...Yeah, I get that. You're like my mom like that. Her heart doesn't beat, either, like yours. But, she's also a vampire. An undead.

[Their voice is softer, hesitant, but certain.]

I think I can understand your perspective a little. Humans... the ones I ran into, as I got older.. well.

[This is still a private channel, so...]

I've been disappointed. A lot.

But I can't help but look at people and see who they are, and what they could be. I can't help but love that about people.

["Even when they hurt me when they reject the whole of me" goes unsaid.]

...You're human to me, Byleth.

And.. if you need... or want. I mean... Given... how this place is.

[Hold on, trying hard not to fluster, and failing.]

Just... let me know. If I can do anything for you. Protect you, help you, sleep with you, or have sex...

...I've lived long enough that your plain acceptance... it means so much.

[Their voice cracks, shivers, and there's a faint, rough breath that they draw in, but nothing else, as they struggle to compose themself again.]
