DIO

[coldlight]

[unguilded]

What is it?

[coldlight]

Am I allowed?

[unguilded]

Allowed to what?

No matter what it is, though, I bet the answer's yes. Anything, remember?

[coldlight]

Be in love with you

[unguilded]

I was right, then! About the answer being yes.

It's not something to really be 'allowed' anyway, that sort of feeling. Because whether or not someone tries to hide it or knows that it won't be returned, feelings like that aren't really something you choose. They're just something you feel.

[coldlight]

. . . I think I am in love with you, Lord Dio.

[unguilded]

You think?

[ reaches down to squeeze one of his hands. ]

We'll have to work on getting you a little more sure of that!

[coldlight]

We will?

[ he's letting you have his hand ]

[unguilded]

Well, it feels better knowing something for sure, instead of thinking it, right?

[coldlight]

Yes.

[unguilded]

[ gives his hand a squeeze and a hard shake. ]

So, I want you to feel that way! And to be able to say things like that with certainty.

[coldlight]

I will try my best

[unguilded]

You should try practicing now! To see how it feels.

[coldlight]

It is more-

[ he hesitates ]

I am very used to thinking I am not allowed to have those feelings. So even if I have those feelings, I am unsure of them. Because I see a wall between those feelings and myself that I cannot get over.

[unguilded]

Then if you can't get over it, I'll just have to help break it down!

[coldlight]

Eh?

[unguilded]

It's no good if something like that is in the way, right?

[coldlight]

No . . . not it is not.

[unguilded]

So, I'll help you get rid of it! I'll help you get rid of all of them.

But saying things like that ... you should give it more credit! Because it means that those feelings are there, and you know that they are. That counts more than anything, I think.

[coldlight]

I will try to believe in that

[unguilded]

No~! Sound more assured when you say that!

[coldlight]

E-eh?

[unguilded]

Like, I won't just try to believe in that, I will believe in it!

[coldlight]

I will believe in it.
