Nero keeps their wide eyes on Cassi as they watch her movements, unable to mask the immense feeling of gratitude washing over them. It’s not just that Cassi is going to let Caden and Nero bond - it’s that she’s willing to move past their history. Nero didn’t realize how deep their guilt had been rooted inside them until Cassi sets the flower in their hand and they watch as a fat tear falls onto it. 

[color=#9B111E]“Oh.”[/color] Nero mumbles before quickly trying to wipe their tears with their free hand. [color=#9B111E]“I…”[/color] The tears keep falling as they curl over the hand holding the primrose. [color=9e0b0f]“Thank you...”[/color]

Kiki snorts at Caden’s comment even with her eyes still closed. She finds her center and listens as Caden lets her know what he’s doing. She finds his little spark and imagines using it to light one of the oil lamps from grandma’s home. She starts to feel hungry just as she sets the lamp to a very low burn, barely emitting any light. 

[color=FFF79A]“Am I doing it?”[/color] Kiki’s jaw is clenched in concentration.
