[Saori doesn't let up, relentlessly hugging the stiff, chilly mage. He's an idiot, a mortal fool with no grasp of what he's saying. She doesn't want to tell him that, of course. Suffering is hard, and all being suffer. But to wish away...happiness like that, that's nonsense.

She lets him finish speaking, and pulls him away. Holding him gently by the shoulder for a long moment, eyes locked, she raises a finger and flicks his ear, hard.]

Helios, you must not say such things. Elise loved you, and you were meant to be with her. In this life, or the next. Do NOT throw away the hope that reincarnation brings. That is the greatest blasphemy you could commit against her memory.

I can't force you to be happy, but its my duty as your friend to remind you that you should never throw away a chance to smile. I've seen your heart. Felt it. You've got a lot to live for, despite your sorrow.

[Yea, sure your fiance died and you have an evil god stuck in your stomach. First World Problems.]
