. I... don't mind being disliked. I don't expect people to like me, and yet...

...Sometimes I like to be liked. It's very hard to isolate myself.

And, I'd like other people to feel safe and happy, and sometimes I think that if they like me, rather than dislike me, it might help that more.

[sancrimony]

. . . I don't mind it.

In some ways, it might be better for me to not be around, so. . . I don't mind. . .

[ with a pause ]

. . . No, I'm sorry. I shouldn't say things like that. Mmm, I don't think you're wrong. . .

[floriographys]

I want you to be around, Lucifel. Selfishly, maybe, but I like you. I want to see you happy, too.

[sancrimony]

[ I DON'T KNOW WHAT WORDS JUST CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH just stares like. blankly. uncomprehending. what ]

[floriographys]

[Why are you like this, Lucifel?]

...You're my family.

[sancrimony]

[ oh , i guess i'm cry now he doesn't even register it and then he just kind of ?? ????? EVEN MORE CONFUSION over his eyes watering ] Eh?

[floriographys]

[Just pats at Lucifel's shoulders before kissing his cheek.]

[sancrimony]

[ i don't understand the affection happening here ]

- Sorry. I - thank . . . you . . . ?
