[ sorry, she'd been watching with a kind of wry expression, like something nostalgic that makes you sad but you're also a little over it, so his reaction makes her laugh out loud ]
He did. Eventually. [ she traces over yves' reflection in the mirror this time ] I'm not sure hearing it helped, considering what happened, but I knew he loved me. It just wasn't enough when he always put the weight of the world on his shoulders.
[ okay good - he sighs in relief at that and then smiles because he can now fully support the relationship ]
I think... there must be people out there like that. Where responsibility and duty outshine the love that they feel, but I don't think it means that love was any less important.
[ YVES PLEASE he supports love so much. she hesitates ]
Right after. And then he said he didn't mean it like that, even though he did, and then we-- did some things. I guess the first time he said it for real was right before he uploaded.
It's complicated. I think at that time he didn't want--he thought I deserved better? I guess? Or deserve something normal, at least. Yves, we were teenagers. That's like, the stupidest age to be alive.

I wouldn't want to change your mind about love... I'd just want you to get all the love you deserve, too.
I'm happy for you both.
no subject
I want that for you too, you know.
no subject
Ahaha... It'd be nice. I'm still just looking for someone to love me.

You're so kind that it's scary... ]

Yves. I don't care how sad and in love a guy is. If he's stabbing someone over it, you don't offer to help him get back with the woman who said no.
[ yeah yeah circumstances or whatever NO THIS IS HOW ABUSIVE MARRIAGES START YVES ]
no subject
I do think that her being a Reliver changed things since they were really in love before... but I understand.
no subject
[ just don't stab people! wow! ]

He had a reason, though....
Sometimes you do unreasonable things for love.

You probably are... I just don't know if I know how to change anymore though.
Sorry. I must make a lot of work for everyone who frets after me.
no subject
[ no that's changing. ]
no subject
[ . . . and he just laughs a little bit ]
I think... I got worse at it over time, but seeing things like this... do remind me of when I drew my line a bit better.
