Mikey's words hit like a smack across the face, nearly taking that forced smile with it. Staring at him in shock, even as her shadow continues to drip venom, he has her attention. Commands it like he's so much larger than he is. Why is he saying all of this? Why does he even care? She knows all she does is annoy him. Searching his eyes for a reason behind his words, Hibiki takes a deep breath. The people who love her, huh..?
Does she want to drive all of this down into the earth like she always does, pushing her feelings as far away from her as possible... or does she want to try to face them head-on? ]
Wouldn't know if it was. The only ones who did love me are either gone or felt obligated to because of who or what I am.
[ Her gaze slides away as her brows knit as she chooses her words carefully. ]
So I need to shield them from all that; I need to take care of them so they don't have to see how hard just living can be. Especially when you're something people don't want in the first place, or something that might scare them if they knew the truth.
[ So if he isn't scared of her and doesn't seem to be pushing her away, where does that fit in the equation? ]
