[ Her smile looks miserable, face marked with scratches and a bruise, but it's the opposite. It's warm, it's full, it's real. Finding Theo in another life, waiting until he's old enough to remember her — it's exciting to think about. A relief, too, to believe that she could have a friend outside of Raíz's messed up menagerie who'd know and remember her by the end of the contract. With whom she could try to live out her retirement from saving, balancing, and sometimes ruining the world.
She turns just to look at him. Then she leans in to press a kiss on his lips, voice lowered to a murmur. ]
I'd like that. [ One more kiss for good measure. ] Thank you.
