[ It's never enough. It's nothing that anyone has ever said or even implied they felt but something Yuuri carries in her heart anyway. These people -- her family -- have all done so much for her just by being with her. She can never repay them for what they've all done without even trying. She has to give them everything just to even the scales.

She opens her mouth to say as much or something like it but finds that she can't make the words come out. Because... something about that suddenly rings wrong after the talk they'd just had. After she'd been so furious on his behalf about him being expected to give, give, give and get nothing but pain in return. If she's so angry about that burden being placed on a king then why should she expect something like that from herself? They certainly don't expect it from her.

Her hands tighten a little on Ardyn's. ]

We pulled you out of all that dark but we could only do it because you were reaching back. I don't know if you wanted to be saved, back when this all started. But I know one thing. I know you wanted to help us.

[ It's not a matter of give or take. It's not a matter of equal shares or working yourself til you're sick to convince yourself that maybe that's enough. Because that's not how it works. And because if you feel like you're falling behind, one of us will pull you. And if you feel like you can't go on then one of us will push you.

It's as simple as that, isn't it? Because that's just what family does. ]

... We saved each other. All of us.
