Mm, that's not entirely fair, though. We saw him at his absolute worst, but we never knew him as a person. Lailah's the only one who did out of all of us. Still...I wouldn't wish anyone to become a hellion, especially when there's a chance he couldn't be purified.

Thank you.

[For caring. For listening, even if Mikleo hasn't said anything about how he feels.

He takes his hand away and steps back after saying that. The seraph's smile is wry at that.]

You have a point. And, yeah, he has it. You could ask Sorey if you want to borrow it. I don't have to tell you to be careful with that book, do I?
