At that, though, a quiet sigh escapes him.] He doesn't... He treasures me. [Perhaps too much, yes, but still. Vincent has been incredibly good to him overall, the scissors incident aside. And his little outburst after he heard him and Verso had made out.]
I know... I appreciate that you're worried for me. But I'm not suffering, not from anything he's done. Only from my own greed. [Because he still longs to have it all.]
Wanting to be loved doesn't make you greedy, mon amour. It makes you human. [Verso brushes Vanitas' fringe to the side and leans so their faces are level.] We'll work on the details. [Together. Because Vanitas wouldn't give him up. Not even when it could have cost him Vincent.]
