...but this?
this is his choice. wrapping magilou in his arms and looking for what good remains in their situation, having no regrets about pursuing her. she's truly incredible in her own way, and he admires the way she tries her best even when he knows she would find it easier to run away.
but she keeps not running away from him, and that makes him want to stay close, even if it means they'll hurt when they have to part.
it's part of being alive.
and they're still alive, so they have to embrace it.]
You're so kind and benevolent, Magilao. [as ever, he doesn't call her out on the fact that she's already been calling him that for a while.

I won't complain if you think I'm worthy of the title. [despite, you know. everything.]
