Liari listened sadly to what Ayu had to say, never taking her eyes off of her. The poor woman... she was suffering so much... Liari could feel it in her flesh as much as she could hear it in Ayu's voice that her adopted sibling, despite everything, still loved her... loved her so much... and it, among other things, was killing her. The Magic out of control, the unstable emotions bringing out a side so unfamiliar and so dark, it was practically a different person! Even with this risk, Ayu offered her hospitality. The Majin said nothing for some time, just soaking in the information. How could she even respond to this adequately...? Was all she capable of causing nothing but pain for Ayu...? They SHOULDN'T be having this conversation! ...And yet, here they were! Liari sighed heavily, and stood up and walked over to Ayu, wrapping her arms around her sibling. She hugged her so tightly, clinging to her as if she were going to wither away back into that haunting dark flower alter-ego of hers. 

    "...I'll always love you, Ayu..." The Majin whispered, cradling the much smaller, but much wiser and sweeter woman in her arms. "No matter what, I always will..."
