[ okay. hug time. he'll actually hold it for a moment because zhongli asked and not at all because he just doesn't get the opportunity often. shut up. ]
Zhongli, Ali, and Akihiko. [ ... ] I'm not sure why that Till guy is here. We saw him while we were there, but I thought he'd disappear with Iris. And he doesn't even remember the whole thing.
... I'm glad that you have a physical gift from him. He cares about you very much, you know. Every one of my letters from him is a request for me to make sure you're eating.
No, no. It has nothing to do with whether or not you can take care of yourself, it's just that life is a little easier with someone with more life experience at your back. That's all.
...I guess. I’ve really only had my teachers before this. [ he doesn’t even know his parents like some of the other kids. ] Knowing someone like him is... really different. I'm not used to it.
But it did kind of make things easier, sometimes.
[ having someone who always supported him... it was nice. it made it feel like things could really work out, somehow. laurence never realized how much he'd come to rely on that until zhongli was gone. ]
Well. Hopefully they can make it back soon. I still miss them.

well, anyway. ]
I guess it means we really go through other parts of heaven for these things, somehow.

That's what the angels suggested, yes. [ whew. a beat, and then he gently taps that yellow ribbon. ] A gift?

What?! No way. I’m not that bad at taking care of myself... Is it just because I can’t cook?
