No, I didn't know anything. But I don't... I really don't think he'd react the way he did to me talking to him if he weren't willing?

[ There's a splash of water, him shifting around out of frustration.]

He was really ashamed to deal with me... so I really think it was just a way of driving the message home. But I don't know. I guess I'll have to wait until I can ask him to know for sure.

But you know... I don't know him that well, aside from how he's treated me. Someone who knows both of them contacted me right away, and she didn't think it was unwilling. She thought that it was because of how their world is.

But - but that's bullshit!

[And here it is, the floodgates opening. A reasonable person would understand that relying on someone else this much isn't good, that putting a person on a pedestal is harmful.

But all Euri can think about are all the things Genesis has told her, about being strong.]

This is why he left the mansion! It's why he moved in with Zexion! He didn't want this anymore! Was he just lying??

[She's already sounding shaky and sniffly, because if he lied about that who knows what other things he's lied about?]

[aidreamofsenpai]

I wish I knew, Euri.

[ He doesn't know what to tell her, not at all. ]

But so many people from their world are here, and come and go... don't they? I think... I don't know, maybe it's things we can't understand because we're not from there? Things between them? What little I've heard about it sounds so complicated...

[ He sighs, and there's more insolent splashing. ]

I'm going to talk to him about it, ask him why. But he's too drugged up right now, so I have to wait. I just think that... I don't know, with the stuff people were talking about recently, about the city, maybe it seemed more important to him than the reason he moved out?

[occulthymns]

Maybe he's just weak.

[Thinking it hurts, but saying it out loud makes it feel like raw nerves are getting pummeled over and over. She isn't just ranting, either; she thinks the worst part of it is that it may very well be true.]

If he's willing to throw his beliefs away....

[Then she can't call him strong. She can't trust him to be strong.]

I gotta go.

[To go cry somewhere, from the shaky tone in her voice.]

[aidreamofsenpai]

All right. You take care of yourself.

[ But he has to get in one last thing, and then he'll let it go himself. ]

I'll find out what I can from him when he's sobered up, but maybe you should tell him you feel this way yourself. He at least deserves to know, even if he only proves you right.

[occulthymns]

M... maybe, yeah. [Of course, confronting Genesis sounds terrifying.]

Good luck, Ai.
