[ She rubs her thumb against his cheek, keeping him in her soft hold until he reaches to wipe at her tears with no avail. Rem doesn't think they'll stop any time soon. Not when he looks so broken, so shattered about all of this. Like it's his fault alone.

Not while her heart is torn to shreds. ]

Listen to me, sweetheart. You can't take on the burdens of his choice. Giving him something does not mean the same as pulling the trigger. Did you even know what he wanted them for?

[ She shakes her head and brushes back that spiky hair again. ]

You're allowed to not share his opinions. Leaving wasn't a bad choice, it could have made him realize he did something that you couldn't accept. If he did something like this, I... don't think seeing kindness in humans would have changed his mind more than your opinion.

[ Not when he hates humans enough to be the cause of millions of deaths. God, she cannot handle that. Not her Nai. Not their Nai.

Still, it puts a small but welcome balm to her heart that Vash continues to be so kind. ]

That's a good path, Vash. I am proud to hear that. I'm sure this world needs your big heart.

[ Don't tell her how they treat him in return, she might fall apart. ]
