"Feelings are difficult." They really were, the swirling emotions that threatened to drag him down, towering rage, fear that choaked him. But also hope and love. They were just as capable as overwhelming him as more negative emotions.

"I feel like I have been learning to acknowledge and understand my feelings since I left my city." In West Town, in the Tower, here. "The Tower was... there wasn't much time where we weren't... But I found Aster and Reno. It was a bad place but there was love there and friendship. We wouldn't have survived if we hadn't formed bonds between us."

And here? Sometimes Shion felt like he was going backwards. He had lost control more times than he should have. His emotions were... difficult. Especially when they came to love, romantic love. It was familliar but so different than the love he felt for Aster, his mum, Reno. So much more complicated.

"Would... if you could see all your futures, of all the possible worlds. If you knew that you would be left..." He shook his head, his words weren't... He wasn't making much sense.
