He blinked. Was he not getting through to Genis? His words, all his encouragement...
He lightly shook his head, still gentle in his response, if a bit pushier in trying to be persuasive.
"Come on, Genis... You know that's not true. She'd never want to leave you, not after you've been together for so long." He leaned in close as he spoke just above a whisper. "She understands, too--that you need to do whatever it takes to get what you want."
Raine had been pragmatic, calculating, intelligent that way--Mithos had admired it a little, deep down, how it had all allowed Genis to become who he was, too...
Right. It all made sense now--why Genis was so uncertain. "Raine... She knew how to prioritize, right? How you had to sacrifice some things in favour of others. She always made those decisions for you, didn't she?" He was gentle in his understanding, sympathetic. "I know it's hard to do it on your own, but you need to make those decisions in her place right now."
