[save_theworld]

⚹Nailed it.]

I know.

[It isn't the same. Not at all.]

We're here to make sure that doesn't happen. This was... I don't know, but it didn't last and that's the important part.

[He gently rubs their head.]

We're gonna make sure you're not forgotten, okay, kid?

...That's a promise.

[save_theworld]

[...A promise. Well, when he's got that sort of integrity, how's Grit supposed to say no?

They need to check in with Seigi, later. Another talk and likely, more tears to go with it. But right now- they're feeling better than they have in a really long time.]

Okay. Um...

Can I stay with you? [A whisper, but they at least lift their head to look at him. At least they smile.] I was feeling...really bonely.

[punnybone]

Heh.

[It's gonna take a little bit before things feel totally normal again, but they're getting there.]

'Course you can.
