Souta watched as Aya spoke, noticing her struggle to clearly hold back tears. Silently, he turned to fully face her, gently using the back of his index finger to stroke Aya's cheek in an attempt to sooth her. Indeed it was a bold move for him, but this would be the only time that he'd be able to show her a little affection... she deserved it. [b]"Aya... You didn't choose to be the way you are... The demon within you is the one who preforms those horrible acts... not you, not Aya. You just need to learn to control it as much as you can... Control your anger. And if there's a low percentage of those who can control their demon in your family then... you can be part of that percentage"[/b] Souta slipped his finger softly under Aya's chin, tiling he head up a little to look into her eyes. [b]"You don't realise just how strong you are Aya. I'm not talking spiritual energy-wise, I'm talking emotion-wise and willpower.... What you did for Chie... How you looked after and took care of your younger sister for so long in dire times so well... That's something only a small percentage who had experienced similar trauma as you two did would of been able to do"[/b] Souta removed his hand from her chin, just incase she began feeling uncomfortable with the sudden touch. [b]"You can do it Aya... I believe you can, [i]Feeme[/i] believes that you can and no doubt Chie would believe so too..."[/b] He gave Aya a comforting smile, hoping that she wouldn't cry...
