[The faint motion isn't lost on Luca, despite the mess of hair blocking his view. He isn't surprised by her reaction. He also doesn't even attempt to temper it. There's nothing he could say that would do so. Alazon had been terrible for him, and yet Luca had come running back to him every time. There was a desperation there.
... he almost missed it.
Instead, Luca focuses on what Kiera says. She... really does make a valid case. Even if he doesn't agree with the words, the effort means much to Luca. He knows these topics are difficult, if not outright alien to her. The fact that she tries at all means everything to him.]
Every day is a struggle to do so. It was... so much easier when I could mindlessly break and destroy. I don't remember how I ever managed kindness before. Not when everything is as... cruel as it is.
