[she's very, very warm, but not burning, when she does in fact come a little closer and curl up against his chest.]
I made a promise that I wouldn't sacrifice the few for the many, or the many for the few. Ever. And I broke that, when I came here, but I can fix it. Somehow. I'm going to help you guys fix it.

Desperate times and we reach for more desperate measures. There's got to be a whole lot of us here right now who decided to come here for similar desperate reasons.

Think of all the colours of nails I could've painted over the past couple of months.
no subject

I'm not mad, you know.
no subject
That's, uh. Surprising.

It's out of our control. [...] But I'm going to help as much as I can.
no subject
... I'll take that over a knife to the side, Lup.

Did you guys come here the same way as us? You were offered a wish in exchange for being here?

it makes sense. hearing that. doesn't change their positions or where they are now, but having seen her memory? ]

Thank you, though. For telling us. You can shout if you need me, whatever it is I can actually do.
no subject
there's a pause, and then she leans up and kisses him. just the once. her lips feel kind of... rough? like rock. anyway.]
