[ After the others say their piece, Argenti figures he should too.

His words are gentle as he speaks out to her: ]

...You're safe now, Miss Mafuyu.

And right now...we are all here for you.

[beathollow]

Argenti. ... Thank you... I heard everything.

[beautifulknight]

[ ...ah. He should have expected that, but he smiles.

It's warm, welcoming, and soft. ]

Of course.

...I could not stay quiet, and it is the same for the others. Everyone here has been willing to show how much they cherish you.

And I do not think that will ever change.

[beathollow]

... Its for me, isn't it? And not the good girl everyone wants of me... Its.. the broken me...

[beautifulknight]

...The true you, yes.

[ Even if that means it is the individual with a heart that has been broken time and time again. And with time, he hopes all of their love for her means it will eventually heal. Even if the painful memories remain. ]

[beathollow]

I didn't think so many would want something like me.

( ... there is a reason her shadow took the form of a marionette, after all. )

[beautifulknight]

[ Ah... ]

...I am glad we had the opportunity to prove you wrong.

We will continue to help support you, no matter what. Whatever you continue to wish for - your happiness. It shall be rightfully yours - I firmly believe this.

[ Unhindered, by those who are afraid of her having success in being the person she wishes to be as an individual (like her mother), now that Mafuyu has those so willing to support her, himself included. ]

[beathollow]

... I don't really know what I want, yet. Is... that okay?

( she actually sounds hesitant to ask, but- its the one thing that's eluded her for years now. 'who am i?' 'what do i want?' questions she'd never been able to ask, but now... )

[beautifulknight]

[ Argenti gives Mafuyu a little nod at that. ]

Yes, I believe it is.

This is your chance to make a true new direction in your life.

...It may take time, but I firmly and ardently believe you shall know what you desire - and whatever else you wish to encompass your happiness at the right time.

[ It is him being optimistic, but he also has faith in Mafuyu's decisions. In the person she wishes to be, going forward. ]

It will still be challenging at times, yet things are different now. And I have faith you will stride forward, unwavering.
