When Mithos smiled and held his hand, it was so easy to open up to him and forget how he had shut him down before. It really felt like he was listening and he cared - like there was a little bit of hope to reach him. Genis brought his other hand up to carefully hold Mithos's, eyes looking back at his friend's without any fear.
Was he really happy?
He knew the answer Mithos must have wanted, and it was true there were a lot of things he would change, but even looking back on the bad times left him feeling nostalgic. Even when most people hated them, their friends were always there beside them. Helping them, working beside them...
So he nodded.
"Yeah... I was really happy then." His fingers tightened around his hands. "There were times that were hard, but we weren't alone. We got through them, and...I was so happy. I liked traveling with everyone, and I liked playing with you, too. When we were all together, it was a lot of fun."
Before Raine died, before he knew Zelos was a traitor, before Mithos was their enemy, before he accepted that Colette had to die. His gaze fell away.
"I know things can't be the same anymore, but...I really liked how things were before."
