"Mason?" Myla asked, her eyes widening. She knew what had happened to him -- and to his family, shortly after their friendship ended. Tears then fill her eyes, as she keeps her distance from them. Knowing they would probably not want to be close to her any longer, just like before, since she was a vampire. "I'm so relieved, to see you here."

"moons... you're going to make me cry," sirius said softly, this time, his tone not even laced with humor. sirius reached upwards to stroke remus' cheek with his fingers. "... you didn't have to do that, you know? i would have wanted you to find happiness. even with someone who was not me." that was what true love was all about, right? of course, sirius was more than touched. "i couldn't picture being with anyone but you, of course. you have always been the love of my life." they had differences regarding things, but their compatibility was undeniable. sirius shook his head, placing a gentle peck upon remus lupin's lips.

"are you, um... are you doing okay?" adam asked the person who was at least half-sniffling on the park bench that he had approached. he almost considered patting the other on the shoulder when he realized that physical touch might not be something that they were open to. he did not want to alienate when he was, in fact, trying to cause a positive effect in this person's life. "i don't mean to pry, but i just noticed you and i thought that i would come over to see what is the matter." adam remained where he was standing for several seconds before he patted the open spot on the bench. "may i?" he asked, fully prepared to be turned down, and it was all right if that happened.

"this... isn't what completely fine looks like," amanda mentioned when she caught lilo crying. or at least showing some strong emotions that needed to be processed. "can i... sit with you?" amanda asked, nodding at the open spot on the park bench. amanda sighed as she sat down, regarding her companion with compassion in her gaze. "so... what's up? what's going on?" at least at this point in their friendship, amanda did not have to worry about all of the niceties. "i'm here, you know? in any way that you need me." perhaps silence was preferred. perhaps talking. no matter what lilo wanted or needed, amanda was going to be here in the process. she'd become that type of person. someone who could be relied upon. someone attentive.

"forgiveness? for someone like me? after all that i've done?" amanda said in a half-whisper, shaking her head as her eyes glistened with tears that she was begging, internally, not to fall down her cheeks. "there is no forgiveness for me. i hope for it. i strive for it. but it'll never find me or be mine or however you want to phrase things." she'd done too many awful things. she was involved and responsible and complicit. had she been manipulated and her mind twisted? yes. it was true. but that did not absolve amanda young of responsibility. "do you think that forgiveness will find you?" for them? it might occur.

amanda sniffled a bit, wiping at her nose with her sleeve. she was not crying, but she was not far off from that either. sometimes, she could not ward off the nightmares, not even the waking ones of right now. but she was trying her best, and that had to be worth something. "... a long time now," amanda said vaguely, but it was enough. she did not need to delve into the specifics. "i guess that you read through me like glass, huh?" was she as transparent as glass? it was starting to seem as much. "can we... sit down somewhere and talk? i think that i just need to talk this through, you know?" otherwise, her cognitions would be trapped and that would help no one.

"Jackie?" Nat's eyes widen, tears forming in them. "I... I don't know what to say," She frowns. "I'm so sorry, for everything that happened."
