[The touch that Lust gave him - it was a first, he thinks. Well, it felt warm. Maybe that's why it stood out. For someone who insists they lack humanity, she sure seemed more human than some of the other people Flynn's known. But no... she was herself. Yuri was himself. And Flynn was himself. There was no point in pushing a cart sideways. People can change a little bit at a time... but being anything but who you were wasn't going to help, especially if it was forced. Starting bar fights... trying to take on roles that weren't his to take... none of that was helping anyone. As exhilarating as it felt to try new things, he had to stand tall. Which is what he did - facing his Shadow, he extended his hand.]

[His smile was solemn yet subtle. Yet it was genuine.]

[The Shadow moved toward Flynn, and whispered something in his ear.]

... I can't promise she'll say yes.

[The Shadow shook its head, before disappearing.]
