[warlord.]

"Sometimes, a distraction is good. Especially for the line of work he's going into. Too much stress doesn't help anybody. Rin, he's going to desperately need you. And I'm sure you're going to need him, too."

[Balsam]

"Why would he need me? Over emotional, quick to anger me? The me who's wearing out what she's known for? Len doesn't need me. He won't need me. He'll find the someone he needs."

[warlord.]

Len clenched his fists. "RIN! Stop being so NEGATIVE! I told you not to, but you didn't listen... Why are you so sour when I need you the most? This isn't what we need right now! Why don't youuu... Nnn..." he was cut off as Assistance knocked him out with a shot.

"You're the one who's attitude we don't need right now, Len."

[Balsam]

"... Forgive me. But I'm done keeping it in." Rin muttered. ".... I've bottled some of those emotions up for so long to make Len happy. That's how much I love him. I inflicted so much pain onto myself in order to try and make him happy. But now after saying it.... .... I realize how foolish I am."

[warlord.]

"It's alright, Rin. Let everything out. He won't hear you."

[Balsam]

".... I want to support him. I want to be with him every day. I want to be the person he returns home to after a day of work. But.... .... I had so many doubts! Doubts that apparently I am not allowed to have! Foolish doubts I don't want to have anymore! But how....? How was I to get rid of them if I never had someone to truly speak about them with? Len would never listen. He would tell me to stop. Stop being negative. Stop talking. I've never had him to talk about it with. .... But speaking with you now, you who listens.... I feel a heavy burden lifted from my shoulders. Enough to know you're right. .... I want to be his distraction. I'll wait as long as it takes.... With a smile and a light heart. I have no more doubts."

[warlord.]

Assistance smiled. "Do you feel better now?"

[Balsam]

".... Better? Is an understatement."

[warlord.]

"Wonderful~ I'll take care of Len when the medicine wears off. You two will be back to normal once I talk to him."

[Balsam]

"Alright." Rin stood up. She hugged Assistance quickly. "Thank you....."
