If you know Lucy-san...or, I suppose her name is Kaede-san...

Please, I want to speak with you.

I want to know who this person is within my mind...



[ private to Tezcatlipoca ]

Tezcatlipoca-san, may I have a moment of your time?

[ 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?

[saudadist]

[ 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.
