<span style="color: #666600">"I don't think she's heartless but I agree on everything else. She's just expressing her love in the worst way possible and is too stubborn to admit she fucked Ibara up on a fundamental level, long before the Eternals and Loa ever started to mess with us."</span>He rolled his eyes and nodded.<span style="color: #666600">"You should be honored to be compared to the memory of the strongest and most reliable person I ever once loved. Just like your Ibara, I was betrayed by Vyre too when I would have done anything for her without question. But the woman she used to be... she was something different entirely. She is who I measure other women against as unfair as that is to them. Ibara isn't upsetting or even frustrating me, I think what she's missing from a lot of people around her is someone who just lets her talk and be angry. There's another Eternal here working to calm her down, a Timelost daughter of Susan who was apparently ripped from her family and turned into a tool by her Timeline's Order. Poor thing is a disaster. But I'm happy to let Ibara talk and rage at me, the more emotion she lets out the less she has to bottle up and hold inside."</span>He nodded and let the mana dispel harmlessly into the air.<span style="color: #666600"> "Well, I've got several hours to kill before Ibara's mom is ready to leave... I wonder if that businesswoman is free, she did offer to buy me a drink sometime. I should take her up on it, and get her name."</span><div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
