**Kamina** Kamina had an epiphany. Through his sudden burst of insight, he now understood everything "I get it now! Celes...I now fully understand why you keep denying your ability to control the very hears of others; it's a family secret! That explains everything!" At this point, Kamina's eyes began to water "I...I had no idea you were struggling like this for so long; caught between your loyalty to your family, and your loyalty to us, your friends. I am so ashamed of myself, how could I have missed the pain you held in your heart all this time" no he was openly crying "you hid it so well Celes, none of us had any idea you were suffering such torment. You're strong Celes, your heart has a strength that I've never seen in anyone else before. I...I am humbled by your suffering. But it's over now Celes, you don't have to suffer any more." He yelled the next part "feel free to keep your family secrets! No kindhearted person would ever force someone they loved, platonically or romantically, to chose between their loyalties! So neither shall we! No now Celes, that you no longer have to chose between your family and us, your secrets are yours alone and we respect that!" --- **Tini** "Was it really? Was there really nothing else we could even try? Why was torture our default course of action?" Tini began to weep. "It's horrible, having the crazies. I...I'll never forget when that Delcatty gave me the crazies; it was so scary, I still have nightmares about it. I was her mind slave, I did anything she said to. I couldn't fight back, my mind was just so cloudy. Even when I managed to get the clouds to go away...they just came back again! It was like they were smothering me, and not in the good way! If...if master hadn't saved me with his frying pan, I'd still be her slave. Yet there I was...just watching someone else suffer what I had to go through. I'm no hero..." Tini would have continued his existential moping, had he and Bonnie not been attacked. As the Galade came at them, Tini had a sudden epiphany. "Fairy Wind" this time when he used his minty attack, he didn't cry out it's name with his usual energy, but with an oddly dark tone "now I understand, I was never meant to be a hero, that was a fools dream. Instead, I was destined to be a brooding anti-hero. Making speeches about how life is pain, speaking with no emotions beside apathy or anger, willing to go to any lengths to get my man...like taking candy from a baby. The ends always justify the means, thank you for teaching me that Bonnie." The Galade, meanwhile, was rightly confused by this tiny and quite frankly adorable little Dratine trying (and failing, quite miserably) to be dark and brooding
