…Oh.

@dcstinyscdgc asked : "If all the world hated you and believed you wicked, while your own conscience approved of you and absolved you from guilt, you would not be without friends." (ta.liu) - I'M P SURE IT'S J.ANE E.YRE

"...I haven't felt ALONE in a long time." The answer surprises EVEN HIMSELF, introspective when he snaps away form his thoughts - and he pauses, a faint smile appearing upon previously expressionless face, more genuine than most he wears. It softens and thaws him subtly. Not fourteen anymore, wearing every change in emotion on his face, but still most open with the first person who had been his friend. "I had you. And then I had L.u Y.izhan. And then I met them. I didn't know to miss you, but when I did, you came back."

A soft laugh. "You...did it. I might not be perfectly ordinary and human, but I'm very...happy." He understood WHY X.ie T.a thought he was a monster - for the same reason he does. Because, from beginning to end, the world told them so. They could be nothing else. But - monsters did not trade their souls to protect the ordinary happiness of another.

Yo boss.. you good- ..??
