[ He can't actually disappear into the woods because he doesn't want to leave her, but you know it's fine. Because what he can do is summon a kaleidoscope of black butterflies to hide in. There's some mumbling in Japanese she can hear too, between the beating of wings.
[ He laughs and it manages only to be a shade bitter. ]
I'm good at lying except when I shouldn't be, apparently. [ Here, he's going to fully hug her back now too. ]
I still think you deserve someone better than me, but I'll do what I can. I wouldn't have brought Subete, otherwise.
[ Would it have been easier not to? Yeah. But it's important for him to keep moving forward with the truth even if it's difficult and in this case the choice was twofold: he owed it to Subete and he owed it to Marona too because he should share things with people, even if he's being awkward about it.

...It's nice to see your soft side too sometimes.

I'm glad it does. ...I don't think I could have trusted anyone again if it didn't.
no subject
...hm?

But... you were always so kind to me. A lot of people there were, but you saw my past and still accepted that.
If all of that turned out to be a lie... it would have been really hard to trust in anyone's kindness again.
