[he takes her hand and settles as well, carefully, then leans against her.]

[ warm! She huddles close ]

I wanted to thank you. For a lot of things. But also to reiterate that I am taking your feelings seriously.

...Thanks. It means a lot, to know you are.

And in putting myself in the opposite position of a confession... I have a greater appreciation for what you said.

Oh, did you tell him?

[ Gosh, he's really sharp. Glances up to get a better read of him, before answering: ]

Yes.

[earnestly excited for her?]

How did it go? Is it okay if I ask?

[ Blinking as she's trying to process his reaction. Why was she so worried he'd be troubled by it?? ]

He accepted my confession with a piano piece.

[he has the capacity for jealousy but he hasn't ever thought he'd get to keep her for himself, so,]

Whaaaat, that's super cute!

[ Shoves her face in his chest, turning red ]

I had to figure out how to search for the song by melody to figure out the title. It was... I just... I was fully prepared to be in the background, because Izanagi is here and...

Then it didn't happen.

[petting her hair gently]

You're more important to people than you know. I'm glad he returns your feelings.

[ clings tighter ]

Please don't think of yourself as a replacement or less important in my eyes.

[it's okay if he is though??? like it'd feel kinda bad but he can live with that

that is not the reaction she wants tho.]

...Okay. I'll be careful not to think like that.

[ No, it isn't the reaction she wants. She wriggles up to get nose to nose with him. ]

I'm serious.

[help]

I know you are. And... you probably like us for different reasons, right? So I don't gotta get insecure or anything.

[ Even though she hesitates at that, she's still internally screaming, unable to calm down or sit down ]

Well. Yes. But I understand that even if one understands that rationally, it's all too easy to feel like it isn't true...

...Yeah. That part might be hard. But I'm really happy for you, so it's worth it.

I just really want to make you happy. I'm so sure that I'm going to fail.

I don't really know how to give you tips there, but... I think wanting it is a strong start.

And there really isn't anything to worry about. Chrys' other important person was literally made for him.

[ this is not a joke ]

...Sounds t'me like you're the one worried about being a replacement or less important...?

No— it's fine, really— the whole reason I was willing to accept being forgotten at all was because I knew that's how things are...

But that's not how it's going. So are you prepared for seeing that kind of thing when it actually involves you?

True Love seeks nothing in return, so I'm happy with whatever I'm given.

If they get to the point where expresses affection for Izanagi, that's their business.

Okay. But remember you can talk to me if things get stressful, 'kay?
