It's unfortunate and selfish how it takes her back.
It takes her back to when she'd come back to the capitol after running off to the coast, after her first encounter with Yona and everyone. That moment when she'd done everything she can to try to motivate her father to mobilize the soldiers, when she'd called out to him to listen and he'd told her that she was being rash. Told her that she needed to cool off in her room for a weak and the crushing feeling had begun to set in. It wasn't enough. Even when she said that she'd fight alongside him--
But the difference is that Leon fought directly against his father. Hugo. Whoever this man is.
Before anything else, the words that escape her as tears again prick at her eyes are the ones that she had always tried to tell herself, voice small yet certain:]
You are - and always have been - enough.
[It's funny.
She thought that she was done crying over him.]
... I'm sorry, I didn't mean - [to upset you like this. to dredge up even more bad memories. to remind you of your own inner demons.] .... I'm sorry.
