(it’s not hard to see all the pain he still carries in his heart from his days at god eden, the choices they forced him to make, and the actions he regretted as a cause of that. he didn’t deserve all that. midori herself has seen just how many strides he’s made since finally freeing himself from the tyrannical clutches of the fifth sector. he’s been more sociable, making efforts to repair the damage he’s done, form new friendships, better himself as a person. as a manager, and someone who genuinely cared for his well being, it made her happy to see such a change.
which is why she believes he doesn’t deserve all of the grief he still gives himself over what he did. him finally looking up at her, that different form of pride making an effort to show through, it lessens her worry over him a little. and it earns him a gentle smile, one you’d expect from a big sister figure who just wants to help someone see how truly amazing they are.
It’s what hakuryuu truly deserves.) Of course they don’t talk about all the hardships. No one likes hearing about struggles or challenges that can hurt. Who wants to face that?
(and it’s fact. the particularly grueling parts in stories are always skipped over to get to the final battle and happy ending. something midori herself takes a bit of issue with.) But the people in those stories are stronger than we give them credit for. The enemy can become the hero, and the princess can be far tougher than she looks. And a lot more forgiving, too. Those happily ever after things… they’re definitely not gonna happen like they do in the stories. But any ending where you walk away happier is a good ending, right?
