somehow it was even worse than she thought - but she listens regardless. and then she'll carefully reach out one hand to rest over the one that he has on the keys of the organ, a gentle touch that he can pull away from if it's unwelcome]
Трудно. Still does not sound easy... I am sorry you had to do that.
[rather than pull away, he just... tenses up, and exhales, as if to stop himself from jerking his hand away.]
There's no point dwelling on it.

My family... [...welcomed me back with open arms, and my mom even hugged me. my uncle is a pretty chill dude, and my cousin is a perfect angel princess. gosh i love them.]
... Mm. Сила. I think... you are very strong person, to keep going.
[it's different from her - who made the choice to be away from her family, and yet misses them every single day. she'd never quite make it to asch's level, even if their situations were more similar]
... Glad you survived. Glad you are here now, and I got to meet you.
... I think this house is not a very nice place - but the people in it are, and I like them all very much. [perhaps more than she should, all things considered,] Возрождение. I know it is not for certain we will get to be alive again... but I think if we are here, with these souls and spirits, it is good to try.
And I hope you get to choose another life for you - where you get to do what you want, and not what you think you have to do.
[he scoffs, gently, a hopeless amusement underneath. what a childish sentiment, he doesn't say. like a little kid, wishing for everything to turn out okay.

but...]
...I'd rather you hadn't had to die for the opportunity.
[his hand relaxes a little underneath hers.]

[it'd be nice if neither of them had to die]

he shifts, a little uncomfortably. what would that even look like? where would it be? was there any point to being alive, if it wasn't on Auldrant?]
...First, we have to try for those who have lives to return to.
We can think about anything past that later.
no subject
[she'll just outright say it]
So... I hope that would make you happy too.

no subject
...Right.
[but it was...... interesting. learning about anya.]
You can stay in here. [as if she needs his permission??] I'm going to go do something.
[he moves to get up from the seat, nodding to her.]
I'll see you around.
