Lili knows this feeling intimately, perhaps even more so since she came to this world without Ayura and Tetora. Yona didn't even remember her. Truly, everyone that she considered close to her was wiped out of her life.
It hasn't gone away.]
You're right.
But it's safer.
[For both herself and the people who try so hard to protect her.]
[ Why, even though there was no longer anyone to keep her promise with, she hadn't gone outside after that fateful day. Why she'd been so scared when Seto had invited her to step into the world that had taken away everything from her.
Lili looks at her for a moment, wondering how this girl could be stronger than she is, and then she sighs quietly. She shakes her head then, a quiet denial of the idea that she could also shed this thinking any time soon.]
If you're happier that you changed your mine, then that's fine.

[ Simply that. ]

That doesn't make us friends....
[Liking is a two-way street!]
no subject
[ That doesn't sound like Atsushi, or Rapunzel... ]
no subject
[that's
too scary, wtf]
no subject
[ This doesn't seem complicated. ]
no subject
Why would I do that? We're not friends!
no subject
[ Lili?? Why wouldn't you want friends? ]
no subject
No - why would I need friends?
[What a pleasant way to pass the time as they avoid certain death.]
no subject
...
Because it's incredibly lonely, being by yourself.
[ She knows this well. ]

[She won't argue with it.]
no subject
[ ... Is all she says, because she's not about to force Lili to try and do that. ]
no subject
Why?
[Why do you care if she does?
Why did you change your mind?
Why does it matter to have friends or not?]
no subject
[ Scared, despairing... ]
no subject
[A quick answer, but a true one, Lili thinks.]
.... I understand your sentiment but perhaps I may have to amend my agreement - there are worse things.
[Like rejection.]
no subject
Maybe I've seen the worse things too.
no subject
[A small huff, though she knows better than to argue semantics.]
Regardless, it's those worse things I worry over compared to just being alone.

She thinks briefly to Yona, to the ache of the other girl not knowing who she is and after a moment it's confirmed: yes, that's pain.]
.... Something like that.
[Yes, exactly that.]
no subject
But not everyone is like that. And even when it hurts, I'm glad I made friends.
no subject
Then that may be the difference between you and I.
I can't stand with the people important to me until I get stronger.

[ But everyone's already told her that she just has to be herself, for as much as she's tried to keep up with them. ]
no subject
[Considering the type of place that they’ve found themselves in here.]
But that doesn’t mean it’s easy or a quick process.
