[ pure, but... as soon as the hunter on screen starts to cry when the other girl calls him "family," persephone can't help but tear up too. (she's just going to ignore that last little bit with the super ominous shadow, thanks.) ]
[There's a complicated expression on his face when the memory winds down. A little bittersweet. A little fond. A little pained. He fails to notice the fact that Persephone also teared up until she says his name, and he finally looks at her.]
—Persephone? [Hello??? He's immediately concerned.] Are you okay?
[HELP. The combination of the topic and her sympathy crying is going to make him tear up all over again. Where are their emotional support pets in these crying times.]
I, uh... Y-Yeah.
[He coughs, rubbing at his eye for no reason whatsoever.]
She's one of my best friends. We've been though a lot together. So I guess it just... meant a lot to me, coming from her. [...] I really hope she's doing okay.
[ she gives him a little squeeze before she pulls back a little, though she keeps her hands planted on his shoulders if he needs an extra few seconds to reground himself. ]
You are totally not lame for crying, by the way. If, you know, that was ever a concern of yours. If anyone gives you crap about that, I'll push them into the fish tanks like what happened with Ryo last week.

Now, that's something I'd pay to see. [...] Thanks, Persephone.
