<p><em>Crying? Really?</em> Ey frowned, searching her face and posture for any hint that this was some calculated display of emotion. </p>
<p>&ldquo;Is it something about the L<sub>5</sub> System?&rdquo; ey asked, hunting for something to fix, helpless to stop emself from doing so. &ldquo;Is the culture that different here? Maybe something about the System itself? I&rsquo;m trying to think of what might be different.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I do not know, Ioan.&rdquo; She sniffed, sat up straighter, and smiled tiredly at em. &ldquo;Again, if I did, perhaps there might be something that I could do to address it. I know what I am &mdash; what I have become &mdash; in comparison to my peers. While I am trying not to view that as a failing, it is&hellip;difficult.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Something with Jonas, perhaps?&rdquo;</p>
<p>She looked away.</p>
<p>Ey had to resist the urge to reach out and offer her eir hand to hold for comfort as ey did so often with May. They looked so similar even still, and all the more so when struggling with overwhelming emotions.</p>
<p>She must have caught some hint of this on her face or in eir posture, as she grinned to em. &ldquo;If I were built more like your May, then perhaps I could more easily accept comfort, but I am not. Thank you for listening, though. I cannot talk about these things with Jonas.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ey laughed and shrugged sheepishly. &ldquo;Sorry, True Name. Long habit. Still, I&rsquo;m happy to listen, I suppose. I know that my relationship puts us in a precarious position and there are still some aspects about our history that are&hellip;difficult to internalize, but, well&ndash;&rdquo; Ey sat up straighter at a sudden memory. &ldquo;Hey, have you talked with In Dreams yet? Or this Sarah Genet?&rdquo;</p>
