We had each other back home, so this is really no different. But you... you've become such an important person to him and I just wanted to say thank you. King needs more people like you in his life, so I'm glad he found one.
[ Oh. Jeeze. She's really touched... But!! She can't really take too much credit... ]
I didn't really do anything special, though. At least... it was more like we just happened to be the ones there for each other when nobody else could be. But we all care about him.
[ She just. You know. Has certain special moments in common with him. ]
[ he continues to lead her in the dance though his gaze has dropped to his feet. ] It might not seem like it, but I think so. I think he might have had a lot of concerns about himself, about... us..., so having someone there to keep him grounded and from seeing himself as a... [ he trails off. ]
But it means a lot to me, because King means a lot to me! I hope we can become closer too. [ he smiles at her and moves to twirl her~. ]
[ She'll twirl with him, moving her body in such a way as to follow along compliantly. There's something there that he didn't say, though, that she needs to understand. ]
[ she doesn't seem to be aggressive, although dancing doesn't really suit the somber atmosphere she's giving off either. ]
I suppose there is no particularly good time or way to tell someone a thing like that.
[ She wonders--if it had been her in his shoes--how she would have been able to tell, or show, someone she cared about something like that. To be the one to give them the devastating news.....
She's really not sure she could. ]
... I have to ask. Since you remember doing it--do you remember why you did it?
[ There's no accusation there. Just the need to understand. ]
I think it's something we had both kind of assumed... since he, ah, possessed me throughout a majority of our relationship back home, but to have it confirmed... I... he...
[ he retrieves his hands from her, because he doesn't feel like dancing anymore. tbh, he doesn't feel like doing much of anything now. ]
I... don't know for sure. But thinking back to all of the memories I have it seems like we were working towards finding out his name and unlocking his memories. We went through so many different trials and tribulations to get to that point and then... [ n- no. shit. he feels his emotions start to well up inside him. ] I don't think we talked about it. It kinda seemed like we both just kind of accepted that this is what we had to do.
It... It didn't help that a few people seemed to be pushing us and I... I didn't want this. [ he takes a step back. ] I still don't. King is my, he's my everything... [ he can't stop at least a couple of tears from rolling down his round cheeks, but he's careful to wipe them away, since he's going to end up smearing his make-up. ]
I don't care what it takes. [ he tries to steel himself with mild success. ] King is... I'm going to make sure he gets what he wants this time around. He deserves to be happy. I owe it to him to make sure he's happy...

she'd be happy to talk about their henshins but--she's a bit distracted. He's glad there's someone like her here for King?? ]
What? Isn't that what I should be saying?

Is that why you didn't tell him?

[ but the way she'd said that has him bristled, so much so that he stops dancing. ]
