... Monsieur Lucas was my teacher. He would travel to the different orphanages and give lessons. The other kids in the orphanage would treat me a bit roughly, but when he came, they would settle down and behave because he wouldn't let them be mean to me.

I don't know if I ever succeeded! But... I wanted to love them, anyway. That's all.
I still try to care as much as I can for everyone I meet... because you never know what their circumstances are. I don't want anyone to ever feel unlovable like I did.
[ thanks for avoiding a hand-feeding session here, the handholding was already too much. till eases up enough to eat some of his own food, still frowning. ]
Were people that nasty to you back home? You seem surprised they can be nice.
[ listen there's reflective objects and dreamscapes anything can happen
but, oh... not good. the emotions in return are a level of indignant anger, but mostly just a wholehearted sadness. since it's affection week, he'll give him a hug. ]

But I don't really have a favorite.

Do you have flavors you prefer more than others? Sweet? Spicy? Tangy?

[ he is both indecisive and ]
I kinda just ate whatever was being served at the cafeteria at school.
[ nondescript alien food ]
no subject
[ he will get a bunch of cute sandos… both sweet and savory yum ]
I’m learning a lot about schools in other places. What was it like? Did you enjoy it?
no subject
It was shit, and I'd burn it down if I could. But I made some good memories there.
[ his emotions about this are not tsundere bullshit—there's strong, genuine resentment, but also love and nostalgia. ]
You went to school with Lucas, right?

I'm really grateful for that.
no subject
What, they bullied you? You should've beat them up back.
[ maybe he did... but yves seems nice. ]
no subject
I received a burn when I was younger that scared them...
I didn't want to do anything else that could make them think I was a monster. I wanted to be loved.
no subject
You gotta stand up for yourself sometimes, or people'll just treat you like shit. What kinda love is that?
[ also sometimes you beat a guy up for years and he still loves you. not mutually exclusive. ]
no subject
I do have boundaries where it counts. I don't like being hurt either, and I don't think people like to hurt others.
[ so it's better to stop them sometimes.... ]
... but I think there's love in the way people defend me, even though they barely know me. And I do cherish that.
[ till u are so cute!! ]
no subject
Stop being sappy! I'm speaking generally.
[ boundaries are good though ]
I just don't think it's worth trying to get everyone to like you.

You got a bleeding heart, Yves.
[ till is a tsundere but he's still not this soft... ]
Were people treating you okay over there? [ he assumes so, given their letters. ] I'll beat 'em up instead if they weren't.
no subject
Are you my knight in shining armor, Till? Wow.
no subject
PUSHES ANOTHER SANDWICH INTO HIS FACE ]
Nevermind. Maybe I'll beat you up instead.
no subject
Ahaha! I just thought it was a sweet sentiment!
[ HE'S SO ENDEARED!!!!! ]
But no, I'm lucky... People are kind to me here.
[ and even as he says it, there's a feeling of surprise. even after eight weeks, there's still a little bit of awe ]
