[ Hien frowns a little, but relaxes his expression shortly after. You sure know how to effortlessly break a heart, Elysium. He can't even ask if it's really that wrong to do such a thing. ]

"Right, so it's a burden."

[ like how he is the burden ]

[ it is very wrong to ask emotionally unavailable men to be emotionally available with their feelings of vulnerability, yes. in elysium's case it is his currently very tenuous relationship with happiness. ]

It is. It's enough for me to be content.

[ well, he isn't wrong. there are enough people emotionally invested in him that it's giving him hives, but he isn't about to say that to his lil teens. never mind he technically isn't that far off from them in age, whatever. ]

[ It's fine. Teens are people too. ]

"But are you? You keep doing things that make me think otherwise."

[ He has been looking at Elysium this entire time while walking and he gets the feeling that he shouldn't push more than this. ]

"... Fine."

[ He quietly sighs, knowing that he comes with all these things. It's fine. He's aware.

They reach the Heart.

"Thanks for spending time with me, even though a part of you probably didn't like that very much. I'll see you later."

[ He disappears in a blink of an eye, figuring that he should leave as soon as possible for Elysium's comfort. ]
