I didn't lead her down that path! If she had just LISTENED TO ME everything would be fine!

[Okay well if we're having this conversation now then bring it, Aubrey will have a fucking conversation, yelled, furious for everyone to hear.]

She did!

She listened every single day! She did everything you asked!

How much of herself did she have to throw away to make you happy? Why wasn't it ever enough for you?!!

You don't give a shit about her! You don't care who she is or what she wants - you just care about your stupid image of a perfect life with a perfect little doll!

I don't care if she's a mess. I don't care if she never becomes anything big or great. She could be a peasant instead of a princess--

I don't care. And if you're going to try to keep her away from us, I will find her!

I'm not letting another friend die alone!

...

The stifling feeling of being watched leaves Aubrey, and something gently squeezes her shoulder. KAITO's light shines brightly.

You did good. She's gone, for now. ... Thank you. For being her friend.

[She startles at the touch, a little breathless after all of that enraged screaming. But that feeling of being watched is gone now, which means there's no one left to yell at, which means - she pauses for a moment, breathes in slow and deep to regain her calm somewhat.]

...I don't need thanks for that.

[All she wants is to be there for Mafuyu when she needs it most--

To actually make it time, just this once.

She scrubs the tears from her eyes with her arm and steels herself to continue on.]

[ Oh, for fuck's sake. Go off Aubrey, he'll back her up: ]

Oh, just be quiet already.

If you listened to her instead, everything would be fine! But you didn't! You didn't, and now we're here to save her from you, who picked on a child who did nothing to deserve it! She's happier here, with a bunch of people who took the time to care for her and love her like she deserves, than with a woman who tried to manipulate her into something she never wanted to be.

Mafuyu is kind and came to help me and so many others when we needed it the most. We're here to return her kindness, because unlike you, we know what love means.

She's our family now!

Yoon...

Fear is a defining feeling for Len. He's timid and shy and he was born from the pain of a six year old's broken heart and trashed innocence.

Yoon gets the feeling of someone holding his hand.

Thank you...

[ Oh, Len...

Yoon feels it, and he instinctively squeezes Len's hand back, even if Len is intangible. ]

Thank you, too. You've looked out for her. She needs people like you around.

Do you even understand what makes someone want to die?

[The anger in his voice is clear.]

They feel trapped. They feel like there's no way out, no hope for anything ever getting better. And why do you think Mafuyu would feel that way?
