When Melody heard Dimitri apologizing for coming there, she shook her head. That wasn't true at all. It was because of him that she knew that someone could actually understand her. Someone she could possibly call a friend. That would mean more to her than a hundred days in the forest. He had to know that much anyways. Even if their time together was short, she could learn to trust him. Maybe he could help her control her siren form when the time came for it. That didn't mean she was ready to conquer that fear yet, by any means.<br/><br/>"Don't you dare apologize for coming here." she looked at him sternly even with a few tears falling down her face, "It was you coming here that made me realize that I wasn't alone. It made me realize that I could have a friend who understood what I wasn't normal, but accepted me anyways. Someone who I could start putting my trust into. If I had been in those woods and you hadn't came along, I would still have the burden on my shoulders of being alone...the burden of being the creature I am...the burden that I could never have friends again." she gently cupped his face with her hands before giving a soft, genuine smile.<br/><br/>"I would never regret you coming here. Yes, I might have cried twice, but you've given me the gift of being able to cry. I haven't cried in years, and I can finally do it again. You've made me more human by letting me experience these emotions. I can finally put down my guard and show that I'm not always a happy person. Don't you dare apologize for that. Also, don't wish you could be better...because you are." with that, she slowly removed her hands from his face before wrapping her arms around his neck, giving him a comforting hug. She couldn't let him feel horrible for this. He changed her life and the words she spoke didn't even begin to express how much he had done so.
