[ Godzilla's eyes widen and in a very rare instance he feels his blood run cold as realization slams into him with all the subtle force of a freight train.

Nyuu sought her own end. Misguided and kept in the dark by Kaede's desire to protect her, Nyuu almost took both of them from the world thinking it would be a positive. That's... well, it's terrible. No-one should ever have to feel like their death is a requirement. ]

Little One...

[ In a careful movement Godzilla embraces Nyuu, arms closing comfortingly around her shoulders and tugging her close, his tail coiling around her protectively. They don't know each other nearly as well as he and Kaede to bee sure, however the urge to be there for her runs just as deep. ]

Kaede is one that gives understanding and kindness readily to others, she will forgive you without question I am certain. You have no need to fear her ire, it is a thing she reserves for herself more than any other.

[ Again Nyuu squeaks from the contact. Her hands struggle to find purchase against his leathery hide, but as tears fall from her eyes and soak all the way down to her chin, she clings to him as easily as a child to their mother. Guilt washes over her and soaks down into her marrow despite the warmth of his words. ]

I really am the worst. I wanted to end her life without understanding why she did what she did. Without understanding how much she was hurting.

[ She sucks in a breath through her nose. It's all she can do to keep from sobbing even as she clings to the great kaiju like a sobbing child. ]

I don't deserve her forgiveness.

[ The tightness squeezing against Godzilla's heart is something he's only felt a few times in his long life. When his dear ones have died, or when Kaede was taken by the enemy. He feels it now for Nyuu and Kaede's sakes both, they have each suffered through far more than any one should have to. ]

Peace, Nyuu. Peace.

[ Once more that comforting trill rumbles in his throat, his body vibrating with the noise like a cat's might from purring. ]

Kaede-hime is not without her own fault in this. Deeming your ignorance a necessity is what led you to that path. One can not lay blame upon you for not understanding in the past.

[ After a moment of hesitation he experimentally tries to stroke Nyuu's hair. He's seen it done in film and out in public, this is how humanoids comfort one another. He's especially mindful not to tangle his claws into any of her locks by mistake. ]

Yet the past is that, the past. Learn from it, however do not live within it. It is gone, buried. All that is of import is how you choose to live in the present.

[ Nyuu squeaks as she tries to follow his advice. Tries to stifle her tears by rubbing her eyes and sniffling. Still, there's an enormous hole in her heart that she has no idea how to fill. ]

I want...I want Kaede-san to live! I want her to be happy! For every moment I have where I'm happy, I want her to have two! Three, even!

[ She should be more selfish, she tells herself. The "her" called Nyuu deserves to be happy, yet the more she thinks about it, her blessings are only because of the sacrifices of the one called Kaede. ]

Please, Godzilla-sama...help me!

[ For one who's not a fighter in any way shape or form Nyuu certainly has fire in her. This shouldn't be a surprise, separate beings as they may be it would make sense that her and Kaede's souls are made of similar strength. ]

Ah. You speak with the conviction of a Titan, Little One.

[ Another trill, followed by an even deeper rumble. He's chuckling, if she glances up she can even see that big lizardy grin of his as he nods along. ]

You are as much my Kin as she, there is no requirement to ask my aid. I give it readily.

[ There's a pause in the hair stroking so he can give her a more firm, but still gentle, head pat. ]

You are two souls within one body. Now that you have awareness of this you may work together to ensure your mutual happiness. However... [ A beat, a shake of his head. ] Kaede is stubborn. It is likely she shall resist and insist on her suffering for your well being still. I shall assist in you in convincing her to cease such behavior, yes?

[ In spite of the tears lining her lids, Nyuu's gaze is resolute and she nods with conviction. ]

I will! I swear it...

[ The other her she's never known...the killer buried deep inside...so many people can't be wrong, can they? Kaede-san isn't a callous person. Surely, there's something good in her! Something that draws the kind words of others. A kindness that's allowed her to live so sheltered and carefree for so long!

Nyuu sniffles hard but looks up at the great kaiju with her eyes burning, jaw set, fists clenched at her sides. ]

I will live...for the sake of those I love...and for Kaede-san. And for those she loves too. Because I know she has to have those who love her! They want her to live...and I do too!

[ Godzilla meets Nyuu's gaze with something shining in his own eyes. Something that has his tail's tip twitching like a pleased cat's. ]

You are far stronger than one would guess, Nyuu-hime. I am proud of you, Kaede-hime shall be as well.

[ Pride, that's what it is. How could it be anything else when someone who's had every reason to hide and shatter puts her best foot forward and resolves to fight on for those she cares about. ]

Yet you forget something of import. [ One arm remains around her in a secure hug but he lets go with the other. So he can proceed to gently boop her nose with the tip of one of his fingers. ] There are those whom wish for you to live as well, you are as loved as you have love to give others. Your intent is noble, yet it shall not do to forget your own wants in their pursuit. Do not replace Kaede-hime's martyring with your own, you understand this yes?

[ Princess? A princess. She never thought to compare herself to such a thing. She only has the most threadbare idea of what it means to have a title like that. Someone with power, truly. More power than she could ever dream.

She squeaks at the touch to her nose, but the very next moment she's nodding, just as resolute as she was prior. ]

I won't. This is...this is my body too. I have my own life...Kaede-san and I...we'll have to work together! So that we both can be happy.
