You're right, I'm sorry. I'm just-- not accustomed to this sort of thing.
[To having wounds that can't be instantly healed--physical ones, anyway. To being weak and vulnerable where everyone can see it. To feeling stifled and alone all at once, without the warmth of his brothers' embrace to hide in.

[To... being hurt in this form? Lili's not sure what he's not accustomed to, but she's quiet and nods once shortly. A silent acceptance of his apology even though her words that follow don't immediately answer his question:]
Only apologize for trying to hide it... It's just causes more trouble, that's all.
[But she's. Not mad. Frustrated and worried, but not mad. Then she gives his question a thought and frowns.]
... I don't want to. So I don't.
[She's.
Really simple - but also the idea of losing her family and loved ones like that.... could she really go on if that's the truth?]
