I gotta be, y'know? At least one twin needs to be right so Koko can do what he needs to, to heal.

[She looks a little stricken,and covers her mouth.]

I just never want to be alone again.

[Dammit.]

[scholiast]

(She winces a little.)

You're not gonna be alone again, I promise. You have all of us.

[umbrastaff]

Do I? This family seems so split apart, Luce.

[scholiast]

I know.

(She sighs and reaches out to Lup across the elevator, offering her hand.) But we're all here anyway, and we love you. We're not about to sit back and let you suffer.

[umbrastaff]

I know.

[She takes Lucretia's hand in her own.]

It just feels like trying to piece together something made of glass. If you're not careful, you'll end up bleeding from a sharp edge.

[scholiast]

(She gives it a reassuring squeeze.)

It does, huh. But– fuck, Lup, I've spent one hundred years with you, with our family. I'm not going to let my mistakes tear it apart.

[umbrastaff]

[She sighs at that, but there's a little smile on her lips.]

Well, at least we're all stubborn enough to keep trying.

[scholiast]

(She nods, and lets go of Lup's hand.)

Do... you think that it's bad, that I keep trying?
