We'll have to wait for nightfall, but that's okay.
It's alright. I'm sure other people would like to talk to you too.
We can meet at the market closer to the right time.

[She takes his hand in hers. Is he still cold?]
The flower garden.

[A very tiny yay in the midst of this weekend.]
...
How are you feeling after today?

... I really wish we could've found what happened to him. But it's not your fault. There was so much to go over it was hard to narrow things down.
It's good we were able to solve one.

[It's not like she isn't aware of her emotions. She knows how upset she is, but she's trying so hard to do what Zhongli asked of her.
She doesn't want to give up, she wants to keep on living- she wants everybody in Heaven to have that choice.]
It's... It's so awful. That we're doing this to each other, that we aren't even in our right minds when we do it. It's cruel.

[ yves will find a place in the garden for them to sit, and encourage firefly next to him. he puts the basket off to the side for now but ]
... yeah. [ softly, sadly ] You're right.
[ but he does let his fingers run through her hair, trying to soothe her in small ways ]
None of this is easy, and I'm sorry that you have to carry so much pain.

[She takes a seat next to him, leaning into the touch.]
I'm sorry you have to go through this too. I know people say experiences are meant to show our resolve... But I wish it didn't have to be these kinds of things.

... I wish for the same. It'd be nice if we could show our resolve in things like dog grooming competitions or who can give the best nap advice.
[ lightly, even as he'll encourage her closer to lean against him ]
But I'd still choose to be here, as long as it meant that I didn't have to leave you alone with the weight you carry.

I don't know if I'd be good at any of that. But I would've liked to try.
[Yves's side is a comforting place to be.]
I know I've said it before, but you're a very kind person. Still... I wish you wouldn't have to choose.
[She wishes better for him.]

I wish you could get to try that too, instead of any of this.
[ but he'll keep her tucked against his side for now, letting his fingers run through her hair as he lets his head rest against hers ]
Mm... I think you're a person worth choosing. And a person who also deserves more than what she's gotten with... any of this.

We can all see you now.
[Gently squeezing his hand.]
[Gently squeezing his hand.]
It's okay, really. I wouldn't say it otherwise.
[ She's a living being named "Firefly", a name she took for herself, because her own creators never bothered with it. Just a series of letters and numbers- a weapon to be used until it was spent.
Certainly, she deserved more than being a weapon.
But somebody choosing her feels... strange. She doesn't know what to make of it, not letting herself dwell on the statement. ]
Why even do this experiment to begin with...? Why give us a choice if it was going to be like this?
