They won't. [he'll brush her hair gently.] No matter what you say to them, they won't think it's anything but a bad dream you had. They got used to this scar of yours too, didn't they..? In time?
[it's a small comfort, even if they're becoming... more aware of the oddities of the city, the people waking to the strange things they'd viewed as normal. it's very punk, but for lily... for people who had worse memories than others, that's not so good, maybe.]
Even so, who do you think they'll think is bad? The little girl they loved and raised with their own two hands, or the one they don't know at all in your memories? Parents want to think they did a good job with what they brought into this world, see, so they won't want to blame you any.
[... not yet, anyway. she's not old enough for them to push the blame off themselves.]
As for people like us, what's it to them? You don't owe them shit, you know? And they don't owe you anything either. But you're a sweet girl, Lily, you just gotta show them the person you are now before they learn what that other one did. They'll know what's true in their heart. And if they don't... I'll kick their asses.
[There was a moment where she was quiet and nodded. It was true they were surprised but then suddenly it was like she didn't have it? It was kind of weird but she didn't want to question it. Besides it makes it easier.]
Well...because she was me, right? That means...we could both do that?
[Fiddling with the hem of her dress she is trying to put into words her thoughts. There is a giggle as he talks about kicking asses.]
Leonii is funny!
I just don't want them to not want...
[About to calm down another memory hits and it was just as bad. Quietly she stares at Leo before she touches her face.]
Or throw me away...
They did that and this...they left me in the woods all alone.
[... being abandoned is the worse. he gets the feeling, he knows it, and he tightens his grip around her.]
They wouldn't do that here. You wouldn't do anything bad here. You're a good girl, Lily, I'll say it as many times as it takes for you to get that, okay? Someone with a sweet a heart as you wouldn't wanna hurt other people, so you wouldn't.
[even if children can hurt others without meaning. they're just like that, but they always, always apologize if they're taught right, and lily clearly was.]
[No sign of moving away from Leo she nods a little halfhearted. The thought that family would do this to someone...let alone parents is a little shocking to her. It's the point she can't really process it in her brain right now.
Unsure she can ask her family if they would...she looks up at Leo. Some worry in her expression.]
[... he doesn't want to be the kind of person that abandons others anymore, no more than he wants to be the abandoned. no matter what happens, he's gotta be there for her. for tsukasa. mm.]
Never. I promise, Lily, so long as you're here I'll be at your side. We'll make a pinky promise on it, how's that? ♪
[hell yea. he squeezes it, then moves their hands up and down to a beat as he sings softly.]
Yubi kiri genman, if we tell a lie, drink a thousand needles and cut our pinkies off. ♪ Well, it's a little shoddy in English, but it's a seal. So if I break this promise, Lily, you can make me do whatever you think would make you feel better. Okay?

E-Eh? That's really scary, Leonii! ...okay. I hope I didn't worry you a lot.

...Is it okay I don't want to go home yet?
