Lucas just continued to cry as Yasa comforted him. What the anon said about Simon did hurt, no matter how many times he heard it. Because in the back of his mind, he felt like he could have prevented it from happening. If he hadn’t frozen when he realized he was right in the path of the avalanche…maybe Simon would still be here.
Still…he found a lot of comfort in her words. Look at it that way…he couldn’t help feeling a little happy knowing Simon loved him so much. Enough to be willing to risk death for his sake. Sure, the fact that Simon died in the process still tugged at his heart…but the knowledge that Simon loved him enough to do that was a great comfort to him. He choked on a sob as the thought crossed his mind, but still..
That knowledge allowed him to make a small smile, despite his tears. It was small, probably barely noticeable…but it was there. It was a start. “O-Okay. I’ll try,” he hiccuped. “Th…thank you.”
Everyone always thinks the same when it comes to loss. They could have done something, they could have prevented it, or worse it should have been them instead. No one knows how events would have played out had other instances occurred. What people need to remember is that they cannot play with the past nor dwell in it. They must walk forwards to the future while keeping the past in their hearts.
"It's no trouble at all, Lucas.. I hate to see people upset, it's the least I can do.. Especially after you defended what other humans know me as. I may not be as physically strong or defensive as my brothers but I still have my own special niches where I shine. Not to mention I can be Pretty terrifying with my own signature abilities.. So.. thank you Lucas..."
