Nadeline could have been struck down where she stood and the gods would have been much too merciful. She needed to take matters into her own hands, and her mother was not helping matters. At all. She was encouraging this. What did she ever do to deserve this?! To her horror, Wesley admitted their kisses. She could have killed him. Why would he ever admit that?! Now she'd look like a skank! Or worse! How bad did it look that they've kissed but never gone on a date before?! It was too much, too much. Her face was probably as red as Wesley's. She couldn't take much more of this torture.

Wesley's words had shot through Lorenzo like an arrow. He backed away, somewhat disoriented by Wesley. He dropped to his knees rather dramatically, and remained there for just a moment. He then let out a wail, crawling back to his wife and placing his head on her lap again. "[b]Dear, did you hear that?! They've kissed! I can't believe he deflowered my gorgeous daughter already! Has he no shame?! Why must I be a grandfather so young?![/b]" He wailed dramatically. "[b]I'm just not emotionally ready for him to get her pregnant yet! Why doesn't he understand?![/b]"

Karolina patted his head understandingly. "[b]But darling, it's young love, the most beautiful thing in the world.[/b]" She told him as she gently raised his head so he would look at her. "[b]Why, isn't that how we were? So young and foolish...and then we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. Don't you think they would want to partake in that kind of happiness?[/b]"

Lorenzo sniffed. "[b]But I'm not ready! It's too soon! Too soon![/b]"

"[b]There, there, darling, I'm sure they'll have plenty of grandchildren for us to spoil.[/b]"

"[b]But what if he takes her back to Dalmasca, darling?![/b]"

"[b]Oh my, you have a point there dear. Perhaps we could move?[/b]"

"[b]Ah! Of course! We could be there every step of the way, I'm sure Dalmasca would be good for your health as well! Oh, this is why I love you, dear~[/b]"

"[b]And I love you just as much, darling~[/b]"

Oh gods someone please put her out of her misery. Nadeline couldn't believe the conversation at hand. She let out an exasperated sigh, putting her head in her hands. Please someone, anyone, just make it stop!

Grant looked at Savayna with the most serious expression he has ever had. "[b]Unfortunately, yes.[/b]"

The tension could be cut with a knife. Justine couldn't believe the nerve of this boy before her. He had no idea of their struggles, the hardships they face, who the hell was he to judge? Andre looked from Justine to his daughter, though his eyes landed on his wife. Years of hearing nothing from their daughter, and this was the way she treated her? He was to blame, of course, but he couldn't believe how she was acting. Emiri released Jaakuna, walking over to her father. "[b]Papa...I'm so sorry...[/b]" She told him quietly. After that she looked back to Jaakuna, tears streaming down her face. "[b]You're wrong...I...I haven't changed at all...[/b]" She told him with a sad smile. Before anyone could react, Emiri ran out of the room. 

She didn't even know where she was going, anywhere was better than there. She ran out the hallway, out of the hospital and into the pathway that led between the different buildings of the hospital. She found herself running off the path, however, and into the gardens. For one reason or another, it felt very familiar. She finally stopped at a secluded part of the gardens, a small fountain before her. A statue sat in the middle of the water, its hands clasped together in prayer as two angels were above it. The place was filled to the brim with lilies of all colors. She sat down, hugging her knees, and just cried. She hated herself so much right now.
