[is this sweet talk? ha... it must be. it's the best anna can do in the moment, at least. but then she hears kainé talking about her own wretched husk and the corners of her lips tug downward a little. her fingers trail down kainé's arm, over the back of her hand, to her hip before settling on her thigh.]

I want everything about you. I want you exactly the way you are. [she doesn't want to move her forehead for another kiss. this feels almost even more intimate. closer than a kiss.] You make my body feel like it's mine again. I didn't think anyone would ever want to be with me again, but you're here, and you make me feel right whenever you touch me. Like you still want me even though this body is wrong.

[that's a little too close to the truth right now, but she's comfortable saying it. there's a tug inside her, resistance from A2, but it dies fast; anna isn't the one who owns this body, after all. she's not incorrect to say it.]

I'll never be able to thank you enough for that.
