[CLEARS HIS THROAT, everybody pay attention to Lethe!!! puts his hands over Blossom's ears so she can't hear though]

A while back, Charon asked me if I had any regrets about my collar turning white. We were just messing around and I didn't want to be cheesy about it, so I said I'd tell him later. And, honestly, I kind of thought that it went without saying. But it's good to say those kind of things out loud from time to time.

I wouldn't trade it for anything. None of us chose to be here in the pasture or be put in the Lily barn. But even if I got to pick, I wouldn't go anywhere else. I'd probably be fine if we were all just roommates, but—I like that we like each other. I like that we enjoy spending time together, and look out for each other, and work well together. I want to know more about your lives and the things you're passionate about. I want to look out for you, and I know you'll all look out for me.

[he takes a breath and only squirms a LITTLE, because this is embarrassing and he's dying inside]

Aides, you're one of the nicest people I've ever met. You're always willing to pick up a new project or talk to me about literally anything that pops into my head, and you're always fine hanging out with me. I feel like I learn something new every time I hang out with you, even if it's just video game lingo. I appreciate it every time you speak your mind, and I take it all to heart. You're a great housewarden, and a great person, and I can't wait to tell your family about alllllll of the cool stuff you've done here.

Styx, I've already told you this to your face, but I'm saying it again so that you don't forget it: you're one of the people here that I trust the most. I know you'll be honest with me or call me out if I'm doing something short-sighted. But it's also nice to spend time with you no matter what we're doing. Whether we're making breakfast or yelling at each other or shooting each other with stupid foam darts, it's nice. You're a good guy, and I'm going to make your world a better place for you.

Perci, you're amazing at everything you do. You're smart and crazy powerful and always manage to pull yourself together. But I like it when you're silly or sassy or mad, too. Out there, you can put on any mask that you want. In here, with us, I like knowing that you're not holding yourself back, even if it means getting into arguments from time to time. Maybe that's a stupid thing to worry about. But I know that there's a lot of stuff in your past that's hard to talk about, and it means a lot that you're willing to trust us with that. I know how much that trust means. I'll do my best to be worthy of that trust.

Ananke, you're a good person. You keep getting thrown into impossible situations at home and here, and you do the best that you can every time. You're kind and caring and never afraid to speak your mind. Even when things get tough, you don't let it weigh you down. That's not easy to keep up, and I really admire it. I want to do whatever I can to support you--not because I think you need it, but because I really want to. I want you to have more happy days than sad days. I want you to mess around with your friends more. I wish you get to live a boring, peaceful life with your family someday.

Chronos, your dedication to looking out for us is kind of overwhelming sometimes. But it also makes you incredibly reliable. I know you have our backs when we need it. I don't know if it's possible when things are always so crazy here, but I hope you can build a life and be more than a mercenary who is willing to follow orders. I want to see what you decide to do with your life from now on, even if it takes time to figure out.

Minuet, the dedication that you put into looking after everyone makes me envious. It makes me want to be a better person. I know you're not "part of Lily" or anything, but everything I said about Lily applies to you too. We wouldn't have agreed to share a kitchen with you if we didn't think we could trust you, after all. You're actually one of the nicest people that I know, and I like spending time with you. It's nice to be able to just mess around from time to time. And...thank you. For everything you've done for me.

[that's the best he can do and no he will not elaborate, the emotion being there is what counts]

You guys are amazing. This isn't our home forever, but it is our home right now. So...let's bring Charon home.

[congratulations you all get a x2 boost to all abilities and skills]

[... this is the most embarrassing way to get a buff]

[imagine being the person who has to say all of those words]

[thank God I only have the power of Gun and Charon's stupid earth rune on my side.]

[SUCH EARNEST WORDS????? Chronos is

right now]

[he has expunged all of his sincerity for the day. pats Chronos on the shoulder]

Stay safe, okay?

Ah, yes...

[HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND because no one has ever said anything so kind to him before so bluntly so he just blurts out:]

I'll protect you, don't worry.
