[Lalli moves to get up off the couch now. Talking about stuff like this, it makes him antsy.]
We haven't been friends for as long as you two have, but it's still the same. And even if that version that died wasn't the real Emil, it still felt the same.
Mhmm. I couldn't move my body for a while, so he had to drag me around to get me to safety. At one point he was in danger of being caught by some dangerous trolls, and I told him to leave me behind so he could escape. But he refused.

They filled him up with painkillers so he could at least pass on in his sleep. I don't think he realized what was going on.

It's not something I can just forget. It was Emil.

... You really care about him, don't you?

He's my Taichi. Kind of.

Date: 2021-07-04 01:28 am (UTC)I get it. Really. I just meant it as... at least it wasn't the real one. You can cling to that.

Date: 2021-07-04 02:35 am (UTC)...he saved me. Emil did. He could have left me to die and saved himself, but instead he saved me. And he nearly died for it too.
That's something I'll never forget.
