[That earns a soft laugh from Mikleo. Cringey is right. He feels the same way looking back on it, even if it's followed by fondness and warmth.]
Even though we looked that way to them, they still ended up helping us. I'm grateful...
[He finally starts picking at his teriyaki.]
In our past lives, Sorey and I wanted to see everything we saw in the books and then add in other things that we found along the way. We did do that for a while, but it wasn't long before we stopped following in another's footsteps and began making our own.
There's something freeing about that. It's scary, too, don't get me wrong... but I think it suits us better. [His smile is more genuine this time.] And we've made some great friends this time, too.
