Genis caught Mithos's expression as he said his name, and for a moment, he was worried Mithos thought he was going to say "No."
But that wasn't right. In the end, being friends forever just meant that much to him. Genis knew he was lonely. In the end, they were both always lonely. Now or in the future. Even back then on the summit of Mt. Fooji, they were both happy that they could always be friends. Friends that understood each other, cared about each other, and wouldn't die and leave the other alone.
This way, we'll uphold that promise together. Though didn't he promise to be by Lloyd's side forever, too?
For a brief moment, Genis fought to keep himself from looking away again. If he thought about that too much, he could feel the guilt weighing down on him. He betrayed Lloyd and all of their friends, but he wasn't going to betray Mithos or Raine.
He couldn't turn his back on them.
So, even if thinking of becoming an angel left a pit in his stomach, he took hold of Mithos's hand, too. He didn't need to change, he wouldn't lose anything, and in the end, Mithos wouldn't worry about losing him.
That was what mattered. "Yeah," Genis answered quietly, meeting Mithos's eyes sympathetically. "Yeah, let's do it. As long as we're together, then I don't mind becoming an angel with you."
