[ As Ori curls up, the concern on his face grows stronger. Trahearne scrambles over to her, eyes never leaving her, and he puts his hands firmly on her shoulders. ]

No. I won't blame you for this. It wasn't your fault, and this decision is... It's mutual. And even if he does find out, I know he'd be understanding.

[ He has a big heart for someone who doesn't have one, after all.

There's a pause before he pulls Ori into a tight hug. If there's one thing he takes away from this experience, it has to be the care he now feels for her. Even if it isn't romantic. ]

Whoever falls in love with you...is in for a treat. [ Truly. She's so caring, so delightful, and, objectively, beautiful. It's hard to think the last time he smiled so constantly.

Quietly, he promises himself to make sure she finds love and happiness here. ]

I feel like...if we really met in a dream...

[ He pulls back from the hug, a little smile on his face. ]

...I could have fallen in love with you.
