Everything's such a mess now.

Things are always a mess.

It's so stupid.

. . .Isn't it normal?

...Eh?

To be a mess. Feeling lonely or scared. Having regrets and big fights and making huge mistakes. We're just humans. I don't think it's stupid at all.

...That's what being 'normal' means. I don't know... if it's something we're really allowed to do.

Sure it is. Why not?

Doing things for the good of everyone and being true to your feelings are sometimes very different things.

. . .

That's true. And sometimes you fail or succeed. And the stakes can be pretty high here.

Aah, tomorrow always comes.

[...shifts uneasily]

Um... what now?

. . .

Ah. . . well. . .

Let's not fight?

...I can do that...

Okay. I can do that too.

Um... does that... mean we shake hands or sign some documents in the presence of a witness or something?

Er... Shaking hands would be fine?

[derrrrrrp]

I don't know! I've never done this before.

It's okay, I mean, I don't think there's any rules? We're just deciding it...

[s...sticks out a hand stop judging meeeee]

. . . Ah, I don't really know either.

[takes her hand]

[grips]

...I'll trust you in this, okay? And... I'm sorry for all of it.

[...return grip]

I'm sorry too.

I'm pretty broken in by this place.

...It's hard not to be.

[lets her hand go]

Just because we're not fighting anymore, don't worry about going all out on me, okay?

They're my family, so I'll do my best to protect them always. You'll do the same for Lacerta, won't you?

...But sometimes, protecting someone means not letting them make a choice that will destroy the very thing you love so much about them. I think we need to remember that, too.
