He listened to the things she said. He suddenly acted without even thinking. She was hurt, and that wasn't okay. "That's not on you." Dimitri said, he stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her to hug her once more, tenderly. "I promise you, Melody, it isn't on you." He reiterated once again. He couldn't bare to watch her be like this. His heart had been warmed just before the song when she was overjoyed, and now she was miserable. It was like she'd owned a piece of how he felt. When he watched her cry, he felt his heart sink. When he watched her laugh, he got the biggest smile. "I know you've already heard this, but it wasn't you. Your voice is beautiful, it's the magic that you have as a siren that did what it did. But that isn't your fault. And I asked for it. I'm grateful that I asked, and even more grateful that you listened. Don't be angry at yourself. Be angry at me." He whispered. It hurt to think that he caused this, by asking her to sing for him.<br/><br/>"The song just made me see some stuff. Just things. I saw my mother and father, but I'd never met either of them." He continued to explain, he voice in a hushed tone. "It was my dreams. I saw my parents that I never met. And I'd brought my wife and children to meet my adopted parents. It couldn't be helped. It's on me for dreaming of things like that, most people would have wanted wealth or power. I promise you, it's just me, it's not on you." Dimitri whispered once more, he needed her to know. "It really is not on you, Melody, I need you to know that. You've done no harm to me. If anything, I'm so<span style="font-style: italic">so</span>sorry that I've made you cry twice now. I'm so sorry Melody, please forgive me. I can't bare to watch you be so upset."<br/><br/>Even still, he couldn't stop talking. He hadn't said enough. It ate away at him that she called herself a monster. She was not a monster, and he even felt angry at himself for making her say that. "Now please, Melody, I need you to know you aren't a monster. You're farthest thing I've seen from a monster. And I'm not saying that so you'll feel better, I mean it. Nobody has ever treated me with a fraction of the kindness you've been treating me with. You're the opposite of a monster. You're an angel, Melody. You know you're beautiful, and your voice is even better somehow. And even then, your kindness, I've never seen anything like it. Do you understand? You're not a monster. I need you to trust me. Can you do that?"
