[ she squeezes his hand back, sort of belatedly and sort of as a 'thank you.' ]
I just hope that we can find the lost souls soon. I know that everyone is worried about their new friends. I'm worried too. And figure out the source of this error so that it doesn't happen again.
It is... but I think it's how I've become after things changed for me on our island. I got to be a lot more immature when all my friends were alive.
[ idly swinging their hands ]
Adolphe was the leader of the Corps, and then he died. So I became leader. And then Scien as our country's god, but when he became... unavailable to us, we had to figure out how to hold ourselves together.
And then when Scien started going against the population itself... it's not like I had room to fall apart.
This situation is hard... but I don't think it's the hardest thing I've ever done.
So all the previous times everything went wrong, you were forced into a position of authority. You had to be the one to keep things together for everyone else.
... It's harder, from that position. This position. But I prefer it over having to rely on others and their judgments.
... that's true. There's a certain level of control you get when you're the one calling the shots.
[ . . . ]
But I think I didn't realize until I came here... how much I missed Adolphe and Monsieur Lucas telling me that things are going to be okay, and believing them.
Control. But also new limitations. More of them than anyone you're taking care of can see or understand.
[ she looks at yves for a moment, because she really really understands that. but it's been a long time since she was baby... and now she has to be in charge. she has become Boss Baby. ]
Adolphe can't tell you right now because he's still lost. [ you didn't need to say this part. ] And Lucas is probably as nervous as the rest of you.
So we'll be the ones to tell you that things will be okay. It's up to you to believe us. But we're right. So you should.

[ ............ ]
Well, I'm definitely glad to know you, at least.
no subject
he laughs at that, smiling as he squeezes her hand ] I'm really glad to know you, too.
Have people been causing you all that many problems...? Can I help at all?
[ be nice to his angels... he love them... ]

People who are upset have good reason to be. They're not wrong to come to us with that anger.
no subject
... you all say the same things... so I won't get involved.
[ he'll stay in his lane. but. ]
But I know you're all doing your best. And I do think that's worth acknowledging, too.

You will. I believe in you all... and you all know how much trust I'm placing in you, since I'm waiting for my best friend.
[ but he says it with such confidence nonetheless ]
But... yeah. I think we're all hoping for the same things.

It's impressive that you stay so calm. But that's just how you are, I suppose.

I do.
[ and it comes without hesitation ]
I think... Adolphe and Monsieur Lucas still have a way of being a familiar comfort for me that they're easy to believe in their own way but...
When I'm with the three of you, I really do believe you that everything's going to be alright.
