You're not a burden, Sorey. You never have been and never will be.
[...Okay, maybe her tone is a touch fiercer than she intends it to be, and she does send a wordless apology for that. However, she doesn't take back her words. Lailah means them with all her heart.
The seraph embraces Sorey's soul with the warmth of her fire. She appreciates the comfort he's trying to provide her, but she'll give him more comfort than she'll ever ask to receive. After all, Lailah's had to cope by herself more often than not. If she can, she'll spare Sorey that same suffering.]
I'm sorry. What I'm feeling...really isn't helping you.
No- [Sorey shakes their head into their arms, voice fading back into their head.] You shouldn't apologize for that. They're your true feelings.
[And she deserves to feel them, regardless of whether or not they're together right now. No- even moreso, because of it.] We're in this together, right Lailah? You and me?
