[So sometimes you go like three days without properly sleeping, and then have a bit of a good morning so you decide hey sleeping won't kill me and then you have a nap!]

[And when you wake up your face is all wet with tears and you're standing over a broken table with a piece of toast in your hand and you don't even remember getting out of bed and what . . . is happening with your life Allen Walker . . .?]

[Also anybody can come visit . . . sure . . .]

Mmm, it's very important . . .

[kind of drowsy, talking into Allen's shoulder]

He's changed a lot.

[starts to smooth his hair]

Yeah... he's still the same in lots of ways, but I think without the pressure of the Order, he was able to grow into someone who could be gentle more openly...

[quiet]

. . .

The other Link . . . I think had noticed that? About . . . him. I think he was trying—to be gentler. He was looking after me a lot . . . when I first got here. I think—he would have anyway, but he seemed to be taking cues . . .

[. . . falls silent again]

...

[tightens his hug a bit]

Yeah. He... even seeing him like that again... it was nostalgic, but it made me realize he was always...

We can still... find him. You came back. He can, too...

[clingcuddle]

I won't stop looking.

... Yeah. Me either.

How did you two end up together like that . . .?

Link and me?

Of course.

Well... He actually pursued me...

You're lying.

Why would I lie. . .! He was so insistent and serious about it that there was no way I had any defense, he just-- it was ridiculous...

L . . . like we have much in the way of defense, ever—? Ahhh, Ticky called me out on that, you know.

[huff]...

I couldn't understand any reason for him to feel that way at all. And I actually... even turned him down first. Because I was with Nova, who'd never been in a relationship like that before at all and was really serious about me, and monogamous, and even though I had no right to turn away Link, I had no right to hurt him either...

But after months and months, Link cornered me and had me admit I loved him too, even though I was trying not to... to lead him on. He never let go, even a little. And Nova opened up, and said it was alright for me to be with him too.

Those two are... the strangest thing that's ever happened to me. Maybe even stranger than Slick.

They're both very protective of you. Ah, I think I've definitely been creating friction with them a little . . . ah, Link, it's fine, but I'm pretty sure Nova doesn't really want to see me.

Ahah. Don't worry, they... are at a level of ease that I have never seen before.

And when we met we just fought all the time. Don't worry about Nova. He's just... very timid and very aggressive at the same time.

Mmm, I can tell . . . ah, we got in an argument over what to do with . . . people who kill people. It's not like I don't understand how he feels, but . . . haah.

Anyway, this isn't really a nice topic. Let's talk about food again.

[hff...]

Hey... you love Link, don't you.

[hrrrk]

[inhales all wrong and starts to cough]

[smooths your back]

Aah, careful, careful.

Asshole—! Don't careful careful me!

Well I didn't mean to make you choke.

E-either way, whether I do or don't, it doesn't matter—?

... What makes you think it doesn't matter?

Ahhh, don't look so serious . . .

[winds his arms around him more comfortably, digging his chin into his shoulder for a minute before getting comfortable again]

You two have your relationship with each other, and you've changed each other. Of course I—love him, but I love every Link. And I know he cares about me too in the same way he always has, but we have to build new things between each other since things have changed. I'd like to get to know this Link, but I'm not going to throw it at him like, hey, I love you too, deal with it! Because it's not something like that. I'm not you. It doesn't mean I can't figure out how he and I should get along as separate from that, but . . . it's not like you'd be trying to seduce the other Link just because he's Link? Right?
