[ you fucking nerd. kaeya just melts. that's nice. hearing kotetsu talk about her makes him realize that maybe he's got some old, poorly-healed over crepus ragnvinder-shaped hole in his chest. he ignores it. that's the best course of action. kotetsu won't fit anyways. nothing will fit, really. ]

Children should be rebellious. They're new to the world. Their wings should spread.

Your family sounds wonderful, Kotetsu... I'm glad they have you.

[ he has thoroughly wound himself around him now, just pressing his nose into his hair, letting out a soft hum. ]

I'm glad we have you too.
