Not only because he healed but because she could tell him the truth. Lia raised her hand and then patted Zero on the head. Slowly tears ran down his face and he retracted his hands before THUD threw himself into Lia's arms and started wailing again.
Snot stuck to Lia's clothes but Lia could only hear Zero's words echoing in her mind, "I'm angry but I forgive you. I forgive you for using me because- because you taught me to be a good person. This is what a good person does."
"Thank you Zero," Lia kissed the top of Zero's head when her view accidentally fell on Yano. The sulking male stood in the kitchen with a pan in his hand and turned his head away being caught peeking.
