[ I care about you, Lucia. I'm gonna help you however I can.
When was the last time anyone's told her that? Her best friend, sure...but not even her own family would say things like that to her. She loves them and they love her, but affection was hardly ever expressed verbally, which is what, at times, touches her heart the most. There's something to be said about a hug, like there's something to be said about hearing someone tell you that they care about you.
She's silent for a moment, letting that sink in. Someone cares. Someone who knows her more than most people do hasn't decided she's worthless and actually wants to stick around.
She feels something forming at the corner of her eye – a tear. She hasn't cried since the first few days in Crescentview. She told herself she wouldn't, especially while on a date with someone. But here, in the presence of someone who genuinely cares, she finds herself feeling vulnerable. She brings a hand up to wipe at her eye, but it's clear that the tears aren't going to stop there. ]
Y-you...you don't need to...you don't need to do that...
