You always offer so much of yourself...
[ Worry, fondness, affection, all of them in equal measure when it comes to Yves. ]
Who is taking care of you...?

[ She wishes he didn't have to die to encounter this sort of care...But she's grateful that he has it now.
A bit of the tightness in her chest is relieved with this answer. ]
We're all so lucky to know you. There's... very little I can do to help, but please... let me know.

[Taking it and leading him through the candy portal and to the cozy kitchen.]
This is where I made the sugar cookie.

I've been reading more now too. Lucas sent me books and worksheets earlier this week.
[ The goose, the frogs, and this memory.
Is this what family is supposed to be like?
She doesn't know, has never known this type of love, never known what it was like to have a family. To be cherished like this seems impossible.
But then there's the shift, burn on his face and they call him monster. That can't be right. How does that love change so suddenly at something that's only a superficial change? Is love really supposed to be so shallow that his own family is calling him a demon? To cast him out?
She looks towards him, to judge how he feels about sharing this memory against his will. ]

[ well.

Sorry you had to see that. I know it can be hard to watch.
[ for a child to go through that and be treated that way, to the point that the child then mangles their own self to try to stay afloat ]

[ Everyone finds their own way of coping. ]
Apology not accepted. You have nothing to apologize for.
I'm worried about you.
Do you understand people do love you?

[ "I think?" ]
... Alright. Good.
[ She has to hope that he does understand it. It's something hard to define, and difficult to put into words. ]

It would. I wonder if we're learning the same things.
[ People should be loved, people should have other people in their lives and be able to build connections to each other. ]
I'm not really used to it either. But... in a different way.
