[Maybe he should be glad that simply because he's holding her close that she can't see the pain in his expression, although she does, however, feel him shake his head. Not to mention that his words, the way he says them... it's rather telling.
It doesn't take a genius to tell that much.
But it's when he starts to compare himself to his past self that she pulls herself away from him again just so she can look at him properly, wiping her wet eyes that were filled with tears so she can shake her head.]
That isn't true, Leon. I mean it, really. I'm not just saying it because I care about you. [She says those words soft as she stays close to him, but there's definitely affection in them.] You yelled at me because you care about Xiaolang. It wasn't for your own selfish reasons. But... I guess we have to both understand that we can't just protect him forever. I'm fine if you don't agree with my decision to tell him.
[Her words ring true; she's definitely not lying.]
He's not a child anymore, though. Maybe to us, who are older, he's still a little childish in some ways. But I can't just hide the truth forever. Even if I could come up with some sort of bullshit story about what I remembered-- [Because she totally could have.] I wanted him to know the truth. I told you, didn't I? That if we're becoming our past selves by getting their appearances back, their items back, there's no way that I'm not going to wake up one day and find out that I have the Hinamizawa Syndrome. And I might not even know that I have it until it's too late.
[And it's then when she finally wraps her arms around him again, pulling him close as tightly as she can, not wanting to let go.]
I don't know if I can stop myself from hurting someone when it does, Leon.
[Her fingers tremble even as she's hugging him, showing just how terrified she is.]
I don't even know who I'll end up hurting. Because I know that even though I don't want to become 'Sonozaki Shion', I'm not too different from her. That's why... I told him. I trust him. And that way, if something does happen, he'll at least understand why.
