"...A-And Esther truly has no issues with it?" Evelyn asks in a restrained murmur as I take lubricant from my storage ring, breathing deeply to keep my tone neutral.
"Yes, your past won't make me love you any less. I love you, you are my Evelyn, and you're the only Evelyn I need," I say to her, rubbing the lubricant onto both hands.
'In a few hours, it will be time for Evelyn to take her medicine... it's fine, one day's delay won't change much.' I can sort things out with Saluvia later.
"...Esther, I'm sorry for hiding so much... I... I was afraid of what you would think if you knew the truth." When she apologizes instead of getting evasive, it catches me a little off guard and makes me somewhat happy.
"It's alright, Evelyn. I understand why this frightened you... it's a lot of complex things," I try to be understanding with her. I hate the fact that she omitted so much, but I can understand why.
