[the weight that comes off anna's, off A2's shoulders when kainé says that is enough to feel. it's so much more than metaphorical. both souls within this body have spent so much of their lives fighting. they're always fighting, even when they don't know what they're fighting against or why. the grace of being given permission to lay down their arms and simply exist alongside someone else is enough of a relief to bring them to tears. (anna won't. A2 may.)]
Thank you. [that comes from both of them. for a moment, anna can feel two of her hands against kainé.] Love you. [even now, she has problems saying it when she's sober. might as well say outright what everything else has just implied while she's in this haze between existences.] Both of us do.
[is that embarrassing? maybe. probably. god. whatever. who cares. she doesn't have to fight this. there's no battle to fight. her voice gets lazy again more than hesitant. A2 is still present, but anna's speaking for herself next.]

Too good to me.
