Perhaps not. But we're all capable of doing dishonorable things. What matters is that we learn and grow from it.

[Take their first meeting, for example.]

[feude]

[ well that was

that happened ]

Learn? Grow?

I didn't have that choice. I don't have that choice.

[bleude]

[yEAH... It kinda did.]

You do. You're able to now, even if you weren't before. And if you feel you can't yet, then I'll continue being by your side until you're able to.

[feude]

[ speaking of FEELING THINGS!!!!!! ]

Do you promise?

[bleude]

[CAN'T HOLD ALL THESE FEELS!!!]

Of course. Anything for you.

[feude]

[ sometimes, it truly does feel like that.

vanitas would do anything for her. nobody has ever. ]

Yes. I want you at my side.

[bleude]

[It's rare for him to put himself out there for other people, and yet

for her, he would. Readily. Again and again.]

Then you shall have me. I promise not to leave you, Jeanne.

[feude]

I believe you, Vanitas.

[ how could she not? ]

[bleude]

Good. Because I'd hate to you to think I was lying.

[He lies about some things, yes, but not this.]

[feude]

You'd never lie to me.

[ wrong ]

[bleude]

[Sorry, Jeanne...]

Of course not, you don't deserve that.

[feude]

You weren't lying about loving me either.

[bleude]

N
No way!

Though I did fool myself...

[feude]

What? You did?

[bleude]

I convinced myself that you could never love someone as awful as me. That I'd be safe falling for you because of that.

[feude]

[ ah

oh putain

that's right vanitas doesn't want someone who would lov - ]

You're not awful.

Who said you were awful?

[bleude]

[He thought he didn't, anyway... That seems to be shifting, drastically.]

I did. Because I am. I'm a thoroughly despicable human being.

[feude]

Wrong.

You are reliable and kind. And although your methods are strange and roundabout, you care for others.

[bleude]

How can you say that after everything I did to you? After forcing myself upon you for my own amusement?

[feude]

Because I do not believe you did it solely for your own amusement.

Vanitas would not play with the heart of the woman he loves.

[bleude]

[Oh, you sweet summer child...]

I'm afraid you may have a mistaken assumption about me. I toy with you and everyone I meet.

[It's part of his love language.]

[feude]

[ well




WELL!!! ]

Not maliciously!!!

[bleude]

That's


true, I suppose.

[He seems stunned by this revelation!]

Mostly I do it because it amuses me.

[feude]

[ yes. yes!! you see! ]

What is the other part that isn't "mostly"?

[bleude]

[He does!!!]

For strategic purposes, of course!

[That was one reason he teased her at first.]
