Sayori: *trying to hold back tears, under the assumption that Sephiroth would abandon her if she displayed any signs of emotional weakness*
Sephiroth: Sayori? Is everything alright?
Sayori, still refraining from tearing up: Everything’s all right, Sephiroth. There’s nothing to worry about
Sephiroth: It’s fine, Sayori. You can let it all out
Sayori: But Sephiroth, I don’t want you to leave me
Sephiroth, tearing up as well: Sayori, why would you ever think I’d leave you?
Sayori: I don’t know, Sephiroth. Maybe it’s because I’ve seen people abandon their friends when they were at their worst. I was afraid the same would happen to me too
Sephiroth, barely letting out a smile: Sayori…I just want you to know that I’m here for you, especially when you’re at your worst. I’ll be right here by your side, no matter what the problem is. Now just let all of the tears flow out like a waterfall…
*Sayori jumps into Sephiroth’s lap and bursts into tears, as Sephiroth hugs Sayori in his arms*
10 minutes later
Sayori: Thanks for allowing me to let it all out, Sephiroth. I feel a lot better now
*Sephiroth pats Sayori on the head*
