Bwah...!

[Silver is surprised! But once the surprise wears off, he wraps his arms around Leo, too. Oh no, he's crying. Silver rubs his friend's back]

Feeling what way? What's wrong, Leo?

[eldritcheyes]

I....

[It's ugly and he doesn't want to let it out but he's tired of feeling horrible inside.]

I-- it's not Hestia's fault, she was just doing what she was supposed to... b-- but I was so jealous all the time....

[Jealousy isn't much different from selfishness, and that's something Leo hates down to his core.]

[iblistriggered]

[Ah. Jealousy... That makes sense, now]

... right. With.... everyone hooking up and stuff. It's... really easy to feel lonely when everyone is being... like that.

[eldritcheyes]

All the time, everywhere! And I... I just lost White right before 6350 summoned me....

[It's been almost two years and it still hurts. He told her to be strong, but he misses her so much.]

I don't know how much of this is me and how much is Hestia... it... it's all mixed up and I hate it.

[iblistriggered]

I'm sorry, Leo... [Silver frowns and squeezes his friend] I think... I don't think Hestia can make us feel anything, I think she can only increase or decrease those things. But... hey...! Look at you..! At least you have a chance of finding someone! I'm a bachelor for life, you know?

[eldritcheyes]

You think I have a chance just because I'm human? That doesn't mean anything, Silver. There's a lot of people who go through life alone. I... I don't think I even deserve to find somebody, not when I feel this ugly inside.

[He clings to Silver's smaller form. Getting this out doesn't feel healing like people say it does.]

Can we both just be bachelors for life together?

[iblistriggered]

[not immediately. But just like a splinter, you have to take out the nidus of infection to start healing.

Silver laughs a bit, trying to lighten the mood]

Being human in this world means you at least have a chance. But just because you were jealous once... that doesn't mean you're disgusting or ugly. [he chuckles again] But... that sounds fun, too.
