Hearing Genis say that he wanted to go through with it would have pleased Mithos enough. But for him to want both of their sisters back... It was like music to his ears. A hint of a deep and genuine smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "Genis...we'll bring them both back."

A brief pause, and then he closed his eyes a moment, continuing, "Nobody else can understand what I want...except you, Genis. I know I can count on your help for everything." After all, there was no way that Genis would return to his other sad excuses for friends, not after this. Right?
