[ When she asks if he's mad, he lets out another sigh. The truth of the matter is that he's not mad at her. Learning that she definitely loved someone else in her past life is a hard blow but that really didn't matter so much, the only thing he was worried about was it effecting their relationship. Would she fully remember the extent of her feelings for Satoshi? ]
... No, I'm not mad. It's something that was in the past and so long as it doesn't effect our future. I have no reason to be mad at you.
[ Even with his doubts, he just had to keep trusting in Mio. He believes that their love will be able to overcome this situation.
He's completely silent as he listened to her story. Though Leon's heard glimpses of her memories through their telepathic link, actually listening to them coming out of her mouth is a whole different story. It made his heart ache even more as he watched her tearful expression and heard her sad voice.
It's a lot to take in. To say he's horrified would be an understatement but it's not directed towards her. He hated that she had to endure such a terrible past life and recall every single one of these awful memories. It really takes a toll on someone. His heart ached for Mio. She's just a seventeen year old girl trying to live her life... and this is what she gets.
She doesn't deserve this.
He mirrors her and also rolls on his side, facing her while also tenderly placing one of his hands on top of her trembling fingers. Leon places a soft kiss on her forehead as his other hand slides over and starts brushing his fingertips through her hair. ]
I promise I won't tell Xiaolang about any of this. Truth be told, I heard some of your memories while we were apart during that time. [ As he stares at her, his facial expression is soft but his eyes were filled with sadness for her. ] It's shocking to hear but my heart is in pain for you, Mio. It hurts me that you have to recall all of those terrible memories. I am relieved you are telling me this, I was quite worried after we had that conversation when we got back from our missions.
[ As he continued to string his fingers through her hair, he pulls her in closer to his body, so she can feel his warmth. ]
I'm not going to condone or reprimand on killing. You... already know I've killed people in my past life as well. Just remember this, you are innocent in this lifetime and you didn't do any of those things. Mio, to say that you have made people happy in this life would be a huge understatement. You're a smart, kind and charming girl. You have a lot of friends that care about you, parents who love you and myself who loves you as well. So don't forget any of that.
[ He understands how it feels. Fortunately for him, his memories aren't near as terrible as Mio's but if it ever gets to that point, he feels like he would have a hard time separating himself from his past life. ]
What hurts me more than anything is you remembering your death. No one should have to relive something so horrible. You don't deserve that in the slightest.
[ There is something he needs to address, in regards to what he heard during the car ride. ]
I will say this. I'm... also secretly terrified that everything before this application isn't real. It hurts to think about my parents whom I care about might not be real. However... [ His hand that was cupped over her hand, begins to lace his fingers with hers. ] What's happening right now is real. My love for you is one hundred percent real. Even if my memories before this application are fake, it's not going to change how I feel about you. I love you for who you are and if there's one thing I'm grateful to this application and city, it brought us together.
You make me a better person and your presence brightens up my day. So no matter what happens, I'll always be here by your side. I'm absolutely determined to bring you happiness in this lifetime, Mio. Of course, I can't say how Shion would feel but I like to think she would want you to be happy as well. You are my reason to smile everyday and healed me in ways no one else can. So, I want to do the same for you.
[ After that long monologue, he finally manages to smile at her; it's one that's filled with nothing but love for the girl he's fallen madly and deeply in love wiht. ]
jfc this wins for the longest tag i've ever written
