( truly they were so similar in many ways and soon reira would come to find that out and realize what a kind person hilda was in the end. she wanted nothing more than to repay the favor at some point, to comfort her just as she had comforted her—

after all, she was no stranger to cruelty. the other could have easily allowed her to wallow in her despair all on her own or worst, mock her for it. it was strange but when reira thought about it, when was the last time anyone had this level of kindness for her? back home she was viewed as a simple machine to sing and to provide for her band, to keep things afloat and her own desires were neglected. it was then that she sought toxic outlets.

for now though, she smiled at hilda and fully stood up. she was slightly taller than the other, even more with her heels on, but soon she was kicking them off and holding them in her hand. )

( and whether hilda wanted it or not, she was quick to lock arms with the other and guide her along to where they needed to be. )
