I don't want to kill anyone here. [She genuinely likes the people here, a fondness for all of them, even if it's not as overwhelming as Yves's.] But that night... I don't know what came over me.
[The emotion shifts to confusion, why did she do that? What made her so desperate?
It was so much easier to go with the lie, instead of admitting that she had the virus.] So we fought each other.
[ ah.... he had guessed as much, but his own emotions only turned to worried—for her, not for him. he's not fearful or wary in the slightest, only just concerned. he frowns. ]
[Because she doesn't want to put that burden onto others- because somebody might decide she has to die. But if he's the one who approaches her... Then he wanted to know the truth.]
Thank you for trusting me. I'll make sure you don't feel like you've misplaced it.
Have you... spoken to the angels? [ a beat, hesitant ] Have you been hearing what they said about people who are afflicted needing to be found or else their souls... might be compromised?

Do you think he was being affected too...?
no subject
I don't know one way or another.
no subject
Okay. I might keep asking him about it... just to know. But... thank you for trusting me. It must've been hard.
Have you told anyone else?

[ he'll just let his fingers run through her hair then, still trying to be soothing above all else ]
I can talk to them about it. I won't mention you. I just... I want you to be well more than anything else. Please believe in that.
no subject
... Okay.
[ She wants to trust in Yves, so... she won't try to stop him. ]
no subject
... I won't ask you to not be afraid. I think I can't ask that of anyone in this situation.
But... it's going to be okay. I promise. And if you ever feel scared, you can still just come stay with me and I'll take care of you.
no subject
[ Worry, fondness, affection, all of them in equal measure when it comes to Yves. ]
Who is taking care of you...?
no subject
Plenty of people. I've never felt this cared for the entire time I was alive. I'm lucky here....
I just want to give some of it back.
no subject
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.
no subject
I think you underestimate yourself. You can do plenty, you know?
Just being my friend and trusting me... it really does mean the world to me.
