[ If Sayo likes the sound of Jessica sputtering and squeaking, she'll get hear plenty of it when her Domain reflects her fantasy back at them. Jessica's mouth opens and closes several times as she wheezes, sounding not unlike the beginnings of one of her old "asthma attacks." Dizzy with happy embarrassment, she tries to find something else to focus her eyes on, but it's no use: that intoxicating fantasy has already seared its way into her neurons. It's an image she won't soon forget. ]
Oh, s-s-s-sorry! Eheh...
[ Not that she's even sure what she's apologizing for right now.
She clears her throat, with one of those adorable crooked smiles she does when she's really flustered, feeling as though steam is rising out of her ears. It's hard for her even to think, like her mind has turned into joyful white static, but she takes a breath, not wanting to miss a word as Sayo speaks.
As the temperature between her ears stars to cool a little, her beloved spills her heart, all floral yearning words. It is as though some enormous weight on Jessica's chest was disappearing, replaced by a pure light that expands to fill every inch of her being. Without thinking, an enormous smile appears on her face, and fat tears start rolling down her cheeks. She tried her best not to lean too far into hope, for fear of having them dashed again and hurting them both with false expectations.
But Sayo is right. They both know how they feel, and they both want this. The road that brought them here passed through hell, but now they've climbed through the mountains of purgatory, and there's no place she'd rather be than in the paradise they found beyond that perilous climb. ]
Sayo, I— I love you. I love you so much. I-I believe in us, and that means Himiko too! You told me, didn't you? That that's how magic works. Then I want us to believe in that magic, together.
[ She beams, rubbing the pad of her thumb in little circles onto the back of Sayo's hand. ]
I'm so happy to see you like this. You're... amazing. I feel like I can finally see the real you, and the more I see, the more I understand, the more I love. It was like I was searching for you all along, but I was doing it the wrong way... but it's not just on my end.
You chose to live. You're so much happier now, and confident, and you've come so far. Nobody deserves that more than you, Sayo. It just... makes me so happy! And if you want me by your side, while we make new futures together, that would make me even happier.
[ Taking a cue from Sayo's fantasy, she raises her beloved's hand to her lips, and kisses it. Her skin is so soft, and pleasantly cool. ]
Hehe, my heart feels like it might explode right now, you know? That how good it feels to have such a cute, charming, smart, cool, and drop-dead gorgeous girl love me!
