[His smile moves up slightly, fond.]

I appreciate you thinking about me, Flayn. But I'm not mad at you. Don't worry. You had a point, you know.

[fishingforcompliments]

Do you think so? ...I... was not only speaking up for Evan's sake.

[so maybe it was more self-serving than helpful.]

[wowcool]

Hm? Were you speaking for your own sake too?

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes. It could have so easily been any of us in his position - and I could not help but think that if it were me, I would have wanted someone to step in.

[wowcool]

...

You have a point. We all want someone to be there for us.

I completely understand.

[fishingforcompliments]

...does it hurt you, to recall it?

[wowcool]

...

[A shadow seemingly passes over his face, leaving behind a sad smile.]

Recall what? Our time on the island?

[fishingforcompliments]

[she nods]

And your time before the island.

[wowcool]

I don't think "hurt" is the right word, Flayn.

[And yet, he looks...distant.]

[fishingforcompliments]

What would the right would be, then?

[That distant look is concerning.]

[wowcool]

Hm.

Hahaha. "Bittersweet", maybe? That's not right, either, I suppose.

[fishingforcompliments]

[NO

WHY DID I WRITE WOULD TWICE INSTEAD OF WORD. GODDAMNIT. AAAAAAAA.]

...I suppose finding exactly the right word can be difficult.

[wowcool]

...

[He turns away, his gaze sad.]

Three words come to mind, I guess. "I miss him".

[fishingforcompliments]

We will find a way to reunite you with him, Anaido. I swear it.

[wowcool]

...Thank you, Flayn.

[He reaches over, ruffles her hair with a hand affectionately.]

I hope you reunite with your loved ones, too.

[fishingforcompliments]

[She smiles up at him, but her expression is a little sad. It's fine.]

We will. I will accept nothing less than a way out for all of us.
