MAEA
Astra left, and Maea raised her hands to her face. Scrubbed it with her hands, frustrated with her own inability to help him. To let him see himself the way she saw him. She got to her feet, but gestured for him to remain seated if he wished; she just had to move, do something to release the tension in her.
"See, that's the thing, Loren. I wouldn't be mad if that's what you thought, just sad. Angry at the people who broke you down to this extent. It makes me wish I could hurt them back just the same way... until I remember that... they probably were hurt the same. Because it's how you did it in the family, right? Everything your parents put you through, it was done to them too. A whole messed up cycle, generation after generation." She dragged both hands through her hair, held them behind her neck and looked at him, eyes full of anger and sadness on his behalf.
"But you don't have to fix anything. The only thing wrong with you is that you're sad, and it's not even wrong. You are good, and kind and thoughtful, and I like you just the way you are. Do you think I'm sitting here, talking to you like this because I'm hoping you will become someone else? That you have to somehow change? Well you don't!"

I'm an angel bored like hell
And you're a devil meaning well
